## Project history and usage

Keychron Assistant is a companion application that enables Keychron Launcher's Quick Start feature to launch local applications and web pages from keyboard shortcuts.

### Project history

Keychron Assistant was introduced as a supplementary component of Keychron Launcher rather than as a standalone keyboard configurator. Official documentation centers it on the Launcher's Quick Start feature.

### Adoption history

Keychron distributes Assistant for macOS and Windows as a required companion when customers enable Quick Start in the web-based Keychron Launcher.

### How it is used

Connect a supported Keychron device in Launcher, enable Quick Start, install Assistant, and assign keys to open selected desktop applications or web pages. Applications absent from Launcher's basket can be added manually through Assistant.

### Why package nerds care

The package is an example of a small native bridge installed to extend a browser-based hardware configurator with operating-system actions that a web application cannot perform alone.

### Timeline

- Current product generation: Keychron documents Assistant as a prerequisite for Launcher Quick Start.

### Related projects

- Keychron Launcher is the browser-based configuration application that exposes Quick Start and directs users to install Assistant.
