From the maker
I switched from Linux to macOS a while ago and there are two things I still miss: Launching apps with parameters. On Linux you edit a .desktop file and that's it — VS Code opening a project folder, a script, whatever. On macOS there's no simple way to do this. Automator and Shortcuts feel overcomplicated for something so basic, and the paid launchers do way more than I need. Alt+Tab showing windows, not apps.
