Alfred is one of several apps that usually get referred to as “launchers.” The idea is really simple: by hitting a keyboard combination (usually control space), you get a text box that lets you “do stuff” on your computer. The most common things you might do include launching other apps, searching Google, and searching for files. It’s all controlled by the keyboard and possible options appear as you type — so launching “iTunes” often just requires you to type “it” and hit enter. Alfred learns your preferences as you use it — if you’re constantly searching for a file or app, it’s more likely to make that your first option. (via TheVerge)
