It is often difficult to ensure your favorite apps are always within reach, especially if your Dock happens to be a bit too crowded.
Launchey is a simple utility that allows you to access various applications directly from the menu bar, as well as with the help of customizable hotkeys.
When you open Launchey for the first time, you need to choose which applications should be displayed in the drop-down menu accessible from the app’s status bar icon. By default, all the items in your ‘Applications’ directory are included, but you can remove most or even all of them if you like.
You also have the option of adding additional directories, should your apps be stored in a different location.
Of course, the application’s most distinguishing feature is the fact that it allows you to place up to five app shortcuts in your menu bar. These are always displayed to the left of any other status bar icon, so getting them mixed up should not be an issue.
You can choose from any applications installed on your Mac, and Launchey allows you to assign a custom global hotkey to each one. These are effective regardless of whether or not the shortcuts are displayed in the menu bar.
Launchey should not give any headaches even to complete novices, as it is very simple to set up. Once the initial configuration is complete, you can just get on with your other tasks and forget about the app altogether, while benefiting from its features.
If you are looking for a way to make your favorite apps more accessible, Launchey may just be the right tool for the job. It enables you to place shortcuts for multiple applications in your menu bar and open them easily, with the help of customizable hotkeys.
