Publisher's Description
From Wired Up And Fired Up:
Relaunch saves you time by taking Snapshots of which applications you are using, and starts them back up for you. Think of it as a launcher on steroids that lets you switch between work contexts with one click.
It's smart too! As well as starting groups of applications it also knows which documents you were working on in 30 popular applications and loads those up for you as well.
Relaunch sits in the Mac menu bar so it's always there - you can save and launch Snapshots on demand but Relaunch also features a ridiculously simple to use Auto-Snapshot mode. This sits in the background, periodically remembering what you have open. Should you need to reboot or suffer a power outage Relaunch will offer the option to start everything back up for you when you next login.
What's new in this version: Relaunch 1.3.9 adds Japanese Localisation and Leopard compatibility.

"DOES NOT WORK!"
Version: Relaunch 1.3.9
Pros
The theory is great, and I'd pay dearly for an app that works.
Cons
It doesn't do automatic saves and doesn't work on relaunch. A complete failure.
Summary
This application (Relauncher 1.3.9) does NOT WORK. It does not do automatic saves as promised (and specified in Preferences), and when I tried it, it only restored Safari documents.
Oops..I referred to it as Relauncher, not Relaunch.
It did NOT save any open Pages documents, the primary reason I installed it.
Irritatingly, it stuck all at the Safari windows at the top of the screen, not with some of them minimized, as would have properly happened had I simply used ?reopen all windows from last session? in Safari?s own menu after a restart.
This application should be REMOVED from all sites unless or until the developer can make it work properly. (I should add that the developer?s website is embarrassingly amateurish, with its wiki FAQ link a 404 not found.)
Updated on Sep 11, 2010
As an addendum, I should note that an app that merely relaunches apps is hardly worthwhile IMHO.
What is needed is being able to reopen all the documents for a given app. (I typically have 6 or 8 Pages docs open all the time.) Apple mail does this automatically. Why can't Pages? And why can't Safari, when Firefox has this ability?
