Automator in the Morning
November 24, 2008Every morning I open the same applications and rather than type each of them into Spotlight or open them one at a time from the dock I made an Automator application to do this for me. Automator comes with OS X and it is easy to create your own:
Open Applications » Automator
Choose Custom in the splash screen that pops up
Type launch into the search box in Automator
Drag Launch Application into the working area on the right
Use the pull-down menu to select the application you want
Repeat for all the applications you want to launch together
File » Save As » Application
Now you can just type a few letters into Spotlight to get started every morning or place it in your dock if you’re a dock user.
