This past July, Google released a Chrome app launcher for Windows. Today Mac users can finally get in on the fun. The Chrome app launcher allows you to open your favorite Google apps like Gmail and Drive right from your dock.
Using the app launcher is simple. Click on the dock icon and a popup menu opens showing the apps you currently have installed. Each app will open in its own window outside of Chrome, just like any normal desktop program.
Apps are streamlined for use, meaning you're free from normal tabs, buttons and text boxes that might normally distract you from your work. They're also connected to the cloud, silently updating themselves and your work without the hassles of hitting save. Your apps are also synced across your devices, allowing you to pick up your work regardless of where you last left off.
You enable the app launcher by copying and paste Chrome://flags into the URL of your browser and enabling "App Launcher OSX App Bundle." Look towards the end of the page for the extension.
Head over to Google's blog for more information, or start looking for apps at the Chrome launcher site if you're ready to get launching now.
