[New Feature Request] Add “Recently Launched Apps” to Home Page / History Page

[Shawnkurt]

First of all, thank you for building and maintaining Flow Launcher — it’s an excellent tool and part of my daily workflow.

I’d like to suggest an enhancement to the Home / History Page.

Currently, when opening Flow Launcher with Home / History enabled, it shows a list of available commands / command history entries. This is useful, but I believe it could be significantly improved by also displaying recently launched applications, similar to how Ulauncher handles its default view.

I’ve attached a mockup based on Ulauncher’s behavior for illustration. I believe this feature would reduce friction significantly in daily usage.

Thank you!

Hi. This feature exists. Turn on Home Page in the main settings then Show History Results and choose how many to show. Thanks

HI @Shawnkurt

While not exactly the same since it includes some non app results, this setting should give something closer to what you want

Which will give you something like this on your home page:

However this is a feature from PR #4042 which hasnt yet being added to the current release version, as far as I can tell the target is the next one, version 2.2.0

You can try out the prereleases if you want features earlier

Thank you very much for your thorough reply, this looks exactly like what I have proposed. So sorry that I didn't see the PR you mentioned earlier. Much appreciated!
