Nowadays, ChatGPT (and other AI) generates download links to give you files. Normally you have to click the link, wait for it to download, then go to your file explorer (if you are on Windows like myself), locate the .bat or other (if you had one made), or open powershell and paste a run command block; do all that to run your AI-made file.
This eradicates all that. With the helper, you simply click on that download link, and BOOM, LaunchBridge runs it immediately.
LaunchBridge is a small Windows app that opens local app packages.
It helps you try apps that come as .devmind packages. It can check the package, install it on your computer, and start it.
- Opens
.devmindapp packages. - Keeps installed apps in one place.
- Helps your browser send a downloaded package to LaunchBridge.
- Shows clear problem reports when an app does not start.
- Lets you copy problem details so you can paste them into an AI chat for help.
Use the latest GitHub Release for the ready-to-run package.
This repo has the source code and helper files. Most people should download the release file, not build the app by hand.
The Problems tab is easier to use.
- The Copy problem details button is now easier to find.
- The button stays visible in shorter windows.
- LaunchBridge tells you when the problem details were copied.
- If copying fails, LaunchBridge tells you to copy the visible text by hand.
LaunchBridge includes a browser helper for Chromium browsers.
When you click a supported package download in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or another approved site, the helper can pass the finished download to LaunchBridge.
Normal files like pictures and documents are left alone.
