I'm also bad at descriptions and synopses.  How about

(synopsis "Start applications from Emacs")
(description "This package allows starting applications from within
Emacs with the @lisp{app-launcher-run-app} command.  It supports
autocompletion.  It cannot be used to start arbitrary software; it
assumes that the application has a .desktop file.  This is the case
for most, but certainly not all, graphical software.")

?

‘Application’ in the synopsis is not really specific, but the
description explains what counts as ‘application’ to emacs-app-
launcher.

Greetings,
Maxime
