The included clipboard manager lets you track your copy/paste history (If you’re not using a clipboard manager, I’d recommend getting one like Pastebot or use the one in LaunchBar.There are a lot of things you can with the search result – see the image above!.It’s not quite as tweakable as Alfred, but the benefit is that the preferences are less overwhelming For example, hiding the launchbar takes multiple Esc keypresses, the text input box doesn’t have a cursor I-beam, and the default font feels off. The only thing I didn’t like about it was that some of the “how it works” part of the design didn’t match my expectations for how an app should work. It’s a bit simpler to customise, a bit cheaper, but still offers a tonne of functionality and power. LaunchBar is the main competitor to Alfred. LaunchBar: Great but the UX doesn’t quite click for me The Powerpack is costly, but worth it if you know you need the Workflows functionality and you want to support the app’s development.

Plus so much of the rest of the app is excellent.
The preferences UI, and the default UI in general, isn’t “Mac-ish.” It’s not a deal-breaker because the UI is customisable as long as you’ve purchased the Powerpack.This might be a very good thing if that’s what you want! You can run new macOS Shortcuts shortcuts from alfred.Type URLs to go to the site directly from Alfred.You can even search items that are inside System Preferences/Settings – it’s really nice and way faster than clicking through System Preferences.Quick shortcuts to google, amazon, wikipedia.You can view your usage history so you can see how much you’ve been using Alfred.Appearance / theme customisation is excellent.Workflows and the workflow editor are really nice upgrades available in the Powerpack.Check out the screenshot below.įor some people, this is a good thing for me, it’s a bit overwhelming. There are like 15 different panels within the “Features” section of the app’s preferences window. The only downside is that there are a lot of settings to tweak. You’ll be able to find your files, launch apps, do calculations, search the web, and a lot more, all from one launchbar. It’s extremely powerful, very customisable, and tends to have a feeling of “it just works.”
#LAUNCHBAR MACBED FREE#
Price: Free to try, Powerpack is $40 for version 5 updates, $70 for lifetime updatesĪlfred is my go-to recommendation for people getting into launcher apps. Search indexing process isn’t as smooth as the other appsĪlfred: Powerful and customisable but… it’s a lot.
