Howells.

I remember earlier this year when Rik Lomas and Lawrence Brown laughed at how many things I had in my dock (really?!).

They were using an app called Alfred that apparently negated having an endless row of icons stuck in one’s dock, by simply typing the first few letters of the app – or in fact anything you needed – in a modal box accessed by pressing Alt + Space.

A few weeks of slight awkwardness an inconvenience later, I couldn’t use my Mac without it.

A good tip to start using the app is to delete every non-core application from your dock beforehand, and then you’re forced to use it.
