- Header: the ArtCraft wordmark (white on dark, ink on light), "Launcher ·
Craft App Suite" and the tagline "Open Source Tools for Creatives,
Makers, and Builders"
- Tray / menu-bar icon is now the ArtCraft "A" mark, rendered unmodified
from docs/brand; the old self-drawn tray icons are gone
- Repo docs (NOTICE, ATTRIBUTION, README, asset licenses, AGENTS.md)
call out that the ArtCraft name, logo and mark are not MIT/Apache
- Table: "Inspired by" column; every column sorts both ways, empty cells
last; the grid's sort menu has the same options
- Adobe / Microsoft / Autodesk / Avid trademark notice under both views;
inspirations shown with ®
- Links: Discord button in the header; Website · GitHub · Discord in the
footer, tray menu and Settings; each card links to its app's website
(classic apps) and GitHub repo, and the … menu has both
- Fix links never opening: enable eframe's "links" feature
- Clear stale partial downloads at startup

A native Rust/egui launcher for the 12 Craft Apps (7 classic + 5 new).
- Grid (icon cards) or sortable table view, filters and search
- Status per app: available, installed and up to date, or update
available with version and release date
- Installs where each OS keeps apps, from the official release packages:
/Applications (DMG), Program Files (MSI), deb/rpm via the system
package manager (Flatpak/AppImage fallback), /usr/local on FreeBSD
- Detects apps installed by hand; updates keep the installed format
- Every download verified against its published SHA-256; running apps
are never replaced
- Tray/menu-bar mode, start at login, one notification per new version
- GitHub API with ETag cache, falling back to release pages when
rate-limited; release source is pluggable for a future catalog API
- Web build lists latest releases with per-platform downloads
- Packaging and release workflows for macOS, Windows (x64/x86/arm64),
Linux (x86_64/aarch64), FreeBSD and web
