An app launcher for Windows that dials your programs like the SG-1 gate. Type a program name, press Enter, seven chevrons lock, and it opens.
Download StargateCommand-Setup-1.0.0.exe below. Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Nothing else to install.
Windows will warn you. It is not code-signed, so you get a blue "Windows protected your PC" box. Click More info, then Run anyway. A signing certificate costs a few hundred dollars a year and this is a hobby project. If you would rather not trust a stranger's binary, the source is right here and builds with npm install && npm run dist.
Verify the download if you like:

It reads your Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts to build the program list and pulls each program's icon. That is all it touches. It makes no network connections at all. Settings live in %APPDATA%\Stargate Command.
Press I for the iris. With it shut the gate dials perfectly but nothing comes through, so nothing launches. That is not a bug.
