LaunchpadModern Package Management

Fast, isolated, and clean package management that works alongside your existing tools.

📦

Package Management

Install and manage packages with automatic environment isolation. Uses /usr/local (never /opt/homebrew) for clean separation from Homebrew.

🌍

Environment Isolation

Project-specific environments with automatic activation/deactivation. Each project gets its own isolated package installations and PATH management.

🔄

Executable Shims

Create lightweight executable scripts that automatically run the correct versions of your tools with full environment context.

🛠️

Pantry-Powered

Built on top of pkgx's Pantry for fast package installations.

🚀

Runtime Installation

Direct installation of development runtimes like Bun and Node.js from official sources with automatic platform detection.

🐚

Shell Integration

Seamless shell integration with customizable activation messages. Install shells like Zsh with automatic PATH management.

🌐

Cross-Platform

Works consistently across macOS, Linux, and Windows with platform-specific optimizations and path handling.

🔧

Environment Management

Comprehensive tools for listing, inspecting, cleaning, and managing development environments with human-readable identifiers.

🔗

Clean Coexistence

Peaceful coexistence with Homebrew, system package managers, and other tools. Never conflicts with existing installations.
