5.0/5

In the eventuality that your Windows computer includes dozens of files and apps, then using the traditional way of finding them via File Explorer is less than optimal. If you want to keep your focus and energy on your tasks, then it may be a good idea to consider using a launcher.

ALTRun is a powerful launcher developed as an open-source project using AutoHotkey and that provides a streamlined and efficient way to find anything on your system.

The app is portable and comes with a user-friendly interface that you can customize from the Options menu. Simply put, you can change the number of columns, font size, window width, background picture or hide the title bar, for instance.

There are other interesting settings you can find in Options that enable you to dictate the behavior of the tool based on your work style., such as keeping the app always on top or creating a SendTo menu.

A noteworthy feature is the integration of the Listary Quick Switch Dir function, a feature that extends the program's utility to file and directory management. What this means is that you can switch between directories, streamlining navigation through different file paths.

This particular feature can come in handy if you are typically a person who often works with a diverse range of directories, as it offers a quick and efficient solution for managing and accessing files across various locations.

As previously mentioned, the tool is build on AutoHotkey, and hence, you can use both of them to make your work fast and more efficient. The app packs an AutoHotkey menu when accessed from the System Tray, where you can access the default script and change it accordingly.

Since the latter provides an optimal environment for creating custom scripts and automation tasks, it goes without saying that you have the flexibility to further enhance ALTRun’s functionality to fit your specific needs.
