    What is Butler?

    Butler's purpose is to make it easier for you to perform different — potentially recurring — tasks. Butler lets you arrange these tasks in its fully customizable configuration. There, you can assign one or more triggers to a task.

    Triggers:

    • menu bar/docklet
    • pop-up menus
    • abbreviations
    • hot keys
    • hot corners
    • events

    Tasks:

    • launch applications
    • open files
    • access preference panes
    • manage bookmarks
    • search the web
    • run AppleScripts
    • extend the pasteboard
    • enter text snippets
    • simulate keystrokes
    • control iTunes
    • accelerate Spotlight
    • move/copy files
    • more…

    Due to its unique variety of triggers and tasks, Butler is more flexible than any other productivity tool youve seen before. Thats why we call it the Original Many-Tricks Pony. So dont worry if you dont have a use for all of its features right from the beginning. Just start using Butler and discover a new feature every day.

    Highly Configurable. Lives in your menu bar, does a lot of useful functions and its fun. Its a must have for me for over a decade. #1
