Multiple specialized tools mean multiple installers, shortcuts, and forgotten locations. VCT Launcher solves this: one desktop hub for all VibeCoded Tools.
It's free, always. Available now.
What It Does
VCT Launcher is a lightweight Tauri 2 + Svelte 5 + TypeScript desktop app. It:
- Register and switch between projects - the launcher is a multi-project manager for your orchestrator setups
- Browse the full VibeCoded Tools catalog in one place
- Download and install tools and paid modules - licensed artifacts are pulled from a signed server and extracted into your project venv (no cloning of private repos)
- Launch tools directly from the launcher interface
- Manage MCP server lifecycles - starts and stops Weaviate, Ollama, and the rest via podman-compose
- Per-project secret vault - API keys live under
~/.vct-secrets/projects/<name>/with chmod 600 and never land in.envor committed files - Hub API on 127.0.0.1:7700 (Axum) for inter-app messaging between installed tools
Think Steam for developer tools, not games. The Launcher is open source, like the base Orchestrator.
Why Tauri 2?
Tauri 2 gives:
- Small binary — under 10MB, no bundled Chromium
- Native performance — system WebView, not Electron overhead
- Cross-platform — Windows, macOS, Linux from one codebase
- Secure by default — permission model restricts web layer access (matters for license keys and downloads)

License Management
Buy a license, enter the key in launcher, it downloads the signed artifact, verifies it, extracts to project venv. License and API keys live in ~/.vct-secrets/projects/<name>/ (chmod 600), never in .env or git.
Reinstall on another machine? Re-enter keys, modules re-fetch. Done.
Auto-Updates
Launcher checks for updates on startup and notifies you. You decide when; nothing installs silently. Delta downloads mean fast updates even on slow connections.
