“move a little, do a lot”

Have just stumbled across a very cool productivity app for OSX. I’m already a big fan of Quicksilver, and FlyGesture builds on that style of functionality albeit from your trackpad.

FlyGesture is activated like Exposé or Dashboard, bringing up a transparent window of “guides” to move your mouse through. Moving your mouse through the guides lets FlyGesture know what action or actions you want to be performed, such as closing a window or opening an application. Not getting it? Here’s a movie that demonstrates creating and using a new gesture to open Safari.

And like all great Mac apps, it’s free!
