App Review Notes
TagLauncher is a macOS utility for organizing installed applications into visual tag groups and launching them from a keyboard-accessible app grid.
No demo account is required.
Review Flow
- Launch TagLauncher.
- Press
Option-Shift-Space to show the app grid.
- Press
Space while the app grid is visible to open Quick Search.
- Type part of an installed app name to search.
- Press
Escape once to close Quick Search.
- Press
Escape again to close the app grid.
- Open Settings from the menu bar or with
Command-Comma.
Expected Behavior
- The app scans installed applications locally to build the launcher index.
- The app grid intentionally appears above normal and fullscreen app windows.
- In fullscreen and Split View Spaces, AppGrid, Quick Search, and Settings should remain in the current Space instead of switching to another Space.
- While the app grid is visible, TagLauncher may hide the Dock depending on user settings and shows TagLauncher's menu bar.
- The system Force Quit window remains above TagLauncher.
- Import/export uses standard macOS file panels.
- In sandboxed App Store builds, login-at-launch may be disabled if the LaunchAgent approach is unavailable.
7.8.13 Specific Note
Version 7.8.13 improves discovery of newly installed applications. When App Grid or Quick Search opens, TagLauncher performs a lightweight signature check of standard application folders. If those folders changed, the local app index refreshes; if not, no full rescan is performed.
