You should be careful using this app, it can lead to problems with Apple Mail. Over at Leopard Tricks they reported about this.

1.1.4 fixes the problem with scrubbing protected system applications thus making them unusable.

Doesn't work on leopard - see their blog for an explanation. In a nutshell, you can no longer remove the entries associated to 'signed applications' - meaning that most apps can no longer have their entries customized. I tried it on my macbook and while on 10.4 I was able to remove almost everything, on 10.5 I could only remove 2 applications entries (out of 50+). Shame.

it's the easiest launcher I know, you tweak it just the way you want it, I love it.

Nice simple launcher that works fast.
I'm not used to modern programs reacting fast especially not one like this on my old G3 iMac, but it reacts instantly!
And besides it works on panther!

Hi,
I use it all the time. My shortcut to activate it is ⌘+⎋ (apple + esc). I find it to be an easy shortcut to remember and doesn't interfer with other applications.

This little app has become an wholly inseparable part of of my OS X user experience. It does one thing only and does it phenomenally well. I would probably cry if it suddenly stopped working. In fact, I'm getting a little choked up just imagining such a horrible, horrible scenario.

I have to say, I think as far as a straight launcher goes, you really can't beat Namely, it's so quick and easy to use. I use quicksilver sometimes as well, but I think it's just too bloated for everyday use. To each their own, but this works great for me!

This program is fast, easy, no leraning curve, only do one thing which is launch apps fast. It one of those things that will slowly grow on you. I was a Quick Silver user before I found out about this program. Now, I rarely use Quick Silver anymore. However, i could see no harm done by including a feature to launch items in the System Preference.

This piece of software is a gem... fast and simple... There is only one feature that Quicksilver has that is sorely lacking here: the ability to assign arbitary shortcuts to an application (very often I can't even remember the name of the application I want to run... the ability to create custom “tagged” names for applications would make this a killer app...).

I'm with ig0774. Tagging would be one improvement to make this THE killer app.
Also, the ability to open Finder.app through Namely (or am I just to stupid?)

But at the moment it does what it should do, open apps, at an unbelievable speed and with unbeatable simplicity. Love it.

ummm...the link is broken, can somebody send me Namely to me at aimeworks@gmail.com,

thanks!

Thanks!

I don't see why one should not quite as simply use quicksilver instead, which does the same thing but then so much more...

@andrehuf: In my experience, I prefer Namely over Quicksilver simply because I don't use most of Quicksilver's features. Yes, they come in handy once you learn them, but more often than not I only used the program as a launcher. It makes more sense for me to not have all the bells and whistles when all I need is to open a program :)

I love this app. It's a gem. I launch almost all of my Applications with it.

Personally I made it a NSUIElement - so it won't have a menubar and it doesn't appear in the dock. So the only way to access it is the keyboard shortcut. Fine by me :)
