Features

Icon grid: Every app in Start → All apps, desktop and Store apps, as a grid of icons in A–Z sections. Filter by All, Desktop or Store.
Search: Just start typing, or press Ctrl+F. Esc clears, F5 refreshes.
Details: Double-click an app for its path, version, publisher, install date, size, uninstall command and package info. Click any line to copy it.
Actions: Open, open file location, or add a desktop shortcut, for one app or a multi-selection (Ctrl or Shift).
Shortcuts done right: Copies the original Start menu shortcut when there is one, otherwise links to the app the same way dragging it from Start does. Existing shortcuts are never overwritten.
Light and dark: Follows the Windows theme, or pick light or dark yourself.
Settings: Apps per row, icon size, A–Z sections, start with Windows, and minimize or close to the tray. The window size and position are remembered too.

Windows: Download AppShelf.exe and run it. It uses .NET Framework 4.x, which comes with Windows 10 and 11. Settings are kept in %APPDATA%\AppShelf.
