Application Wizard overview

Application Wizard provides fast access to applications, documents, folders, and disks. It lets you quickly open, quit, and make applications active, run AppleScripts, and reduce screen clutter by turning on single-application mode.

With Application Wizard you can also browse volumes and favorite folders to quickly open enclosed items, eject and mount disks, check memory usage, and to easily access recent documents and contacts. Finally, Application Wizard lets you preview images, music, movies, and documents, and view file properties and metadata.

What’s new in version 4.6.1

  • The incompatibilities with macOS 15 Sequoia have been solved.
  • If you have multiple internal startup disks, the Special menu by default no longer displays APFS data volumes. To show them for disks other than your current startup disk, open the Menus window, click Special Menu in the sidebar, and deselect the “Hide APFS data volumes” checkbox.
  • Social profiles in the Contacts submenu have been revised and completed. In addition to that, all labels in the Contacts submenu are now displayed in a dimmed color.
  • The Open With submenu of previews now excludes applications located on connected servers.
  • A bug that caused running applications in the Applications panel not to be updated when certain applications (e.g. Maps, Home, News) quit has been fixed.
  • A bug that caused the size of vertical video previews to be incorrect has been fixed.
  • A bug that caused tags not to be displayed for items in smart folders has been fixed.
  • Some other minor improvements and fixes have been introduced.

Nice app, but for some reason when I restart my computer the Application Wizard opens every app I have (and I have a lot)... huge pain in the ass! It also does it when I switch the off/on slider to on. What gives? Useless, unless this is addressed. If anyone has an answer I'd love to hear it.

I have been using Application Wizard for only a few days but am already quite impressed. I have tried a few alternatives to the dock provided with MacOS and have found that Application Wizard does the best job of fitting my needs. I like the ability to put the apps I utilize most in folders where I can easily access them. The critical feature for me is the ability to populate those folders with my choice of applications, and in the order I choose. I tend to have "go-to" applications of a given type, but also have others of that type that I only use occasionally. Application Wizard's folders let me list ALL apps of a given type in my order priority or frequency of use, so I don't forget about infrequently used apps. While there are more features of the app I have yet to explore I have already made the purchase.

A terrific little utility which has made updating/upgrading to Catalina a pleasure. Catalina killed my last application launcher, which I'd probably hung on to for too long anyway, but the Application Wizard gave me all sorts of options for accessing and launching apps which I hadn't considered until I installed it. This is another utility that's gone into my 'indispensable list' .... Massive kudos to the developer who seems to have an innate understanding of how users actually work. Without it Catalina imposed so many constraints I was seriously thinking of junking it and going back to Mojave ... with it I'm finally reasonably happy with Catalina.

Brand new v4.0 works great thus far in Mojave 10.14.5 on a MacPro 5.1. Great to see it 64-Bit at last. Well done. Upgraded today.
