Comparison of application launchers
- Comparison of application launchers

Although arguable, some consider desktop search tools to be application launchers as well, given their ability to quickly find and launch indexed applications. Such desktop search tools able to launch applications as well include Spotlight or Google Desktop. For a more broad list see Desktop Search tools.
Some applications, such as DOMercury, Keybreeze, and Quicksilver, fall into a gray area of application launchers and desktop search engines, as they do more than just find and launch files and applications.
Other application launchers include:
* AppRocket (No longer supported) for Windows
* SkyLight (successor of AppRocket) for Windows
* ActiveWords (for Windows)
* Dave’s Quick Search Bar (for Windows)
