App Launcher

Your apps, games, folders and websites, one tap away on your XENEON EDGE. Open Steam, Discord, your browser or a game launcher without reaching for the mouse.

Type the name of an app from the built-in list, like Steam, Discord, Spotify, Chrome, File Explorer, Settings or Calculator, or paste the path to any app, shortcut, file or folder on your PC (in File Explorer, hold Shift, right-click it and pick Copy as path). Websites work too, just drop in the complete URL.

App Launcher shows each app's own icon, read straight from the app on your PC, so your EDGE looks like your taskbar. Websites show their site icon, and Windows tools like Settings and Task Manager get a matching icon in your theme.

Type Lock, Restart or Shut Down to put your PC's power buttons on your EDGE. Restart and Shut Down always take a second tap, so a stray touch can't turn your PC off.

Open apps with a double tap (the default), a single tap or a press and hold. A dot marks the app you opened last, or turn it off. Small holds up to 8 apps and Medium up to 16, and the tiles grow when you have fewer.

App Launcher opens everything through iCUE. To show icons, it reads your apps in Program Files, your AppData folder, the Start Menu and on your desktop, and never changes them. Website addresses go to Google's site icon service to fetch their icons.

Part of a matching set! Hardware Monitor, Hardware Monitor Dials, Weather and Radar, Calendar, Clock, Calculator, Battery, Now Playing, FPS, Fan Monitor, Power Cost, GIF Frame, Game Launcher, RSS Reader, Audio Control, Stocks, Countdown Timer, Game Deals and UniFi Monitor use the same themes, palettes and edges, so put App Launcher next to Game Launcher to make one seamless dashboard. Check out the full set by clicking Atomic at the top of this page.
