Bevy is a unique
application launcher that automatically discovers your applications
and neatly organizes their icons into groups based on the folders
that contain the applications.
Bevy searches a specified list of folders and creates a group for each folder. It comes with a set of standard pre-defined application locations, but you can add and delete folders if you have your own unique way of organizing applications in the Finder.

For the ultimate
convenience, Bevy can be shown and hidden by a variety of
methods...
In addition, you can hide rarely used apps and un-installers so they won't clutter your window.
And Bevy uses Spotlight to stay up-to-date. When you remove apps, add apps or just move them around, Bevy updates its view to match.
- By pressing a global hot key combination
- Using its menu bar icon
- By clicking its dock icon
- Or with a cursor hot spot

Purchase
With the
introduction of the Mac App Store in Snow Leopard 10.6.6, you now
have two options for purchasing Bevy:
Purchase and download through the
Mac App Store for $9.99
Bevy can be found in the Utilities category of the App Store.
Requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or newer
Download from this page and purchase using Bevy's integrated
web store for $9.95
After downloading, simply choose "Purchase Now" from Bevy's
application menu and you'll receive your serial number with your
receipt.
Requires Leopard 10.5 or newer
(old download still available below
for Tiger 10.4)
Please
Note: If you purchase through the App Store, you will only
receive updates through the App Store mechanism. If you download
from this page and purchase using Bevy's integrated store, you will
only receive updates through Bevy's built-in Sparkle update
mechanism.
For the time being, we will provide Bevy through both purchasing mechanisms. Apple did not provide a mechanism for publishers with paid apps to support existing customers through the App Store, so it is impossible for us to update our existing customers through the App Store. For existing customers to get updates through the App Store, they would have to purchase the app again through the App Store and that just isn't acceptable to us.
While each purchasing mechanism technically requires its own unique version of the application, both versions will be equal in features. However, the release date may be slightly different due to the review process that happens with the App Store which is not required by distribution through this web site and the Sparkle update mechanism.
