Ratings and Reviews
Simply The Best
Is there anything this app cannot do? You can find misplaced files and folders, launch your apps, search the web, look up word definitions and perform calculations without launching the dictionary and calculator apps, etc.
You can also log out, restart, and shutdown your computer.
Excellent tool to launch apps, search and open files
After spending a lot of time clicking my way through different menus and the dock, closing windows to find a particular running program etc. I found this tool in the app store. It works very intuitively and allows you to operate the Mac entirely with brief keyboard commands (typically no more than 3-4 keystrokes to launch an app, find a particular file or folder etc.). You just need to know a part of the corresponding name. It saves me a lot of time operating the Mac and I highly recommend it.
Alfred Review
This app is fantastic. I've actually hid my dock and use Alfred for everything. It's quick, efficient, and brings up multiple options. I can bring up Alfred and type something to google and it brings me right to the page. I can quickly perform calculations without opening the calculator, find lost files and folders without moving the mouse and even shut down my Mac
