LaunchBar is one of those utilities I’d describe as massively explorable: it has far more features than I’m truly familiar with. Despite the “.1” designation, this marks LaunchBar’s emergence from its “release candidate” phase so, since we at TidBITS generally prefer to keep silent about betas and other unfinished software, this release is my earliest opportunity to discuss LaunchBar 5. On 20 October 2009, LaunchBar 5.0.1 was released. But I never actually used them together, because as soon as I switched to Snow Leopard I discovered that LaunchBar 5, which had been available as a beta since December 2008, was already in “release candidate” form, and I happily started using it several months ago. Now, it turns out that LaunchBar 4.3.7 did work fine in Snow Leopard. Naturally, in the run-up to Snow Leopard, I was concerned over whether my LaunchBar dependency would be rudely interrupted. (See, for example, “ Curing Your LaunchBar Addiction,” 6 August 2007, or “ Take Control of Exploring & Customizing Snow Leopard“.) LaunchBar is so crucial to my moment-by-moment Mac usage that I can barely tolerate a Mac that lacks it I just sit there, slack-jawed, inert, unable to proceed and get anything done.
