Today I am going to share a little productivity tip with you a ‘la 43 Folders by showing you one of my favorite apps . It is one of the million attempts to clone Quicksilver … Everyone knows that none can come close in the other areas … but I think this one equals it in the app launching area … if you don’t follow … I am talking about an application launcher … It is something that with a key combination it pops up a box in which you can type the first few letters of an application then it will launch it for you…and the one that is my very favorite is called Launchy since I have had it my productivity has increased 5x … How can this be you say … well here is a screenshot of my desktop

Yes that is my desktop. where are the icons ? There are no icons. This is because I don’t need them . Why ? This little thing right here.

One tap of alt-space and up comes this. It is called Launchy. Besides this one it also comes with tons of other cool skins if you are on windows this is a must have app. But WAIT There is MORE if you call within the next whenever it will even be opensource. That is right , launchy is completely free and opensource. There you have no excuse.

…Ok let me set the stage … I just got a u3 thumb drive …more info Here A u3 drive AutoRuns a menu on start to run Portable Applications Applications that you can run from a ThumbDrive anyways so … a lot of innovation has come from PortableApps.com … the makers of PortableFirefox and PortableThunderbird John Haller … anyways he has made an awesome portable app called the PortableAppsMenu It is just like the u3 menu except its FREE and OPEN-SOURCE and its so much more customizable then the u3 menu … also you can customize every aspect of this menu … it comes either pre-stocked with apps such as openoffice , firefox , and thunderbird weighting in at about 90 megs , without openoffice for 30 megs or with no apps and completely customizable for a paltry 1 meg … as you can see the menu is very visually appealing . and since its opensource it is completely customizable and redustributable … it also comes with an awsome program called PortableApps backup wich is an opensource backup program to backup your data and settings …and the BIGGEST difference between this and the u3 launcher is the fact that this does NOT require that you have special hardware you can use any media you want … a usb hard drive , a use thumb drive , an ipod, iriver , zen , psp , digital camera (if you wanted to…) ANYTHING … You can download many version of this app …but make sure you download them from either the official site PortableApps.com/suite or one of the following urls

• Download the full version at 80 megs Here
• Download the lite version without openoffice Here
• Download the base version with only PortableApps Backup and PortableApps Menu Here

Also make sure you see PortableApps Other Awesome features like:

But wait … there’s more … there is more than ONE portable application site …. PortableApps.com might write the apps … but my FAVORITE site catalogs hundreds upon hundreds of apps is PortableFreeware.com and portablefreeware also has very active forums … the portable apps menu is actually posted on portablefreeware Here The forums are at Portablefreeware.com/forums … have fun with portable apps Technorati Tags: Freeware, free-software, opensource, portable-apps, portable-applications, thumbdrives, flashdrives, usb-drives, downloads, software
