Hi,
I have had a valid Launchbar license for quite a while that I got as part of a bundle at one point. I have tried to use it a number of times and each time I get frustrated as it end up causing me to waste more time that actually getting anything done. Does anyone else have this or is it just me?
Does Launchbar actually increase productivity?
Re: Does Launchbar actually increase productivity?
A mac without Launchbar is just a clunky, slow, awkward thing to me.
LB is the first thing I install on any new Mac, I love it.
Love it.

Imagine there was a feature in LaunchBar that could watch what someone is doing, and when various steps are taken, show how much quicker the same thing could be achieved in LaunchBar.
For example: selecting the address bar in a web browser, copying the text, launching Notes, creating a new note, pasting the address in.
LaunchBar would see all of that, and offer to walk the person through using Instant Send.
Like a less annoying Clippy.
I’ve been using LaunchBar for some time now, I can recommend reading through the Take Control of LaunchBar ebook. And because the book covers a lot of ground, it’s probably something you would want to go back to now and again (I know I should) to refresh your usage of it.
The LaunchBar Usage (‘Superpowers’) window is a nice prompt too, it shows you how much you’re making use of the various features (bring up LaunchBar → Command-Option-U).
