AppLaunch screenshot

AppLaunch is a Mac OS X tool written in Objective-C/Cocoa to launch common Unix and MacOS commands using a "graphical command line". You can say that it is the Mac OS X version of Windows', KDEs, "Run"/"Launch" dialog.

AppLaunch is a Mac OS X version of the common "Run" or "Launch" dialogs provided by other operating systems and window managers such as Windows or KDE. It consist of a input box where the user enters a command line that will be passed to the applications workspace.

A command in the AppLaunch meaning is not only a "pure" shell command, since version 2 it may also be a file, an application or an URL. For executing this command the program uses the shared workspace instance.

For easy usage, the application can be dragged into the users dock right next to the Finder icon so that it is good accessible. The GUI events are caught as known from the dialogs above, so if the user launches the program and presses ESC it will be shut down.
