Launchers for MAC
4 free Mac apps in Launchers, including Hangar, Ueli, and Alfred. Each app page lists its version, size, macOS requirement and what’s new, and the download button leads to the developer’s official source.

HangarHangar is a menu bar app for the workflows you keep running all day: a build or watch command in one project, a terminal tool in another, an editor opened on a certain folder. You save each one as a snippet, and a toggle in the menu bar opens iTerm2 or Terminal and runs the command; switch it off and the window closes. A status dot shows which snippets are running, and snippets marked for auto-start come back by themselves after you log in.Productivity
UeliUeli is a free, open-source keystroke launcher for macOS, Windows and Linux, in the same family as Spotlight and Alfred. Press Option+Space, start typing what you are looking for, move through the results with the arrow keys and press Return to launch the selected item. Cmd+K opens extra actions for a result, such as adding it to your favorites so that it always comes first in the list.Productivity
AlfredAlfred is an award-winning productivity app for macOS that lets you launch apps and find files from the keyboard, without reaching for the mouse. Type a keyword into its search box to open an app, find a file, search your favourite websites, do a quick calculation or look up a word. The developer describes the core of Alfred as free to download and use forever.Productivity
QuicksilverQuicksilver is a fast productivity app that lets you control your Mac from the keyboard. Press its hotkey, type a few letters and launch applications, open files and folders or reach your bookmarks in an instant. It goes further than a launcher: pick a file and an action to move, copy, email or compress it, send messages and control music. Quicksilver learns your habits, so the things you use most come up first, and plugins add many more actions and sources.Productivity
