The Launcher is an innovative GNOME panel applet or stand-alone application launcher automatically adapting to your habits. The ultimate goal is to make it possible to run any application with as few clicks as possible. This means tracking your favorite applications, and not forcing you to mark or organize them by hand. Preferences change with time, and The Launcher responds to that automatically. It delivers a simple, clean, and usable interface with advanced features like 'search as you type' and 'smart search', and requires zero configuration effort. It should be especially handy on touch screens and in keyboard-only scenarios.License: GNU General Public License v3Changes:
