Alternatives to Launchbar?


Recommended Posts

Title says it all really. I like Launchbar a lot, and I'd like to get a licence for it, but I was wondering if there were any better alternatives around before I do.

At the moment I really only use it for starting apps as an alternative to having to flip to the Finder and wait for it to run a search, double click the icon, etc. It's very nice :)

I heard Dragthing was good, but it looks like more of a dock replacement to me and that's not quite what I'm after. I just want something that will let me start up any app / location / document (although I haven't figured out how to get LB to hotkey documents yet :) I want with the stroke of a couple of keys.

So yeah.. what's your favourite file launcher for OS X? :x

I use Another Launcher too. I really like it. Coming from the Windows world... I use it as my "Start" menu. I like to categorize my apps in group so it's perfect. and it does so much more. I really like the custome search shortcuts... works to search on anything... IMDB, Google, whois etc... :)

Another Launcher is cool, but I prefer Launch Bar, it is one of the very few programs I have registered. It is just one of those apps that is almost perfect and bug free :p

I believe Another Launcher is a good alternative. I also believe that it's donationware. Try it out. Search for it on MacUpdate.

Besides Adium, this app is one of my favorite apps :)
