Maybe I’ll just turn off the app-launching feature and go back to Quicksilver for that, leaving LaunchBar running only as a very expensive (but good) clipboard-history tool. More than a year after switching to LaunchBar because I thought Quicksilver was dead (which might not be the case anymore), I still make far more mistakes launching apps with LaunchBar and I’m still not fully accustomed to the nuances of typing into it.īut I’ve tried other clipboard-history apps (all of which cost far less than LaunchBar’s $35 price), and I like LaunchBar’s implementation best by far. I think Quicksilver was much better at launching apps. Now, using a computer with “only” one pasteboard, like iOS devices or other people’s computers, feels primitive and constraining.Īnd honestly, I’m not a big LaunchBar fan otherwise. It’s invaluable when programming or juggling links for a blog post (as you can see by my stack’s contents in the screenshot).

My most common use is shuffling around two or three items in a stack. Most LaunchBar users love how it streamlines launching and switching between apps: invoke LaunchBar, type a few characters, and your app opens and LaunchBar learns from what you do so you don’t have to memorize convoluted abbreviations or keystrokes. But now that I’ve integrated clipboard history into my workflow, I couldn’t go without it again. It’s my favorite feature, too:īefore LaunchBar, I used Quicksilver for launching apps and nothing for clipboard history. Justin Williams’ favorite LaunchBar feature is the clipboard history.
