The application launcher with a 50,000 foot view. Bevy is a launcher that shows you all of your application icons in a single window that can be opened with a global hot key, from the menu bar or by clicking its dock icon. You just specify folders where your applications are located and Bevy creates visual groups of icons for each folder. To help you quickly find the application you're looking for, a key press will highlight applications with matching names or you can drag-and-drop a file to highlight compatible applications. How cool is that? In addition, you can hide rarely used apps

How cool is that? In addition, you can hide rarely used apps and un-installers so they won't clutter your window. And Bevy is always up-to-date because it uses Spotlight to keep track of changes so you don't have to.

I currently have it triggered from a screen edge, and have been using it as a dock replacement. Actually is effective for launching and switching between running apps without getting in the way. Glad to reclaim all that screen space.

I recently purchased bevy via the in trial application, only to find out that esellerate requires online activation. On communication with the developer, he suggested that there's a 5 activation limit for the purchase, which is good enough for me, but keep in mind there is a limit to the number of machines you can run your purchase on (unlike the app store), and to be able to do a backup that will install offline, you're going to have to go through some extra hoops to make the app use the manual activation code.
While i do have my purchase, not having my application as "mine" is a concern, what if the developer or esellerate go bust in the meantime?
Though Let me lastly say i heartily recommend bevy. I use it by triggering it to the right edge of the screen, get amazing productivity gains, and i can loose the dock. Welcome back the pixels taken by the dock into your workspace :)

Bevy has a very flexible configuration - you can specify the folder from which the client will skip the program and removing from the list of unwanted software, show only the active applications and call itself the panel via hot keys.
Moves on the panel Bevy file on it will be highlighted programs that can open it. It remains only to throw the file on the desired icon.
Also worth noting that the program is stable and fast to use!
Thanks to developers for an interesting product!
Best Regards Vitaly!

Do yourself a favor- Take Bevy for a demo drive. I bet you will like it. In fact, have your credit card handy, because you will want to buy it as soon as you try it.
Based upon my latest experience I give Bevy five stars for the reasons stated. This is my honest opinion. Nobody asked, offered, or gave me anything to write it. I do not know the developer.

- you click its icon in the dock
- use the icon in the menubar
- once it shows all your app you have te option in the left uper corner under the gear icon.
