Welcome to the CyberLauncher Wiki!

CyberLauncher (current version: v1.9.1) is a full-screen desktop application launcher for Windows, built with Electron + React + TypeScript. It works as a fast, keyboard-driven alternative to the traditional Start Menu — it runs alongside Windows without modifying system files — featuring fuzzy search, system-wide file indexing, and a distinctive glassmorphic aesthetic with neon accents.

Free and open source (GPLv3). No ads, no tracking.

Here you can learn about the functions and detailed usage of CyberLauncher.

  • Icon maintenance: per-app and mass refresh with on-disk orphan cleanup + silent auto-check on startup.
  • Backup & Data: new settings tab to export / import the full JSON config (apps, categories, shortcuts, indexer, scheduler tasks).
  • Footer & panels: right-panel collapse, collapsible sidebar stats, footer context menus (hide uptime / launches / date-time), 24h launch tracker.
  • Tray & HiDPI: native multi-size ICO tray rendering, brand icon + Help submenu, direct Windows taskbar-icon settings helper.
