OverFlow 2.0

I must say this app is in my top 10. Very nice job!

I did have it crash once, but im sure it will be fixed. I must say this is a must for laptop users, compared to home users with 21" screens or better.

I used to have over 40 icons on the dock from all the great apps, games and others items I use daily. Right now my dock has nothing on it at all. Everything is in this app. I use the dock to indicate whats open and I have 3 items that start up when I log on this computer Mail, NetNewsWire, and Calender.

Keep up the great work!

Before I read about this on tuaw.com, I had a folder on the dock with shortcuts to all the applications I use frequently.

This is an absolutely amazing launcher. I love it. On top of it's usefulness, it sure is a sexy lil app, but then the entire Mac is sexy...

Just wait that OverFlow shows up on MacZot... ;-)

Definite sale for say $5-7, but I'm also a QuickSilver user and can't justify a higher price for this one. It is a very well presented app, though. Congrats to the Stunt team.

I've been using this application since the previous version and love it.

I prefer to keep a minimal dock with only my top five or so applications in it, and Quicksilver, while useful, doesn't work as well when you can't remember the name of the application you want to launch.

A search-based utility is fine when you want to see a list of items that might or might not be the item you actually want then select the item from there--that can be very useful--but it is not the same thing as an item-based launcher that you can pre-load with whatever applications, files, and folders you want to keep readily accessible to create an efficient workflow (or multiple efficient workflows). Quicksilver does a lot and it does it for free, but it is overkill if what you want is a clean, elegant launcher that lets you get to exactly what you want without searching.

That said, I do see one serious flaw in Overflow: the item name text does not wrap and when using the default icon and text sizes, it is shortened after only several characters or so (depending upon the widths of the characters). Even after shrinking the text to the smallest possible size, rather short item names may be further shortened. If the developer can fix up the text, I may add Overflow to my regular toolset.

I'd buy it for $5.

Adam, i coulnd't say better !! Very elegant but if you already use quicksilver...

I don't know if I'd find this terribly useful given that I don't keep that much in the dock to begin with, but the product page is really a work to be admired. Everyone selling a shareware app ought to have a quality screencast like theirs. Heck, even though I don't think I'd use it, I was much more tempted because of the detailed, informative, well narrated screencast.
