Designed around your setup

Less repetition. More time in the game.

Bring the routine parts of your startup process together without adding a heavy platform or complicated account system.

Skip the setup grind every time

Launching can mean reopening several tools, restoring settings changed for other games, and clicking through the same setup every session. Save that routine in a reusable profile so you are ready faster—and far less likely to discover your head tracking was forgotten after launch.

Profile management

Keep different configurations organized and ready for the way you play.

Controller support

Make controller-related setup part of the same reliable startup flow.

External tool integration

Coordinate the companion tools your setup depends on from one place.

Lightweight and portable

Download the verified ZIP, extract it, and run Star-Launcher—no installer or background service required.

No account required

How it works

Prepare once. Launch your way.

Create a profile for the tools that make your setup work—head tracking, controller utilities, overlays, and other companion apps. Star-Launcher starts what you selected, places it where you want it, and gets you in the game.
