About
Launcher Studio is a modern, native GTK4 application designed to simplify the creation and management of .desktop files on Linux. Whether you need to fix a broken icon or create a shortcut for a standalone AppImage, Launcher Studio provides a powerful yet simple interface. Key features: Basic editor for name, executable path, and icon selection. Comprehensive launcher management: Browse, search, and filter user, system (/usr), and Flatpak applications. Advanced settings: Categories, Keywords, MimeTypes, and Startup notifications. Raw Source View: Inspect and edit the .desktop file content directly. Native integration with GNOME and Libadwaita (Dark/Light mode support).
