"Butler 5 pre-sale: Support Butler by purchasing Butler 4 now, and you'll receive a free copy of Butler 5 when it ships!"
And the developer has never come clean about this, just quietly removed references to Butler 5 from their web site. Vaporware.
I use Alfred instead. And I refuse to use any of Many Tricks' apps because they are a dishonest company.
