RK Launcher

RK Launcher is a multi-platform application launcher. The application is minimalist by design and it takes a lot from the dock that you see on most Mac OS X machines, which is a great dock, by the way. RK Launcher isn't precisely an application launcher like the ones I am used to see. RK Launcher will install a dock on the side of your screen.
