Comments from those who selected Quicksilver as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008

  • "a Mac only onboard tool which makes it a snap to find open and work on anything on the computer. Keyboard driven. Free"  Kate Foy
  • "The Swiss Army knife of Mac applications, Quicksilver locates files ala Spotlight, launches applications, performs simple manipulations on files, controls iTunes, and much much more. There's a rumor going around that Blacktree is going to stop development of Quicksilver, and the most recent release seems very buggy when running under Leopard. But it's still a sine qua non among Mac apps."  Robert Talbert

Comments from those who selected Quicksilver as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2007

  • "I'm still trying to get my head around how it works and how to best incorporate it into my workflow but it has potential to really be a big help"  Audrey J Williams
  • "I use this application for everything (really everything—sending quick emails, running search queries of sites like amazon, wikipedia, or google, cropping photos, manipulating files, launching applications . . .).  In fact when I sit down at a Mac without Quicksilver I feel like I am working with only half a computer"  David Parry
  • "An amazingly powerful app for doing stuff with other stuff. There's no way to describe it, or how wonderful it is. Just download it and start using it."  Robert Talbert
