AILaunch

AILaunch lists the AI CLI tools you actually have installed and launches the one you pick — right when you open a terminal on macOS.

Overview

Works with any AI CLI — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Aider, Ollama, and whatever else you add. It auto-detects which tools are installed, shows a zero-dependency shell menu (arrow keys to move, space to multi-select, enter to confirm), and launches your choice. One tool installed launches straight away; multi-select opens each pick in its own terminal. Fully configurable via tools.conf.
