Get full visibility into app health, errors, and performance

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m the solo dev behind Launchy Launchpad.

Over the past few weeks, I went deep down the rabbit hole of performance - optimizing, refactoring, and shaving off every millisecond I could. It honestly turned into a bit of an obsession. 😅

Now it’s finally out, and I’m really curious how it performs outside my own machine, in real-world use.

Launchy is completely free and open source - no paywalls, no catch.

Also, since the timing is… questionable:

👉 this is NOT an April Fools’ joke

(But depending on how you use it, your coworkers might think it is 😏)

I’d genuinely love your feedback - especially around performance right now.

Ideas, feature requests, bug reports… all of it helps a ton.
