LaunchBar for Mac

v6.18 is out. Release notes: "- Automatic Theme Switching: • Added automatic switching between a theme’s dark and light appearance based on the current system appearance. • The desired theme appearance can be chosen in LaunchBar Settings > Appearance. • In addition to automatic switching it’s still possible to choose a fixed dark or light appearance. • The desired appearance can also be chosen in the LaunchBar window. Select a theme (either by browsing the Themes indexing rule or by selecting it directly via abbreviation search), then press Right Arrow (or Space) and choose either Automatic, Light or Dark. • Added dark variants of built-in themes (except for the “Vintage” theme). - Improvements and Bug Fixes: • Improved appearance of sidebar in index window. • Improved caching of applications index for better startup performance. • Improved ranking of system applications when searching via abbreviation search. • Fixed: Sending files to a shortcut (those created in the macOS Shortcuts app) didn’t work on macOS Ventura. This was caused by a bug in the Shortcuts API on Ventura, which no longer accepts multiple files or folders to be sent to a shortcut. As a consequence it’s currently only possible to send a single file or folder to a shortcut via LaunchBar on Ventura. On macOS Monterey it’s still possible to send multiple files or folders. • Fixed a bug causing a file path copied from LaunchBar into a Terminal window to be pasted twice. • Fixed a crash when allowing Calendar/Reminders access after adding or enabling the corresponding indexing rule. • Fixed an issue causing the shadows in a few custom icons to be headed in the wrong direction."

Yeah, gonna need to update those screenshots there. Can't remotely figure out what this app does.

v6.16 is out (as of 2022-11). Release notes: • Compatibility with macOS Ventura. • New built-in “Dark Mode On/Off” action. • New built-in actions for converting images into PNG or HEIC format. • Improved Google Chrome Bookmarks and History indexing to support multiple profiles. • Improved application indexing to also include Xcode’s Simulator.app. • Renamed image conversion actions from “Recompress Image” to “Convert Image to JPG”. • Improved icons of built-in actions. • Improved appearance of drag & drop highlight while dragging items onto the LaunchBar window. • Improved browsing of an application’s recent documents to indicate if a document would by default open with a different app. • Fixed indexing of Firefox bookmarks and history. • Fixed built-in “Set Desktop Background” action. • Fixed incorrect display of icons with non-square aspect ratios. • Fixed a layout issue in the Options pane of the index window. • Changed keyboard shortcut of “Open in Action Editor” from Command-Return to Shift-Command-E. • Dropped support for Chromium and Opera web browsers. • Removed “Lock Screen” and Fast User Switching actions on macOS Big Sur and later, because macOS has removed the ability for third party apps to trigger these functions.

v6.14.1 is the current version as of March, 2021. The Release Notes can be found here: https://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/releasenotes.html

Lots of features that are too advanced for me, but the ability to move, copy, or make alias of files with just a few keystrokes is easy and useful on a daily basis. The Clipboard History and ClipMerge feature (copy multiple time to the same clip so you only have to paste once) is also great when needed. That's just a fraction of what this can do, but it's enough for me. It’s replaced CopyLess, DropZone and Spotlight for me - I love it.
