#ALFRED OR LAUNCHBAR SERIES#
The series is about a traumatized, mentally ill dog named Alfred Alfer, who tries to forget about his abusive childhood by imagining himself in a happy fantasy world. Launchbar has been the reigning King since it took crown from Quicksilver. Alfred's Playhouse is one of the most surreal and disturbing web video series on the internet. What I can report about Alfred is that it works without fuss. It was a nicety, but I can live without it. While that was neat, I didn’t use it so often that I desperate miss it. It also doesn’t have the instant-send feature of Launchbar. I see in the preferences that you can include these in the default search, but the app includes text that seems to be warning me off doing that. But basically Alfred can do most of what LaunchBar can do. The section on Browsing Hook Bookmarks is most relevant. Later, we will provide documentation specifically for Alfred, for now you can consult our LaunchBar documentation. Instead I have to type a space to enter into file search mode. This workflow requires Hook 1.5 or newer. My main frustration is that it doesn’t seem to automatically include files and folders in the default search when the trigger keys are depressed.

It’s different - and I’ve had to tweak a few settings to align with my view as to how an app launcher should work - but it’s working. over the last couple of weeks we have been testing several launch helpers (e.g. So I threw my years of muscle memory in the bin, and I’m working with Alfred from this point forward. Now, I couldn’t even rely on it being an efficient system application. The developer was showing it no love - no blog posts, no forums or user community, and its attempt to copy the Alfred ‘workflows’ feature had fallen flatter than a pancake. For the last few years it had seen very little development.
I went to the website of Alfred, downloaded the app and purchased the Powerpack immediately.Īfter perhaps a decade(?) of daily use I was over Launchbar. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. But Quicksilver was not the first.Ī few days ago I noticed that Launchbar was consuming excessive CPU cycles on my iMac. In my usage, Quicksilver was the first King - it was my gateway drug to this application category.
I imply below that Quicksilver predated Launchbar when in fact Launchbar is the oldest of the crop. John, a kind reader of this blog emailed me to correct the record regarding the age of these apps. Decemat 7:37pm The King Is Dead Long Live the King
