Trampoline Fantastic 
- Version: 2.3.3, 10/30/2008 01:14PM PST

I've felt ambivalent about the native Dock since it showed up - a love/hate relationship at best - but Trampoline is a fantastic alternative. Easy to use, easy to show/hide, easy to add/remove items from its circle - highly configurable and, unlike Dock, doesn't show up when I don't want it. The developer has thought carefully about its behavior and taken user choice into account at almost every turn. I recommend it as a great Dock alternative.

I want to make my comments more overt here. This program has significantly reduced my pending carpal tunnel problems. Instead of having to make numerous trips to the dock (or other program switchers), I programmed my center mouse button to pop up the Trampoline menu when I click it. It's a lot easier for me to traverse a small piece of screen realty to find what I want. This might sound trivial, but as I've gotten older, it has made a significant difference. (I've been using Macs for nearly 20 years.) In addition, the program is highly configurable and fast. If you tinker with it for less than a minute - and read the instructions that come with it - you will see that it is not at all difficult to configure and use. The developer has also always been prompt with replies and consideration of feature requests. This is a program one should check out before dismissing it as "yet another program switcher and launcher." I'll take it over the dock any day.

strange and unintuitive... not for everyone... bit of a software "gizmo" - if you like that sort of thing...
what's wrong with the dock anyway? I drag my app folders in to the right side of the dock - right/contrl click on the folder and voila, a menu of all your apps to choose from...

If you like the idea behind Trampoline, you may wanna give a try to Sapiens as well. Like trampoline it has a circular interface, but it also is a launcher with an artificial intelligence that predicts the applications you may need. Pretty cool actually.

Top-notch utility and developer - Version: 2.2, 8/23/2007 06:43AM PST

Trampoline is about as perfect as it can be, and still the developer hasn't stopped listening -- or improving it. Frequent updates and the recent addition of a Center Mouse When Opening feature (see prev. suggestion) make T an essential utility worthy of our support. Thank you, and keep up the great work.
Excellent utility - Version: 2.1, 8/13/2007 01:45PM PST

I have no problems recommending this software, it's stable, easy to use and works as advertised, a real nice utility to load on your MAC.
Great as always! One suggestion... - Version: 2.0.2, 4/17/2007 02:57PM PST

I've used and supported this since it was Bullseye. Just keeps getting better - easy, quick, intuitive. One thing that would be really great: a Prefs setting for Always Appear At Center.
That way, if you use a hotkey combo and not mouse activation, you could tell Trampoline to always appear at the center of your monitor rather than directly under the mouse (wherever you might have left it).
Awesome app I've enjoyed for a couple of years now. Free upgrade for users of Bullseye, too. Keep up the good work!

This is a really awesome app, and I see a lot of potential for features that could be added to make it even better From what other users have been saying here, the developers really care about the project so maybe we'll get lucky.
I have a folder hierarchy set up for my frequently used apps (Communication, Games, Office, etc). It would be nice if there could be multiple bullseyes, either by interpreting the contents of a folder or setting up a hierarchy in the preferences. For example, clicking a folder in the initial bullseye would bring up a separate bullseye showing the contents of that folder.
Another feature some users might find useful is the ability to put address book contacts in their bullseye.

Better and getting BETTER! - Version: 1.4, 5/8/2005 06:56PM PST

This program keeps getting better and better. Allowing a configurable mouse click as well as a hot key makes this program nearly perfect. I use a 2 button mouse and I thought that configuring the right button to open Bullseye would conflict with the right click/contextual menu but it doesn't. When I do a quick right click, I get the contextual menu, but when I hold the right button down for perhaps a split second longer, Bullseye pops up. I get the best of both worlds using the right button.
Great program. . .keep it up

This could be a killer app if it would have a contextual mode.
If you haven't already run "Applications>Applescript>Install Script Menu" and check out the context specific functions of Script Menu.
All you would have to do is give us a preference check box to use Script Menu as the list for Bullseye.
Then you can use Bullsey almost as a VR type controller for applications.
Cool, novel and very functional.
I have a dozen professional uses for this; not to mention the hundred or two cool and amazing novelties that could be made with it.
