Comments from those who selected Quicksilver as one of their Top 10 Tools in
2008
- "If I'm sat in front of someone else's computer, be
it Mac or PC, this is the application I miss the most.
At first glance it appears to be just a program
launcher, but that barely scratches the surface. This is
what Google Desktop search should have been!"
Barry Sampson
- "a Mac only onboard tool which makes it a
snap to find open and work on anything on the computer.
Keyboard driven. Free"
Kate Foy
- "The Swiss Army knife of Mac applications,
Quicksilver locates files ala Spotlight, launches
applications, performs simple manipulations on files,
controls iTunes, and much much more. There's a rumor
going around that Blacktree is going to stop development
of Quicksilver, and the most recent release seems very
buggy when running under Leopard. But it's still a sine
qua non among Mac apps."

Comments from those who selected Quicksilver as one of their Top 10 Tools in
2007
- "I'm still trying to get my
head around how it works and how to best incorporate it
into my workflow but it has potential to really be a big
help"
Audrey J Williams
- "I use this application for
everything (really everything—sending quick emails,
running search queries of sites like amazon,
wikipedia, or google,
cropping photos,
manipulating files,
launching
applications . .
.). In fact when I
sit down at a Mac
without Quicksilver
I feel like I am
working with only
half a computer"
David Parry
- "An amazingly powerful app for doing
stuff with other stuff. There's no way to describe it,
or how wonderful it is. Just download it and start using
it."
