The most useful pared-down launcher I have. I no longer bother with anything else. Bugfree and sensible! Been using it for several years.

I have tried several keyboard shortcut/hotkey software such as HoeKey and especially AutoHotKey, but I can assure that Splat has been the easiest to configure, the most complete and pleasant to use, in addition to the fact that it has no bugs and consumes little RAM. This app literally changed my life as I have saved a lot of time when performing many tasks. For example, I have defined that one key combination (like Ctrl+Shift+N) opens all news websites, with another (Ctrl+Shift+M) I open all my email accounts, and so with other combinations I open other sites like Google, Youtube and software applications that I use frequently.

What is Splat?

Splat (Simple Program Launching and Termination) is a program that allows you to build launch profiles that can include the following: 1) Launching applications, files, folders, URLs, etc., 2) The closing/killing of processes, and 3) Starting and stopping of services. You control the order and you can also insert two types of delays in between actions: 1) Time-based delays (wait n number of seconds before going on) and 2) CPU-usage delays (wait until the CPU usage gets below a certain percentage). Hotkey support is extensive; each launch profile can have its own hotkey or you can use one hotkey to launch multiple profiles. Profiles can be launched via the main interface, hotkeys, or the tray icon. Usage examples include:

?Startup profile to control the timing and order of which apps you want to start after booting your computer. ?Pre-gaming profile to close/kill/stop unwanted processes and services. ?Post-gaming profile to open/start those same processes and services. ?URL groups to launch sets of websites. ?Development profile to start up your IDE, debugger, etc.

If you plan to use the service starting/stopping functionality, you must run this program with administrator rights.
