H9

A lightweight script launcher

Why

H9 is a lightweight launcher designed for users who need a simple yet powerful tool to run scripts and commands. Unlike more complex launchers like Alfred and Raycast, this launcher focuses on minimalism and ease of use. The key feature is its ability to run fully customizable scripts, allowing users to tailor the tool to their specific needs without unnecessary complexity.

How to use

To help you get started quickly, I’ve recorded a video tutorial. Click here to watch, and you’ll be up and running with H9 Launcher in no time. This video will guide you through the basics, ensuring you can make the most out of its powerful features right from the start.

Commands

One of the standout features of H9 Launcher is the complete customizability of all command scripts. Users can create, modify, and manage their own scripts, making the launcher a perfect fit for individual workflows. For detailed instructions on how to customize command scripts, please refer to this guide.

I’ve also provided some simple preset commands, and I encourage your guys to create their own powerful scripts. Don’t forget to share them!
