Barely dispensable for my workflow and my favorite app, In my opinion, the superior app to Quicksilver. LaunchBar is fast, integrates perfectly with all other apps and let's you manipulate nearly anything. Definite recommendation.
While I'm sure LaunchBar is valuable to a lot of people, it doesn't seem to offer the user-experience I expect while on a Mac. On my work PC, running 2000, I would love to have something like this, fast, dry, sterile, to avoid taking my hands from the keyboard, but it just doesn't seem to fit in with the style, atmosphere and workflow on my Macs.
I'll give it another go.
One of the, if not the best productivity application available on OSX. I really would be lost without Launchbar. Frequently when using other peoples machines, I am stabbing at the keyboard shortcut and wondering how anybody could possibly do without it!
This utility acts as a keyboard-launcher, search tool and contact finder. This has reduced my reliance on the mouse markedly, and my palm and wrist are grateful.
I barely ever use the doc since I installed Launchbar, love the scripting capabilities of it as well!
I tried quicksilver, but in my opinion it doesn't compare to LaunchBar
Just switched back from quicksilver to launchbar. Very happy
It's also indispensable to quickly retrieve some contact information from the Address Book!
LaunchBar is extremely usefull for those type of users that like to use the keyboard instead of the mouse. It's an App for the Mac that I install, right after the installation of my OS. It really increases my productivity.
