Keep the Launcher one shortcut away
Open the global panel from any app with a configurable shortcut, while the Launcher settings make the active binding and direct entry point explicit.
LauncherMac Workflows
Reach the right Foldout tool or workflow from anywhere on your Mac.
Launcher is Foldout's keyboard-first front door. Open one global panel over the app you are using, search by tool or task, run a direct mode, or describe a longer outcome in ordinary language and review the grounded Foldout workflow it proposes.
Start the 14-day trial in the app. No payment method is required to try Foldout.

What it does
Search, route, and start Foldout work without navigating the main app first.
Open the Launcher globally with a configurable shortcut while the current app stays in context.
Search every Foldout tool, feature, mode, and safe direct action from one field.
Describe a multi-step outcome in ordinary language and receive an inspectable grounded workflow suggestion.
Start capture, recording, ruler, OCR, QR, presentation, and other direct modes without opening an intermediate settings screen.
Use task categories, recent tools, and pinned commands when browsing is faster than typing.
Drop or stage files so the recommended tools and workflows can account for the actual input.
Navigate, open, switch modes, pin, and clear entirely from the keyboard.

Turn a sentence into the right tool or workflow.
Search by name when you know it, or describe the outcome and let Foldout assemble a grounded next step without leaving your current app.
02
Turn a complete request into a grounded workflow
Describe the outcome in ordinary language and review the specific Foldout steps before opening the workflow, while the original request remains visible for context.
Why it belongs
Why Launcher earns a place in the toolbox.
The practical details that make this job faster, clearer, or safer than doing it by hand.
One shortcut reaches the whole toolbox
The floating panel appears over the current app, so opening a utility does not begin with finding Foldout in the Dock or navigating its sidebar.
Exact search stays exact
Tool names, feature labels, aliases, file types, and supported tasks are ranked by relevance so a direct query leads with the strongest match.
Long requests become visible plans
A sentence can produce a grounded workflow made only from registered Foldout steps. The proposed sequence is shown for review; it is not run silently.
Modes remove intermediate clicks
Supported tools expose direct actions such as area capture, scrolling capture, screen QR reading, OCR capture, and recording modes inside the Launcher result.
The panel learns the working set
Pinned commands, recently used tools, and browse categories keep recurring work close without hiding the complete catalog.
Files provide useful context
Staged files narrow the relevant tools and let a workflow start with the same inputs after the user accepts the suggestion.

Questions
Before you try Launcher
Does a natural-language request run automatically?
No. Launcher shows a grounded tool or workflow suggestion for review before anything opens or runs.
Can I search for a feature instead of a tool name?
Yes. Search covers tool names, aliases, feature labels, modes, and supported task language.
Can the shortcut be changed?
Yes. The global Launcher shortcut is configurable in Keyboard Shortcuts.
Can I use Launcher without the mouse?
Yes. Arrow keys move through results, Return opens, mode commands remain keyboard reachable, number shortcuts open pinned items, and Escape closes the panel.
