Quicksilver is a fast and free macOS productivity application that gives you the power to control your Mac quickly and elegantly. Quicksilver learns your habits, making your everyday chores simple and efficient.
Quicksilver is great, also check out Alfred App which is much newer and maybe even a little more powerful: https://www.alfredapp.com/

I can't believe this hasn't been hunted yet! The app was in beta for 10 years and largely unsupported up until a few years ago. It puts Spotlight to shame. It's so powerful it makes you dangerous.
This testimonial from their website sums it up perfectly... “Quicksilver allows me to do near superhuman things with files and applications. It makes me a frakkin Ninja and my Mac a Ginsu Knife”. – Patrick Rhone, Minimal Mac

I LOVE Quicksilver! OSX has copied a lot of the functionality, but I'll always love the original.
I think @rrhoover is on vacation. He never would have let me hunt this! That said, I loved QS back in the day. Y'all know it was created by the designer of Google's original mobile apps?
@chrismessina I LEAVE THE COMPUTER FOR ONE MINUTE! 😜 (I was at Outside Lands this weekend)

@chrismessina@rrhoover Why wouldn't we be allowed to hunt Quicksilver? I know it's old, but it wasn't until recently that they announced they would now be actually supporting it. ;)
