What it is
TigerLaunch is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure application launcher for OS X.
It displays an Apps menu at the top of your screen listing all your applications in alphabetical order—no matter what folder they appear in.
You can easily configure it to exclude applications you rarely or never launch.
This allows you to be more selective about what apps are dock-worthy, so your dock doesn’t get so cluttered. It also makes it easier to launch apps that are buried in sub-folders, such as in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
How to install
If an earlier version of TigerLaunch is running, quit TigerLaunch.
After unarchiving the download, open the folder and copy TigerLaunch into your Applications folder.
How to use
Launch TigerLaunch. An Apps menu will appear at the upper right of your screen.
Choose the Configure command to open a window that allows you to exclude apps from being listed in the Apps menu.
You can also choose an icon for the Apps menu.
Easter egg feature for developers
If you have a Projects folder in your home folder, a Projects menu will appear next to the Apps menu. It will list Xcode project files, making them easy to find and launch.
