Drawn at this width and never stretched past it. Below it, controls, text and spacing step down from the box the block sits in, not the window.
When to use it
Where Command Menus earns its place
Reach for Command Menus
- The app has more destinations and actions than a sidebar can hold
- People are in the product daily and want to keep their hands on the keyboard
- One query has to span kinds: files, people, settings and actions together
- You need a jump-back-in surface showing the last things touched before anything is typed
Reach for something else
- First-run or occasional users: a menu that must be summoned teaches nothing, so ship visible navigation and let this sit on top of it
- One list of one kind is being narrowed: a search field over that list does it without adding a layer
- Picking a value for a field: a combobox keeps the choice next to the thing it fills

What the block ships with. Hold on to these as you make it yours.
- Named controlsEvery icon-only button keeps a text label, so a screen reader can say what it does.
- Keyboard firstEvery control is reachable with Tab, and its focus ring stays visible.
- More than colourA state never rides on colour alone; a mark or a word goes with it.
- Contrast holdsRetheme freely, but keep text at or above the contrast it ships with.
- Calm motionFor visitors who ask for reduced motion, things simply appear.
- Room to hitTargets stay at least 24px, with space between neighbours.

Questions about Apps, launcher.
What is the Apps, launcher block?
Apps, launcher is a Command Menus block from Orvain UI, built for React and Vue with a matching Figma frame. Best for integration pickers and app launchers.
What is the Apps, launcher block made of?
5 parts: modal palette; 48px app tiles four across (three on a narrow card); connected and Add an app groups; typing reflows the grid; and enter opens or connects with a ring, a tick and Undo. Keep them all, or drop the ones your product does not need; the rest of the block holds together without them.
Is the Apps, launcher block responsive?
Yes. It is drawn at 640px and never stretched past that. Below it, its controls, text and spacing step down with the container the block sits in rather than the browser window, so it holds up in a sidebar, a tablet layout and a 390px phone without clipping or sideways scrolling.
Is the Apps, launcher block accessible?
It ships with text labels on every icon-only button, full keyboard reach with a visible focus ring, states that never rely on colour alone, text contrast that holds when you retheme it, no animation for visitors who ask for reduced motion, and click targets of at least 24px.
How do I add the Apps, launcher block to my project?
It is part of every Orvain Library plan: the React and Vue code, its frame in the Orvain Figma file, and the Orvain MCP server. With the MCP connected, an AI assistant such as Claude Code, Cursor or v0 can build it from one line: “Add the Orvain Apps, launcher block to this page.”
When should I not use a Command Menus block?
First-run or occasional users: a menu that must be summoned teaches nothing, so ship visible navigation and let this sit on top of it.
