Command Palette is the go-to launcher for Windows power users — a fast, extensible interface for launching apps, running commands, and getting things done. With the Command Palette extension platform, you can build tools that plug directly into that workflow — putting your ideas right where people are already working.

Whether you want to build something for yourself, share it with the community, or distribute it to your team, the platform is designed to get you from idea to working extension quickly.
The Extension Gallery is a curated directory of Command Palette extensions that users can browse directly from within Command Palette settings. Listing your extension in the Gallery makes it discoverable to all Command Palette users — they can see your extension's description, screenshots, and install it with a single click.

Instead, it links to your extension's install source — whether that's [WinGet](publish-extension-winget.md), the [Microsoft Store](publish-extension-store.md), or a direct download URL (such as a GitHub Releases page). When a user installs your extension from the Gallery, Command Palette uses the install source you specified.
