AppImageLauncher ★ 8373 351 APPLICATION

AppImageLauncher is a Linux desktop integration utility for AppImage portable applications. It intercepts AppImage launches (via binfmt_misc and an LD_PRELOAD-based bypass), prompts users to move AppImages into a central applications directory, registers them with the system launcher by installing desktop files and icons, and provides context-menu actions to remove or update integrated AppImages. A background daemon watches watched directories via inotify and automatically integrates newly added AppImages and unintegrates removed ones. The project includes a main Qt GUI, a settings dialog, first-run wizard, CLI tool (`ail-cli`), daemon, and remove/update helper binaries.
