Ratings and Reviews
if URLs support favicon
would be perfect.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback and the idea with FavIcon! I have written this on the ToDo list and see if the capture of FavIcons can be implemented in one of the next updates.
--- Update ---
Hello Brainriot,
support for favicons has been built into Start. The corresponding update is currently being tested internally and should be released later this month.
Many greetings,
Gerald
FINALLY - I have been searching for Months
My Dock has been so full of apps I use all the time but I was afraid if I took some off the dock I would forget I had them. I was looking for apps that I could set apps to launch in the Menu Bar and somehow I came across this app. I bought it maybe a couple of hours ago and have been setting it up and asigning hotkeys to open some of the apps or url's I use everyday. This makes me so happy I finally found something to organize my mess of a dock, but I am super excited that I can launch whatever I want with a short two keys on the keyboard. Freaking Perfect.
Thanks.
My new favorite in the menu bar
Start has proven to be so useful, so quickly, that it is now my favorite menu bar utility.
Being able to organize all my apps, files, and links by categorizing and tagging them is only the beginning. It seems that the more you look at Start, the more you'll find can be done with it.
Add to that the stellar support that Gerald, its creator, has been giving me, and I wonder how I could ever have lived without it. He is not only deeply concerned about keeping Start as efficent and resource-friendly as possible, but also reating to the needs and concerns of his customers. One user here expressed his hope for URLs supporting favicons, not even 2 months ago, and already this feature has been added.
My opinion is that Start is a must-have utility for every Mac owner, and for me, it will be one of the first 3 utilities that I will install on every Mac that I set up. Way to go Gerland, and thanks for providing us with this amazing utility at such a fair price!
