Could anyone suggest a mac version of portableapps.com's launcher? I miss this when I work with Macs.

It has links to applications and folders. Of course in this case it should be completely portable.

I think that we can solve with a custom opener that is a folder with portable apps alias in it and a custom background.



1) Create a new folder on your on your portable drive (or copy OS X Portable Apps Opener one).

2) Create an alias for each Portable Applications on your portable drive using File->Make Alias (⌘L) or drag your Portable application icons with Alt+⌘ key press.

3) Do it for each of your portable applications and also for some folders.

4) Then arrange icon and text size on View>Show View Options (⌘J) window.

If you like it you can use this image as background.

P.S. Have PortableApps.com preferences copy function so that you can copy your preferences from your hard disk to your portable one?
