The Ape Apps Launcher is available for free on the Ape Market for Windows (7/8/10 32 or 64 bit), macOS, and Linux. You can find the download page here:

What is the Ape Apps Launcher?
The Ape Apps Launcher serves several purposes. First, it makes it easier to download and install all Ape Apps desktop applications. Everything is contained and can be launched from a single application, and there is only one main program to download from the Ape Market website. After the initial download, everything is automatically managed and updated from the Launcher, so basically once you download the Ape Apps Launcher, it should be the last manual download from the Ape Market that you need to make.
Since resources are shared between apps, individual game download sizes are greatly reduced. As an example, My Colony downloaded from the Ape Market by itself clocks in at about 180mb. Through the Ape Launcher, the download is only 10mb. That is a massive reduction, and makes updating faster for the user and less bandwidth intensive for the Ape Apps server.
Finally, from my perspective, the Ape Apps Launcher is infinitely easier to maintain and support. Packaging and distributing desktop applications for all of my apps and games is a time intensive process. Because of this, I often don't keep the Desktop versions of my games up to date with the Web and Mobile versions, especially on titles with lower usage. The Ape Apps Launcher solves this by automatically packaging and installing each app based on the latest stable Web code (not in-development code). Your desktop apps will always be up to date, even if an individual package has not been distributed on the Ape Market.
The Ape Apps Launcher is still new, and more features will be added along the way. Please use this new forum section for questions and feedback, and to give suggestions on how the launcher can be expanded and improved. Ideally, I would like the launcher to replace all of the stand-alone Desktop applications, as they really do take quite a bit of time to prepare, package, and distribute. Time which can be better served working on the actual games themselves! But that will all depend on user feedback and adoption. I'm not going to force people to use something they do not like, so give it a try and let me know how I can make it better and what direction the development should take!

Looks good for a start. Had to close it after install and reopen it so that the market side would show up.
Was it supposed to check for already installed games?
Suggestion - Using it allows a single sign in for all the games as it would probably be running most of the time anyway and it will cut down on how many times people have to sign in (especially if an app 'forgets' it was signed in).

No issues installing it on Linux Mint 18.3 64-bit. Works great so far. I do like @misteddawn's single sign in suggestion.
I have the premium version of My Colony downloaded separately from the launcher. Will this premium version transfer over if i use the same ape apps account?

Yes.
Im on Ubuntu 18.04 and the last 2 updates when i try to update from the launcher it just deletes the files but does not actually update them. I have had to download the new launcher files from the website to replace the ones deleted. Not a big issue for me just wanted to let you know.
