Show HN: Launch – A Mac Script Launcher

https://staunchapps.com/launch/
1•andrewjk•1h ago
Hi HN, I’ve made a Mac launcher that runs JS scripts. There are the usual scripts for opening applications and finding emojis, but you can also `cd` around and run scripts in the working folder (there are built-in scripts for copying, moving and deleting, and I’ve made my own custom scripts to e.g. clear out build artifacts). It’s kind of half launcher/half command line.

- 100% Mac native

- Your scripts live in ~/Launch (or another folder if you prefer)

- You can connect to a Git backend (my script files are connected to a private GitHub repo)

- You can write your own scripts to do anything that JavaScript can do (with some node polyfills for fs and fetch)

- Autocomplete and help text for scripts and script arguments

There's a 7 day trial download or a $12 once off purchase.

I hope you like it!
