Multi-Launcher

Keeping track of all your desktop activity might be troublesome if you don't use the appropriate tools. Multi-Launcher is a tiny program that records recently accessed applications, documents, folders and webpages, giving you the possibility to effortlessly relaunch them from a list.

Wrapped in a portable package, Multi-Launcher creates an icon in the systray as soon as it's launch, starting to monitor PC activity right away. On left click, you can bring up the main window to view the four tabs responsible for listing recent programs, docs, directories and webpages.

Information about each item includes the time of access, process name and filetype, full path on the disk, as well as usage. The webpage section also reveals the name of the browser, which comes in handy when juggling multiple browsers for your different activities.

The upper part of the window holds a search function that shows results in real time for the current list only (partial matches are accepted), along with two buttons for sorting the lists by date or usage. Unwanted items can be left out from this list by filtering them via the right-click menu.

Additional options can be explored in the right-click menu of the systray icon, where it's possible to keep Multi-Launcher's window on top of other applications, hide it after launching, change the font size, back up the recent lists, or modify the default refresh time.

Everything worked smoothly in our tests and the app left a small footprint on the computer's performance. The interface might be rough around the edges but, overall, Multi-Launcher offers a simple and straightforward solution for any user interested in collecting information about recent apps, docs, folders and websites, in order to rapidly access them from a single place.
