dsh-applauncher

DSH Desktop is a workspace, yet the local applications you rely on daily still live scattered across the Start menu, taskbar, and random folders. dsh-applauncher bridges that gap by surfacing installed apps directly in the DSH sidebar, so your most-used tools sit right next to your workflows without leaving the current window.

The plugin auto-scans the Start menu, uninstall registry, and App Paths, preferring Chinese names where available and extracting real application icons from the executable. Added shortcuts appear in a compact icon grid; a single click launches the app via the Windows Shell. You can search, add, and remove shortcuts on the fly, and the interaction model feels familiar to anyone who has used a Windows Start menu. On the security side, the browser never touches arbitrary commands—launching is resolved strictly by saved shortcut ids, the config file stays local, and no network calls are involved.

Ideal for Windows users of DSH Desktop who want a quick-launch panel for their everyday local apps. The plugin ships with zero Node dependencies and zero build step; once installed, an "Apps" button appears just above the Settings icon in the sidebar, ready for you to curate your own grid of shortcuts.
