G App Launcher (Shortcuts for Google™)
Description from store

G App Launcher helps optimize your workflow by letting you open your most commonly-used websites from the browser toolbar. It opens shortcuts in a new tab so you can stay productive your own way.

Easy to access
Open the launcher extension from any page with just a click or through a keyboard shortcut.

Packed with more than 1,000 shortcuts
Add any Google website to the launcher or create your own shortcut to sites that you visit often. Over 1,000 shortcuts are available, including really obscure websites and action-based shortcuts. You can also add apps from Google Workspace.

Customizable
Personalize the launcher with shortcuts of your choice, with many options for layout and appearance. Dark theme is supported.

Integrated
Launch shortcuts with the same account as the page you’re currently on. Replace the default Google app launcher with this extension to bring your shortcuts with you on Google websites.

Synced and secure
Carry your personalized launcher across devices with support for browser-based extension sync. This means only you have access to your shortcuts; these are never sent to our system.

Thoughtfully designed
Feel at home with the familiar design based on the original app launcher. Your shortcuts are accessible through keyboard navigation.

Note on permissions
We value your privacy and security. G App Launcher requires additional permissions which the browser will inform about this on installation or first use. G App Launcher only uses these permissions for:
- automatically getting the icon for websites you add manually,
- replacing the default app launcher on Google shortcuts with G App Launcher,
- making sure the shortcuts launched for Google websites are for the same account that you’re currently signed in on, and
- correctly triggering action shortcuts related to the website you’re on (such as ‘Gmail send this’ or ‘Bookmark this’).

could be better

Evgen Opanasenko 2025-10-03

Very very useful extension for Chrome!

Sefton Hanley 2025-10-03

Does what it says on the tin.. Superb and frees your 'new tab' or homepage from google while keeping the gApps launch option

Nicholas Hodson 2025-10-02

Such a great Chrome Extension. My only complaint is that the updates will sometimes make it difficult to access the functions.

Cesar EP 2025-10-02

Since the last update, the extension has been displaying an annoying notification to rate it on the Chrome Store, and it keeps reappearing. Was it necessary to spam a such a simple extension?

XSites WebAfford 2025-10-01

I use this plugin maybe more than any other as it's fundemental to workflow, higly recommended and updated regularly.

Scott Boysen 2025-10-01

Great except that it asks me every day to leave a review! Maybe this will stop it!

Craig Blackman 2025-08-29

This does exactly what is says it will and it does it correctly every time. v29

Mod Modster 2025-03-14

great!!!

João Paulo 2025-02-27

Incredible!!! Please improve the interface so that when hovering over the apps, the background is highlighted, just like in the original Google app launcher. Currently, the highlight only happens when clicking, but it would be great if it were also triggered when hovering over the apps.

Alexandre Lopes da Silva 2024-11-06

Superb!

Alexandre Lopes 2024-11-06

Excellent extension!

Mike Haggstrom 2024-11-01

Spams the history of the browser like this... chrome-extension://ponjkmladgjfjgllmhnkhgbgocdigcjm/views/embed.html?t... So devteam please fix this bug

Dave Ferrise 2024-11-01

Was a 5-star app but current version replicates pages in history at a fast pace, making history-based navigation difficult if not impossible. Once this is fixed I will change to 5 star. I have now temporarily disabled until this bug is fixed. If you click and hold over the back arrow in upper left-hand side of chrome you will see it add history pages repeatedly.

Khỉ Flo 2024-11-01

Very useful ! But now there's a bug so I have to deactivate if temporarily : it creates tons of elements in the History (like once every few seconds) which makes it almost impossible to get back to a previous page. I also assume it slows down Gmail and I had to delete my whole history with... almost 20 000 pages recorded ! Please fix this bug then I will activate the extension again. 😊

mrnobodyx100 2024-10-26

Thank you for an amazing app!

Samuel Poulton 2024-10-14

Great extension! The only missing feature is allowing the enter key to select/launch the app.

Já faz parte do meu Chrome, facilita muito o dia a dia. I noticed that started to have a lot of entries from the G App Launcher at the navigation historical (ctrl+h). How can I prevent this? It's really hard to do a quick search at my historical.

Carlo R Queirolo 2024-09-09

Please, let me know why the extension fills my History with thousand of connections per day? This make my History page unusable. Thanks

Shunyuan Chou 2024-06-11

this extension uses a lot of browser CPU, don't know why?

MansıV Rahman 2024-05-08

why does it need to read my browsing history

Khoa Nguyen 2024-04-26

enough w the update pop-ups

Kimchhe Oeung 2024-04-19

Great extension and certainly an alternative to the default but can you add an option to put in our own links to other websites and not just google service. Great effort!

Rick Malkin 2024-03-16

Fabulous App in my humble opinion. Use it with all the browsers I use and just works magic.. Much thanks to the Dev..

Andy Freauff 2024-03-14

I use an extension that overrides the new tab page because I don't want to see my bookmarks bar on the new tab. The background on the new tab now doesn't include a the google apps icon. Not only can I now have my icon back in "toolbar" fashion, but I can customize which google apps appear on it. It took me trying a few different extensions that were outdated or just didn't load any apps before I found this one. AWESOME EXTENSION!!!

Evgeny Opanasenko 2024-02-04

Useful and Light

e Howard Green 2023-12-14

What is this, a repackaging of Shortcuts for google Still get it popping up when reopen Chrome. You reported that was fixed in shortcuts way back in 2021 or 2022.

Rahim Pourrahimi (‫عمو رحیم‬‎) 2023-12-14

I really love your extension, as it made the clunky Google launcher actually pratical . Thank you .

khoa nguyen 2023-12-08

literally an update every other day or so. don't install unless you love meaningless popups

CG 2023-11-13

Stop opening a new tab every time it installs or updates - I DON'T CARE - this just needs to work when it's needed then gtfo of the way and stay hidden otherwise; you're not so important to warrant this malware-like pop-up; we don't need a life story from this extension, sit down.

I really love your extension, as it made the clunky Google launcher actually pratical. A little report though, is that the menu sometimes randomly pop up for no reason... Is that a glitch? Otherwise, great extension.

WOW! Fantastic extension. It's in the top three of my favorites and most used. The developer does a great job of supporting it, including responding quickly to questions or issues. I love this app so much! It's very handy. Plus, I've discovered a TON of google apps I didn't know about! Thank you for providing this!!!

I can no longer change the apps that appear - I can't remove the ones I don't want, nor add the ones I need at work.
