Launcher Wiki

Launcher is an application and firmware launcher for ESP32-based devices, including M5Stack, LilyGo, CYD, Marauder-style boards, Elecrow boards, AWOK boards, headless ESP32 builds, and other supported targets. This wiki reflects the current 2.7.0 release.

It is designed to stay on the device and make firmware switching practical without reconnecting to a computer every time. From Launcher you can install firmware from an SD card, from the online catalog, from a direct URL, or from the WebUI. Recent releases also support multiple installed apps, dynamic partition management, USB mass storage on supported devices, and WebUI editing for files and NVS values.
