One shortcut to every shortcut

Fast when you need it.
Gone when you do not.

Taskbar Launcher stays quietly in the Windows tray. Call it with a hotkey, type to filter, launch what you need, and get back to work.

Focused by design

A launcher that stays
a launcher.

No feeds, accounts, or cloud dependency. Drag in what you use, organize it your way, and keep a clear path to everything on your Windows PC.

01

Launch anything

Open applications, folders, files, websites, and scripts from one compact tray menu.

02

Drop it straight in

Drag files, folders, shortcuts, or web links into Settings and Taskbar Launcher creates the items for you.

03

Reach it instantly

Use the global hotkey, keyboard navigation, Recent items, pinned shortcuts, and search with parent-menu context.

04

Edit where you work

Right-click a launcher result to edit, pin, disable, or open its containing folder without hunting through Settings.

05

Launch it your way

Choose a working folder, start an app minimized, or run an app or file as administrator when it needs elevation.

06

Organize at scale

Duplicate entries, alphabetize a menu, validate missing targets, or export and import one item or an entire section.

07

Add useful context

Store notes with each item and search them later; detailed tooltips show its path, target, arguments, and type.

08

Make it yours

Use per-item layouts and icons, then switch among MarkHaven, MGET, System, and Windows Classic colour schemes.

09

Keep it portable

Everything stays in config.json beside the app, with built-in export, import, backup, restore, and optional Windows startup.

The real application

Compact up front.
Capable underneath.

The launcher stays intentionally compact while Settings handles deep organization, safer launch controls, reusable item sections, and portable configuration management.
