Features

Icon grid: Every app in Start → All apps, desktop and Store apps, as a grid of icons.
Search: Ctrl+F to search, Esc to clear, F5 to refresh.
Details: Double-click an app for its path, version, publisher, install date, size, uninstall command and package info.
Actions: Open, open file location, or add a desktop shortcut, for one app or a multi-selection.
Shortcuts done right: Copies the original Start menu shortcut when there is one, otherwise links to the app the same way dragging it from Start does. Existing shortcuts are never overwritten.

Windows: Download AppShelf.exe and run it. It uses .NET Framework 4.x, which comes with Windows 10 and 11.
