What it is

LaunchBastion in a paragraph

LaunchBastion opens with one key and finds the app, file, folder, setting or bookmark you want after a few letters. It also runs commands: calculate, convert units, look up a word, kill a process, empty the bin. Indexing happens on your PC and the index never leaves it.

Planned for the first release

Apps, files, folders, Windows settings and browser bookmarks in one search
Commands: calculator, unit and currency conversion, clipboard, process control
Extensions for your own scripts and web searches
Learns what you pick; the top result gets faster
Opens in under 100 ms; light on memory
Local index, no telemetry
