Window Starter Application

The problem
As a freelancer juggling multiple projects, every boot meant re-remembering and launching a pile of apps/tasks. One day we had three power outages in 15 minutes and I had to reopen everything over and over—super annoying. Scripts weren’t user-friendly, so I built a small app to automate my Windows startup.

The solution
Manage a personalized startup pack: list the apps/links you want to auto-launch at boot. Your routine becomes: power on → grab a coffee → come back to a ready-to-work desktop.

Install & get started

Download

• Installer: StarterAppLauncher-Setup-1.0.0-beta.exe

• Release: https://github.com/quanntdev/starter-application/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta.3

• Source (public): https://github.com/quanntdev/starter-application

Install

1. Run the installer (it creates a shortcut).

2. Note: This is a free Beta build and doesn’t include a code-signing certificate yet. Windows SmartScreen may show “Windows protected your PC.” If you trust this installer, choose More info → Run anyway to proceed. (The stable release will be fully signed.)

First-time setup

1. Launch the app → enter your email (this marks you as a beta tester; you’ll get priority access and lifetime free use for new features).

2. Open the Application tab → pick the apps you want at startup → Add to Favorite.

3. Go to Favorite to review your list.

   • Supports launching apps and browser + links.

   • For browsers, you can add multiple URLs (e.g., open Chrome with an extra facebook.com tab at boot).

4. Open Settings to configure launch delays between apps.

5. In Admin Settings (Menu), enable the startup trigger so launches run automatically after boot (important).

From now on, whenever you start your PC, everything in Favorite will auto-launch in the sequence you set.

Roadmap & feedback

• I’m adding more built-in tools under the Tools section soon.

• Please try it and share feedback. If you have an idea for a new tool, drop a comment—I’ll explore and build it if it fits. Thanks!
