|
Desktop app (Go + Fyne) that creates application shortcuts on Linux in a few clicks:
|
|
from an executable file, or from a web URL as a PWA. Ships as a single-file
|
|
AppImage, no terminal needed.
|
|
|
|
*Dream-sky theme: night violet, dusk pink and a moon-coloured accent that subtly
|
|
breathes while the app is open (the koala in `assets/logo.svg` is the mascot).*

|
|
|
- **Repo:** <https://github.com/oxpoe/lazyrun>
|
|
- **Donate:** <https://donasi.oxpoe.qzz.io/>
|
|
|
|
- **Executable shortcut** — picks an ELF/AppImage/script/Windows `.exe`, copies it to
|
|
`~/.local/bin/`, installs the icon, writes the `.desktop` entry.
|
|
- **Automatic type label** — every shortcut is tagged with what it actually is,
|
|
detected from the file: `Go`, `AppImage`, `Electron`, `Script`, `Windows`, `Binary`
|
|
(`.exe` files are launched through `wine`), or `PWA` for web apps.
|
|
- **Web app shortcut** — opens the URL as an app: `--app=<url>` for
|
|
Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Chromium, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi, Helium,
|
|
including Flatpak builds), `--new-window` for Firefox.
|
|
- **Icons** — pick a file, or search in the *Icon from the internet* dialog:
|
|
- **app name** (`whatsapp`) → search of the [Iconify](https://iconify.design) icon library;
|
|
- **website** (`mikrotik.com`) → the site's own icons: web app manifest (up to
|
|
512 px), apple-touch-icon, favicon, plus a favicon service. Best option for apps
|
|
that have no icon in icon libraries (e.g. Winbox → `mikrotik.com`);
|
|
- **image URL** (`https://…/icon.png`) → that image directly.
|
|
Installation also tries automatically: a nearby image file, the site's icons, then a
|
|
brand icon matched by name. Every icon is converted to PNG (SVG, webp, gif, bmp,
|
|
ico and jpeg included) at up to 512 px, and remembers its source so the *sync icon*
|
|
button in the list can fetch it again later.
|
|
- **Shortcut location** — checkbox for *Application menu* and/or *Desktop*,
|
|
at least one is required. Desktop-only entries are written with
|
|
`NoDisplay=true` so they do not show up in the menu.
|
|
- **Manage** — list installed shortcuts, see where they live, mark entries whose
|
|
`.desktop` file was deleted manually, uninstall (optionally removing the
|
|
copied binary).
|
|
- **Auto refresh** — calls `update-desktop-database` and
|
|
`kbuildsycoca6`/`kbuildsycoca5` after install/uninstall.
|
|
- **i18n** — UI in English or Indonesian, chosen from `$LANG`.
|
|
- **Self update** — AppImage with embedded zsync update information, optional
|
|
`AppImageUpdate` integration via *Check for Updates*.
|
|
- **Desktop integration** — uses the host cursor theme (KDE/GNOME setting is
|
|
forwarded to the toolkit when the session does not export it), live desktop
|
|
menu refresh via `update-desktop-database` and `kbuildsycoca`.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Needs a desktop Linux with the usual GL/X11 or Wayland libraries (any KDE Plasma or
|
|
GNOME install has them). No root, nothing outside your home directory.
|
|
|
|
Download the AppImage from [Releases](https://github.com/oxpoe/lazyrun/releases), then:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod +x lazyrun-*-x86_64.AppImage
|
|
./lazyrun-*-x86_64.AppImage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Keep it wherever you like (for example `~/.local/bin/`). Automatic updates need
|
|
[AppImageUpdate](https://github.com/AppImageCommunity/AppImageUpdate) in `$PATH`.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
1. **+ Executable** or **+ Web App**.
|
|
2. Fill in the form (name and icon are pre-filled/auto-detected).
|
|
3. Pick *Application menu* and/or *Desktop*, then **Install**.
|
|
|
|
## What it writes
|
|
|
|
| Purpose | Path |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Copied binary | `~/.local/bin/<name>` |
|
|
| Icon (always PNG) | `~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/512x512/apps/<name>.png` |
|
|
| Menu entry (source of truth) | `~/.local/share/applications/<name>.desktop` |
|
|
| Desktop copy | `~/Desktop/<name>.desktop` (from `xdg-user-dir DESKTOP`) |
|
|
| LazyRun metadata | `~/.config/lazyrun/shortcuts.json` |
|
|
|
|
Everything stays inside the home directory — no root, no system directories.
|
|
|
|
The UI follows your system light/dark setting:
|
|
|
|
<p align="center">
|
|
<img src="docs/main-light.png" width="520" alt="LazyRun in light theme">
|
|
</p>
|
|
Filenames use a slug of the app name (`WhatsApp Web` → `whatsapp-web.desktop`);
|
|
the `Name=` field keeps the name you typed.
|
|
|
|
## Updates
|
|
|
|
LazyRun checks the **latest release** of this repository once, a few seconds after
|
|
start (only when running as an AppImage) and offers to install it:
|
|
|
|
- if [AppImageUpdate](https://github.com/AppImageCommunity/AppImageUpdate) is in
|
|
`$PATH` it is used, so only the changed blocks are downloaded (zsync);
|
|
- otherwise the AppImage is downloaded, verified (ELF + AppImage magic bytes) and
|
|
swapped in atomically — if anything fails the current AppImage stays untouched;
|
|
- *Restart now* in the dialog runs the new version.
|
|
|
|
*Check for Updates* in the footer runs the same flow manually.
|
|
|
|
**Publishing a release** is just a tag — GitHub Actions builds and uploads
|
|
everything (`.github/workflows/release.yml`):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git tag v1.1.0 && git push --tags
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The workflow builds the AppImage with the version taken from the tag, runs the
|
|
tests, and publishes a release with the `.AppImage` + `.zsync` assets and
|
|
auto-generated notes. To build a release locally instead:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
VERSION=1.1.0 GH_USER=oxpoe GH_REPO=lazyrun ./build.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
Requirements: Go 1.24+, cgo, and X11/OpenGL development headers (Fyne).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./build.sh # dist/lazyrun + dist/lazyrun-<version>-<arch>.AppImage
|
|
SKIP_APPIMAGE=1 ./build.sh # binary only
|
|
go test ./... # unit + install/uninstall tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`build.sh` downloads `linuxdeploy` into `dist/tools/` on first run and needs
|
|
network for the AppImage step. To embed zsync update information, set
|
|
`GH_USER` and `GH_REPO`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
GH_USER=oxpoe GH_REPO=lazyrun ./build.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
- Edit existing shortcuts, detect binaries in `$PATH`, optional symlink instead of a
|
|
Desktop copy, import/export, dark mode.
|
|
- Firefox PWA via `--kiosk`, Flatpak/Snap targets, icon preview.
|
|
|
|
Known limitations are tracked as [issues](https://github.com/oxpoe/lazyrun/issues);
|
|
the main ones:
|
|
|
|
- the type label (`Go`, `Electron`, …) is detected when the shortcut is created, so a
|
|
binary replaced by hand keeps its old label until it is reinstalled;
|
|
- the update check runs while the app is open (startup + every 4 hours), there is no
|
|
background service, and updates are offered, never forced;
|
|
- online icon search uses Iconify plus the icons a website itself provides
|
|
(manifest / touch icon / favicon) — there is no image-search scraping;
|
|
- `Electron` detection uses the `resources/*.asar` marker, so Chromium-based apps
|
|
(Vivaldi, Helium, …) show up as `Binary`.
|
|
|
|
## Disclaimer / Catatan
|
|
|
|
**EN** — LazyRun is a small hobby project by **oxpoe**, made for fun and to make
|
|
daily Linux desktop life a bit simpler: turn a portable binary or a web page
|
|
into a proper application shortcut without opening a terminal. It only writes
|
|
inside your home directory, but it does copy files and create launchers: check
|
|
what you point it at, keep backups of anything irreplaceable, and use it at your
|
|
own risk. Provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. LazyRun is not
|
|
affiliated with any browser vendor or application it creates shortcuts for.
|
|
|
|
**ID** — LazyRun adalah proyek iseng **oxpoe**, dibuat untuk senang-senang dan
|
|
supaya urusan shortcut di desktop Linux jadi lebih simpel: binary portable atau
|
|
halaman web bisa jadi shortcut aplikasi tanpa buka terminal. Aplikasi ini hanya
|
|
menulis di dalam home directory, tetapi tetap menyalin file dan membuat
|
|
launcher: periksa dulu apa yang kamu pilih, backup data penting, dan gunakan
|
|
dengan risiko sendiri. Disediakan "apa adanya", tanpa jaminan apa pun. LazyRun
|
|
tidak berafiliasi dengan vendor browser atau aplikasi apa pun yang dibuatkan
|
|
shortcut-nya.
