Launch an app in a snap. Ridiculously easy shortcut management for the Mac.

"I like Snap because it’s simple and allows me to quickly open apps using easy to remember shortcuts — always faster than heading over an icon with your mouse cursor." - MacStories.net

"No mousing equals increased productivity. ... Simple, straightforward, easy to remember, and as inexpensive as an app can get." - Mac360.com

FEATURES 

Automatic Shortcuts
Snap automatically assigns keyboard shortcuts to apps pinned in your dock using a modifier key (command, option, control, or shift) and the number keys. For example, command+1 opens the 1st app in your dock, command+2 the 2nd, etc. Rearrange or add new apps to the dock and the shortcuts will automatically reset.

Manual Shortcuts
Set a custom shortcut for any app on your Mac. Open apps faster than you can say "Launchpad".

App Peeking
Press a shortcut once to reveal an app window, and again if you want to hide it, allowing you to quickly glance at running apps.

Release notes:
- Fixed + and - buttons in the Manual tab
- Apps are now sorted alphabetically in the shortcut list
