Product Description:

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


You simply hit your preferred keyboard shortcut to show it and start typing part of an application's name. It shows you a list of matches and narrows it down as you type. Most of the time, one or two letters are enough, especially since Namely learns your habits and makes your most-used apps even quicker to access. It's basically Spotlight for applications, only much faster.

What's new in this version:

  • Improved the sorting logic so that apps beginning with the typed letters will be at the top during early use.
  • The search field is now cleared after you switch away from Namely, not only after you hide it.
  • The maximum height can now be changed through a hidden preference setting. Quit Namely, and on the Terminal, type
      defaults write com.asagoo.namely 'Maximum List Height' 'n'
    where n is the number of rows you want to show.
  • Removed some code that was causing error messages to be logged to the Console.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9
  • Mac OS X 10.3

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
  • Tiger compatible

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

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.
