Alfred review: This Mac app launcher continues to shine, but Alfred Remote doesn't stack up

The introduction of the Macintosh back in 1984 helped release us from the bondage of the command-line interface (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface). So, it seems ironic that there’s a relatively new category of Mac productivity apps that lets us control our Macs from the keyboard. Quicksilver (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicksilver_(software)) was one of the first of these utilities, and I was a big fan. But when developer support fragmented, other apps like Launchbar (http://www.macworld.com/article/2363266/launchbar-6-review-do-everything-utility-gets-and-looks-even-better.html) and even Apple’s own Spotlight (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotlight_%28software%29) moved in to stake a claim. I’ve tried all of them and, while all have their merits, I eventually landed on <strong>Alfred (http://www.alfredapp.com/)</strong> by Running With Crayons (http://www.alfredapp.com/) and haven’t looked back.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2881953/alfred-review-this-mac-app-launcher-continues-to-shine-but-alfred-remote-doesnt-stack-up.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
