Org Launcher A Mac app for switching between Salesforce orgs
Open any org in your browser in one click. See recent metadata changes, compare two orgs, and jump straight to a component. No command line.
Beta 1.0.12 · 3.2 MB · macOS 14 or later · Apple Silicon and Intel
This is a beta, so macOS asks you to approve it once. How to install
A Mac app for Salesforce admins, developers, and consultants.
What it does
Get into an org
Launch in one click
Every Salesforce org you have authorized with the CLI, in one searchable list. Click Open and you are logged in, no password and no Terminal.
Open from Spotlight
Your orgs appear in Spotlight. Press Command-Space, type the alias, and the org opens logged in without switching to the app first.
Ready the moment you open it
Your org list is saved on your Mac, so nothing waits on a network call. Connections are re-checked in the background.
Query and export your data
Write SOQL with help
Type-ahead suggests objects, fields and related records as you go, and shows each field label and type next to the API name — so you can find Billing State/Province without knowing it is called BillingState.
Or skip SOQL entirely
Pick an object in the sidebar and click the fields you want. The query is written for you, including every custom field on the object.
Straight into a spreadsheet
Copy pastes into Excel or Google Sheets as columns, and you can export to CSV or a real Excel file. Record ids stay as text instead of being turned into scientific notation.
Extracts of any size
No row limit. Rows appear as they arrive, a Stop button ends a long pull and keeps everything already loaded, and a filter box searches what you have without going back to Salesforce.
Keep the queries that work
Every query you run is kept in History, and the ones worth keeping can be saved by name and re-run against any org.
Know what is happening
Storage and API limits
See data storage, file storage and daily API usage for any org. Cards warn you at 80 percent, an At Risk group collects every org that is close, and orgs past their allowance say how far over they are.
Know your release date
Every card shows the next Salesforce release and the day it reaches that org. Salesforce upgrades instances in waves, so two orgs on the same release can be a month apart.
Outages at a glance
Instance badges turn amber or red when Salesforce reports an incident, with maintenance and release windows a click away.
Who changed what in Setup
Read an org Setup Audit Trail without logging in. Filter by person, period or text, and export it to CSV. Automated entries are hidden so real changes stand out.
Track metadata changes
See what changed
Scan an org for recently changed metadata. Filter by the person who changed it, a date range, or a name search.
Compare two orgs
Pull the same components from two orgs and see, file by file, exactly what is different.
Extract to Downloads
Save any selection of components as source files, ready to review or move to another org.
Jump to the component
Go straight from a change in the list to that component inside Salesforce.
Keep your org list clean
Catch expiring scratch orgs
Scratch orgs and trials show how long they have left, turning amber inside a week and red once they are gone, so a dead org never looks like a working one.
Clear out stale logins
Remove the logins that no longer work, in bulk. You review the full list first, keep any you want, and confirm by typing the count. Nothing in Salesforce is deleted.
Find what changed, and who changed it
Scan an org for recent metadata changes, then narrow the list by person, date range, or a wildcard name search. Extract what you find, or compare it against another org.
Installing the beta
This is a pre-release build, so macOS asks you to approve it the first time. That is expected and takes about 30 seconds. You only do it once.
- Open the download and drag Org Launcher to your Applications folder.
-
Open Applications and double-click Org Launcher.
macOS shows a message saying it cannot verify the developer, with only a Done button. That is normal for a beta. Click Done. -
Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security.
Scroll down to the Security section. You will see “Org Launcher was blocked to protect your Mac.” Click Open Anyway and confirm with Touch ID or your password. - Org Launcher opens. After this first approval it opens normally, like any other app.
On macOS 15 and later, right-clicking the app and choosing Open no longer works. Use the System Settings steps above.
Once the final release is signed by Apple, it will install with no approval step at all.
What you need
- A Mac running macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. Apple Silicon and Intel are both supported.
- The free Salesforce CLI. Org Launcher tells you if it is missing and links you to the installer.
Getting started
- Drag Org Launcher to your Applications folder and open it.
- Your orgs appear automatically. If the list is empty, click the + button to connect one.
- Click Open on any org to launch it in your browser.
- Right-click an org for more: open Setup, copy a login link, review recent changes, or compare it with another org.
Your credentials stay on your Mac
Org Launcher never stores your Salesforce passwords or access tokens. It uses the connections you have already authorized with the Salesforce CLI, and everything it reads stays on your computer. The only thing it sends us is +1 to the launch counter below — no identifier, no account, no IP address logged — and you can switch that off in Settings. Read the privacy policy.
Tell me when the final version ships
The beta above works today. Leave your details and we will let you know when the final release is out, so you can install it without the approval step.
We only use your details to tell you about Org Launcher. No newsletters, and we never share them.
Common questions
How do I see how much storage a Salesforce org is using?
Right-click the org in Org Launcher and choose Storage & Limits. It reads data storage, file storage, daily API calls and every other limit Salesforce reports, and shows how much of each is used. You can also check every connected org at once, and the At Risk group lists any org at 80 percent or more.
When will my Salesforce org get the next release?
Every org card shows the next seasonal release and the date it reaches that org. Salesforce upgrades instances in waves over several weeks, so two orgs on the same release can be a month apart. The sidebar groups your orgs by wave so you can see which ones go first.
How can I see who changed something in Salesforce Setup?
Open the Setup Audit Trail for that org from the right-click menu. It shows who changed what and when, filtered by person, period or text, and exports to CSV. Entries Salesforce logs as Automated Process are hidden by default so real changes are easy to see.
Can I query Salesforce records and export them to Excel?
Yes. Open Query Records on any connected org, write SOQL with type-ahead help or build it by clicking fields, and export the results to Excel or CSV. Copy also pastes straight into a spreadsheet as columns. Record ids stay as text rather than being turned into scientific notation, which is what happens when a CSV of ids is opened in Excel.
Can it download a large Salesforce table?
Yes, there is no row limit. Rows appear as they arrive rather than after the whole extract finishes, a Stop button ends a long pull and keeps everything already loaded, and a filter box searches the rows you have without querying Salesforce again.
Do I need the Salesforce CLI?
Yes. Org Launcher works with the orgs you have already authorized in the Salesforce CLI (sf). It does not store passwords or tokens of its own — logging in happens in the CLI and your browser, exactly as it does today.
Is Org Launcher free?
Yes, it is free to download and use. It runs on macOS 14 or later and works on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Can I open a Salesforce org without opening the app first?
Yes. Org Launcher adds your orgs to Spotlight, so pressing Command-Space and typing the alias opens the org logged in. You can switch that off in Settings.
