An AppleScript to quickly launch applications
Authored by: BulbVivid on Feb 23, '04 08:23:46PM

Though this strays from the original post--a nice script--while on the topic of app launchers I thought I'd throw in a word for pearCalc, which I found after it was mentioned in a previous post in this forum.

PearCalc is a no-frills app launcher, and it's free. It automatically adds typed applications to a list and then autofills in a minimal window. Though somewhat limited in options--not that that's bad--this app's changed the way I use my computer. I rarely open the applications folder, and my dock is empty of all but running apps.

I tried most of the others, but they all seemed a little overblown to me. Between pearCalc and iKey I can get to things quickly and do things I didn't think were so easily possible.

And pearCalc's really supposed to be a calculator, though I have yet to really use it for that.

Check it out, it may work for you:
