ShortCutter

As the years roll by in our digital age, I can’t see too many new ways of doing things. It seems like everybody is trying to reinvent the wheel, but it still has no sides to it. Nothing new or different has crossed my computer in some time now. Well, that was the case till I gave ShortCutter a shot.

Here is what the developers have to say about today’s free download:

ShortCutter is a small program (or folder) launcher. Its interface is design to be fast and effective. When running, it stays in the system tray which it waits to be activated through a user-defined hotkey.

Then it immediately launches and the small squared interface pops up centering the mouse pointer to the center of the application. From there the user has a set of choices all gathered around the mouse pointer. A center button minimizes the program back to the system tray. Around this button there are four smaller buttons. The top left and top right buttons navigate through the Shortcut Groups which are configured from the Settings Window where the user selects which Shortcut Button will launch what. The bottom left closes the program and the bottom right opens the Settings window.

All these button so far activate an action by mouse-clicking. The best part of the program is that the actual Shortcut Buttons (which are located Top-Left, Top, Top-Right, Left, Right, Bottom-Left, Bottom, Bottom-Right around the program window) triggers the action by mouse over. After that, it minimizes to the system tray again.

I know some of you like to see the download in action before you try it out for yourself, so check out the screenshots and be ready to be blown away by something different. You might flip through some of the documentation as well, so you can get a better idea of what this download does and how to get the most use out of it.

Overall, I would say this freeware download is one of the most innovative programs I have seen in a long time.
