Pieoneer — [

Pieoneer is the app that totally surprised me. It’s not a cluttery launcher—it pops up at your cursor with a shortcut and can act as an app switcher, a launcher, or even context-aware actions depending on what app you’re in.

Pros

+Cursor-based launcher/switcher that appears only when needed
+Can show only open apps or launch apps/files/folders
+Context-aware actions (example: Finder actions like trash or AirDrop)

Cons

-$15 one-time purchase is a bit pricey
-Takes time to set up and customize well
