AppLauncher

When working on multiple projects, you normally have to switch between several sets of applications, and launching each of them individually is a time-consuming task. However, it is possible to execute them all at once if you have the right tool at your disposal.

AppLauncher is a simple utility that, true to its name, enables you to launch multiple applications in one go. It allows you to configure multiple presets, making it a lot easier to bring up all the tools you need for a certain project.

AppLauncher is a fully portable program, which means that it does not need to be installed before it is used, and it stores all of its configuration data in the application folder.

When you also take its reduced file size into consideration, the utility can be stored on a portable drive quite easily and used on multiple computers.

Unfortunately, AppLauncher cannot be minimized or sent to the system tray. Given that many users would probably have liked to keep it within reach at all times, this is a significant drawback.

For the most part, AppLauncher is very easy to use, as its functions are fairly self-explanatory. You can create multiple program configurations and add any number of applications to the launch list.

However, you cannot view which programs are included in a certain project at a glance, and the utility cannot detect installed applications automatically. Because of this, it may take some time to configure your projects, as you have to navigate to the location of each executable manually.

On the whole, AppLauncher is a handy software utility that can help you work more efficiently, as it is capable of executing multiple applications at the same time. It could still use some small improvements, but it is a great tool for those who frequently need to launch certain sets of programs when working on various projects.
