During MACWORLD Expo SF, MindVision Software announced a new do-it-all launcher type application, MindControl 1.0. MindControl simplifies the performance of repetitive tasks, and allows users to easily organize their desktop. In celebration of their release of MindControl, MindVision is holding a contest offering users a chance to win an iBook. According to MindVision:
MindVision Software announced MindControl 1.0, along with a contest for MindControl users, at MacWorld Expo today. MindVision will give away an iBook and other prizes in the "How I use MindControl" contest.
The latest release in a new family of consumer utilities, MindControl helps people work faster, organize important items and give the trackpad a rest.
MindControl makes it easy to open applications, documents, folders, server volumes and URLs in a few quick keystrokes. With MindControl, you spend less time navigating and more time working.
Along with saving time, MindControl saves valuable screen space. Unlike launcher utilities, MindControl stays out of the way until you need it. Until then, MindControl uses absolutely no screen real estate. Once it finishes its job, MindControl steps out of the way.
Use MindControl to quickly:
- open frequently used applications or documents
- visit favorite web sites
- create and address new e-mail messages
- switch between applications
- switch between open windows in an application
- tell your Macintosh to restart, shut down or enter sleep mode
- launch AppleScripts to automate your Mac
- open Finder selected documents with a specific application
- open desktop items with a wildcard character
- unmount/eject volumes
