Overview
LaunchBar for Mac is an award-winning productivity utility that offers an amazingly intuitive and efficient way to search and access any kind of information stored on your computer or on the Web. It provides instant access to your applications, documents, contacts, and bookmarks, to your music library, to search engines and more, just by entering short abbreviations of the searched item's name.
You just hit Command-Space to bring the app's input window to front, enter an arbitrary abbreviation, and as soon as you start typing LaunchBar for macOS displays the best matching choices, ready to be opened immediately. Start applications, open documents, invoke system services, compose emails, or navigate the Web--the app will be your essential servant.
Regardless of whether you are a long-time user, or just a beginner – you will love the tool’s new interface. Every aspect, every pixel was designed for simplicity. The tool’s ever-growing set of indexing rules has been further extended to include Finder Tags, Emoji, Reminders, Safari Reading List and Top Sites, iCloud Tabs, Themes and more.
With custom, script-based actions you can vastly extend LaunchBar for Mac to fit your needs. Install actions written by other users or write your own in a variety of scripting languages such as AppleScript, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, PHP and more. Explore an item’s metadata such as image dimensions, color profiles, Finder tags, navigate into application bundles, browse property list or text file contents, view recent documents and other associated files, review file attributes, disk capacity, word counts, and more.
Perform web searches on Google, Wikipedia or DuckDuckGo even more efficiently with live suggestions. And many actions such as Calculator or Calendar input now also provide instant feedback for the entered query. Regardless of how long you’ve been using the app, there is still something new to be discovered. With Usage Statistics you get a detailed analysis of the features you use most often, and the ones remaining to be explored.
