Magic Launch
Magic Launch is a preference pane (system extension) for macOS System Settings that provides application launching and shortcut management features. It integrates with the macOS system preferences to allow users to configure custom keyboard shortcuts, application launch behavior, and related system-level launching preferences. The preference pane sits within System Settings rather than functioning as a standalone application.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionMagic Launch is a System Preferences pane distributed by Metakine — it is not a standalone app and cannot be updated separately through the App Store or a generic download. To check whether a native Apple Silicon build is available, visit Metakine's website directly and look for an updated version of Magic Launch that supports Apple Silicon. If Metakine offers an installer, download and run it to replace your current System Preferences pane with a native build. If the vendor's site appears abandoned or provides no native build information, contact Metakine support to confirm whether native Apple Silicon support is planned. Given that we are in May 2026 with just over two years until Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), it is worth confirming support status soon — an Intel-only preference pane will stop loading on that release.
