A launcher built like a Swiss army knife

Hacker News

Hey there. I'm a solo dev and when I'm working on a project I often have to do a number of different things, with a various assortment of apps. Each app has its own quirks, drawbacks, and configuration (not to mention pricing). There are keyboard shortcut apps that let you stitch things together, but then managing your workflow becomes part of your workflow. Monarch just lets you cycle through big tools with the tab key, and smaller tools with a single key (such as colon for emojis). It's been in use by a small community since October 2023, and so far people have found it very helpful to get things done and stay organized with some even saying they can't work without it. Monarch works everywhere with cmd+shift+space (you can change this). You'll be surprised at how quickly you get used to it. It's fully offline, fully private, zero data collection whatsoever. Fun fact: The way I came up with the idea is actually based on Final Fantasy 15's main character, who is a king that can use a bunch of weapons by summoning them at any time. I have designs to expand on this concept in the app, but this is where it's starting!
