Quicksilver: Excellent multi-application launcher
Quicksilver is a handy app and folder launcher that has quickly become one of the essential applications on Mac. For those not familiar with Quicksilver, it's an application that lets you reach any program, folder, or file in a few keystrokes. You don't have to go searching through your files or worry about how your folders are arranged. Quicksilver was a godsend in the pre-Spotlight Mac era and remains an excellent Mac application.
The search function in Quicksilver is very quick and powerful. Once you've found what you're looking for, you can apply a number of actions like launching it, emailing it, or moving it. Quicksilver adapts to the file it finds, allowing you to modify, send, or copy it. Users also appreciate that the application learns from what you search for or use most.
Quicksilver's large library of plugins is one of its standout features. It includes everything from dialing a phone number to interacting with iTunes or image and text manipulation. This customization allows you to tailor the application to your specific needs.
However, Quicksilver does have stability issues and is known to crash occasionally. Despite this drawback, Quicksilver remains an incredibly intuitive and powerful multi-application launcher for Mac, recommended for productivity geeks.
