Windows/Mac/Linux: Launchy, the little application launcher that could, has introduced a Mac version with its latest beta. Bug fixes, performance overhauls, and new shortcuts and controls are also baked into this beta for every system.
As the developers themselves note, "Not much else has changed" in terms of appearance or basic function for Launchy, but, then again, those changes may be in the works. Many have noted that with Windows 7's surprisingly powerful Start menu searching, Launchy has a need to differentiate itself and find other functions to justify the use of a dedicated, if very fast and nimble, application launcher. By improving the ease of skin creation, stabilizing the build, and improving performance, the Launchy team is hopefully clearing the way for strong plug-ins and functionality—not that Launchy can't already do quite a bit of heavy lifting.
Launchy is a free download for Windows, Linux (x86 and 64-bit), and, as of this release, Mac OS X. Lifehacker East lacks a testing Mac, so if you give it a go on your system, do tell us how it's running in the comments.
