The app still seems to launch on Sierra - the CMD RERTURN shortcut works, but it doesn't show up in the menu. I haven't tested it yet though because I have Spotlight indexing disabled because of another issue so I can't tell for sure. But the app interface seems to open.

A total rip off! Doesn't even open. Bit ironical really; an app launcher that doesn't launch itself. Useless contacting support because Chronos doesn't have any. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE.

I got a $20 sale offer, and decided to try it. Honestly, it was amazingly quick at indexing 2100+ apps (about 3 seconds) and works quite well. I like the automatically associated documents and the multiple "mini-docks".
That said, it won't index anything on a drive that isn't the root-drive, or at least it won't for me. I have seldom (but not -never-) used apps moved off to a second drive. I added that into the program's search profile, but it simply never indexed it. I did a complete reset of the database and a few more things, but it simply won't take the other volume.
An indexer that won't index anything but the root drive isn't particularly useful, frankly. I did submit a support ticket. I don't expect them to respond, since i have several other tickets open, some for over a year, I believe, without response.
But I hope they'll at least read it, and issue version 5.1 with this glaring oversight fixed. Perhaps second drives are working for others, but certainly not for me.
Too bad, as there are some nice features here.

The application has too many bugs to continue using it, the most frustrating being that the application resets preferences after a shutdown. I tailored which apps I wanted to show in the launch window, but after a shutdown all apps are visible - including preferences, installers, etc.. Another issue is the application not working at times.
I've posted several trouble tickets to the developer's support page on this specific topic. There's been no response or action on the issue for nearly a year. I have removed LaunchMagic.
Ironically, F10 (which LaunchMagic replaced because the Developer stated it wasn't Mavericks compatible) works on my MacBook Air running Mavericks.
