DESCRIPTION
Sometimes you just don't want to take time going to your Applications folder or searching around your hard drive. Just click a quick hotkey (Command-Option-Control-T) and Todos will simply appear. Todos' job is simple. Todos doesn't do more than it says. Like its definition in Spanish, Todos will show you everything. Todos shows you all your applications in a complete dock. All of us have a plethora of programs and the Apple dock just can't fit them all. Don't worry. Bring Todos up when you need to get to any of your apps. Click any application in Todos and it will instantly launch. When you are done, just click the hotkey again and Todos is gone. Don't forget to stand back and wow at all those cool icons for all of your applications. OS X has beautiful icons, why not see them more?

JEFF55434  Will somebody tell me what I'm missing? I start up Todos and the window pops up. I select any application and the application starts up but then the Todos window disappears and there is no way to bring it back up. First I tried to relaunch it but nothing happened. Then I checked the Activity Monitor and saw that it was still running. The only way to get the window back was to force quit and then relaunch.

This is either a major flaw which makes this app useless or I'm completely missing something, but there's no explanation in the docs either. I uninstalled this one and dragged it to the trash.

DUSTIN BACHRACH  Here is how Todos works. The window is displayed on start. You can click an app to start it. Todos disappears after you open another app (thinking you are done with Todos, so it gets out of your way). If you want to launch multiple apps, you can hold command and click, this launches the app and keeps Todos up. To bring Todos back, click the customizable hotkey (Command-shift-control t). You can also go to the menubar, and click the Todos icon, and then Display window. All of this should be well documented in the read me file. I hope this helps.

MELISSA3  Love the app! Aesthetically pleasing, does exactly what it says and ya can't beat the price.

As much as I love my commands, to switch to the keyboard and then to the mouse to select an app I don't find all that convenient and with the command being 4 keys and use of only one hand, not all that quick... Wouldn't mind being able to click the app in the menubar and intstead of a drop-menu appearing, having the app open immediately and have a ctrl or option + click feature to access the menu items instead.

A new icon look in the menu would also be nice, not so dark, a lil cleaner.

Otherwise, love it! Thanks! :)

BETA.LAB  Great app, although personally I would like to see an option to run Todos in the Dock as my menu bar is already too cluttered.

RASTERBATOR  This app is great, and the new feature to remove apps from the list is cool. Very stable. Would like to see more features in 1.6: Resizable Window and Resizable Icons would make this app a must have for any OS X user.

NCIANCA  Nifty idea. Really needs a way to remove apps that you don't want in there though and some better filtering as it also shows all the utility apps that might be found inside an application bundle and that's largely a useless use of real estate on the panel.

DUSTIN BACHRACH  You can remove applications from Todos by option-clicking them. They will instantly disappear and never be shown again. You can undo this action in the preferences window in the ignore table.

MISTERFOX  Note: Also works on 10.3.9

Great app! Great looks too btw!

just one problem: everything goes unbelievably slow... The fading shocks, opening the prefs window takes several minutes... Everything takes a long time... But maybe that's just because i'm running it on 10.3.9...
