In gist, the application will allow users to launch a specific file, application and website on the users preferred time and date. Although the application is smart enough to launch specific functions on the appointed date and time, the application will run smoothly in the background.

This feature of the application is common among launchers. But what makes this application different is that Rocket Launcher allows further customization. Users should be able to add small but significant arguments in the application. This means more options for users who wanted more functions from the scheduler. This is very useful for opening websites or interacting with select applications. Although this feature might require some familiarity with the application since it uses unique commands, this option can be used in no time.

What makes the application run efficiently in the background is that it uses unique commands instead of standard shortcuts which will require additional processing power to the local gadget. The interface is also very straightforward. It consists mainly of the text area where users can indicate which functions should be launched at the specific time and date. Additional arguments can be added after the main command in the application. Users can easily clear the tasks by simply hitting the “Clear All” button at the bottom of the application.
