Frequently asked questions

AirLauncher is a quick shortcut launcher built natively for visionOS and the Apple Vision Pro. Add shortcuts for your favorite apps and websites to have them ready to launch in just one tap.

To delete an AirLauncher shortcut, look at the item and pinch your fingers, and hold the pinch gesture for a second. A menu will pop-up with a delete option.

To edit an item, look at it and do a long-pinch gesture (Pinch your fingers and hold for a second.) This will bring up the option to edit an item.

If the system can't open the URL for the shorcut you created, it either means the URL is incorrect, or you may not have the app installed. If you have the app installed and the url came from our app database, please contact us at support@swiftfoxsoftware.com and let us know which app is not working.

Unfortunately not all apps support launch URLs, but there is a workaround to launch into any app:

  1. Open Shortcuts on Apple Vision Pro
  2. Tap + to create a new shortcut
  3. In the search bar, find “Open App” and tap on it to add it to your shortcut
  4. Tap on the “App” variable to bring up the app selector, and choose the app you wish to open
  5. Tap the menu button in the top left corner, then tap on Rename
  6. Name your shortcut something simple, with no spaces in the name
  7. Open AirLauncher and add a new launch item
  8. In the URL field, type this, replacing YourShortcutName with the exact name you typed in the previous step, including the same capitalization: shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=YourShortcutName
  9. Choose an icon and add a name to your AirLauncher item and save
  10. Your app shortcut should now be functional
    11. There are currently a small drawback - this will open the shortcuts app first, but unfortunately there is no way around this at the moment until Apple provides a way to close windows in the shortcuts app. You can get around this by leaving the shortcuts app open and just putting it behind you or somewhere not visible.
