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!
