What it does

NEXUS Launcher is a lightweight, portable app launcher for Windows. Instead of a cluttered desktop full of icons, it opens to a single clean screen showing only the applications you've chosen to put there — nothing else competing for attention.

Point it at your programs, and it organizes them into one focused view you can search and launch from in a couple of clicks. No installer, no background services, just one exe you can carry on a drive and run anywhere.
