Butler makes it easier for you to perform a wide variety of potentially recurring tasks. Just arrange these tasks in Butler's fully customizable configuration and assign one or more triggers to a task.

Available Triggers

• freely configurable system-wide menus in your menu bar/Butler's docklet
• freely configurable pop-up menus -- triggered via hot key or hot corner (see below)
• abbreviations -- e.g., enter "qt" to launch QuickTime Player
• hot keys -- e.g., hit [F1] make iTunes switch to the next track
• hot corners -- e.g., [shift]-[right mouse button click] in the lower left corner of your screen to pop up a menu that lists all system preference panes
• events -- e.g., launch iChat when Butler starts up and the [option] key is not held

Possible Tasks

• launch applications
• open files
• access preference panes
• manage bookmarks
• search the web
• run AppleScripts
• extend the pasteboard
• enter text snippets
• simulate keystrokes
• control iTunes
• more...
