Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Instant app focus

Press your modifier + a number to jump directly to any pinned Dock app. If it's not running, it launches. If it is, it comes to the front.

Window switcher

When an app has multiple windows open, a sleek floating overlay lets you cycle through them. Release the modifier to confirm.

Open new windows

Add Shift to the shortcut to open a brand-new window of any Dock app — without touching the mouse.

Always in sync

Reads your live Dock order directly — no configuration needed. Rearrange your Dock and shortcuts update instantly.

Zero data collection

No analytics, no tracking, no network requests. LaunchKey runs entirely on your Mac. Your privacy is fully intact.

Flexible modifier

Choose Option, Control, or Control+Option as your trigger. Pick whatever avoids conflicts with your existing shortcuts.

Two shortcuts. Endless speed.

That's the whole interface. No menus to dig through.
