Product Description:

Namely is possibly the fastest way to open applications. And unlike some other launchers, it doesn't require any learning.

You simply activate it using your preferred keyboard shortcut, start typing part of an application's name and see a list of matches as you type. Most of the time, one or two letters are enough. In fact, Namely learns your habits and makes your most-used apps even quicker to access over time. It's basically Spotlight for applications, only much faster, and highly addictive.

What's new in this version:

Time Machine backups of applications are now automatically excluded.
Moving the mouse over an application in the list will once again show its path in a tooltip.
Namely now ensures it's fully visible on your screen when launched.
Remade the application icon to include high-resolution versions.
Updated the appearance of the buttons for adding and removing excluded paths in the Preferences panel.
The Preferences panel now has appropriate minimum height and width.

What's wrong with Spotlight? - Version: 2.5.1, 7/21/2008 02:17PM PST

monkeys.steal.my.boxers (Jake Trimble)

With Leopards improvements and a current model laptop, I can bring spotlight up (apple+space) and as soon as i type the beginning of an app name it comes to the top and highlights itself, literally instantly. The enter key then opens it. I realize that this Namely only searches applications, but I don't see why anyone would want a faster search than spotlight. It's literally instantaneous for me.

vs. Spotlight on Loep. - Version: 2.5.1, 11/20/2007 08:02PM PST

Leoqp. has much improved the speed of Spotl., but Namely finds ONLY apps, so is fast, and LEARNS, so is that much faster for commonly used apps. Butler is very good, but doesn't always find what I want - Namely always does.
