Xkey Launcher
Auto-detect your Xkey Air MIDI keyboard and launch your DAW instantly. Never miss a moment of inspiration.
Built for Musicians
As a musician and developer, I know the frustration of that moment when inspiration strikes. You grab your Xkey Air, power it on, and then... wait. You have to manually open your DAW, create a new project, and configure your MIDI routing. By the time everything's ready, the musical idea has faded.
Xkey Launcher solves this. The moment your keyboard connects, your DAW launches automatically. Start playing immediately. Capture inspiration before it disappears.
How It Works
Configure Your Keyboard
Tell Xkey Launcher which app to open when your specific Xkey keyboard connects. You can configure multiple keyboards with different apps.
Turn On Your Keyboard
Power on your Xkey Air and connect via Bluetooth or USB. Xkey Launcher detects it instantly.
Start Creating
Your configured DAW launches automatically. Start playing immediately. No manual steps required.

Why Xkey Air?
The Xkey Air is an incredible portable MIDI keyboard. Ultra-thin, wireless, and pressure-sensitive, it's perfect for musicians on the go.
But connecting it and launching your DAW manually breaks the creative flow. Xkey Launcher removes that friction, letting you focus on making music instead of managing your setup.
