Keeping Your Dock Uncluttered with TigerLaunch

If you’re a Mac user and you’ve ever tried to imbed your applications folder in your dock, you know what a pain it is to try to open an application that way. You have to click and hold the icon for three to six seconds before you even get the menu to pop up. It’s annoying, it slows down your system, and it won’t make you very efficient, no matter where you are!

But there’s a free fix that lets you access your apps without cluttering your dock with unneccesary applications and folders. It’s called TigerLaunch. It puts a cute little pawprint in the upper right hand corner of your screen. Click the pawprint and it immediately pulls down a menu full of applications.

And unlike your applications folder, you can configure the TigerLaunch menu to include only those apps you actually want to have quick access to - but don’t use frequently enough to keep in your dock.

It doesn’t slow down your system, it’s almost instantaneous, and it’s totally free.

Bottom Line: It’s a new permanent resident in the upper right corner of my screen. A+
