Volt Launcher For Mac

Mac users who have to launch a particular application or open a specific directory can use either a Finder window to browse to their location or use Spotlight to find them a faster and easier.

There are however other ways to quickly launch apps or open folders, and application launchers are probably the best choice for such a task.

Volt Launcher is an app launcher specifically designed for macOS which will help you to instantly start any app in your Mac's Applications folder by double tapping the ⌘ (Command), the ⇧ (Shift), the ⌥ (Option) or the ⌃ (CTRL) key on the keyboard.

Once installed from the Mac App Store and started on your Mac, Volt Launcher adds its own status bar item for straightforward and easy configuration and will stay out of your way while running in the background waiting for a key double tap.

In order for Volt Launcher to be able to function as an app launcher, you have to select the apps or folders that should be launched and, respectively, opened.

This can be done via its status bar menu by clicking the drop-down menu next to each keyboard shortcut and picking the app or folder you want to attach to each particular hotkey.

Even though during the testing period Volt Launcher worked flawlessly, there still are a couple of areas where it needed more oomph to make it on out perfect app launcher short list.

One of them is the lack of extra customization, with the possibility to open a document or a distinct URL address being the most sought after yet unfortunately utterly absent feature.

One other feature the Volt Launcher app needs is a way to add other keyboard keys as launchers, a characteristic which would most probably make it a lot more powerful.

Taking all of the above into consideration, Volt Launcher is the app you always needed if you require opening a specific folder or restarting an app a lot of times throughout the day.
