Foreman

This is great. I'm excited for the CL version so I can integrate it with Alfred. By the way, I knew exactly what this app did 2 seconds after page load. Cheers.

I really like this app. My current way of doing this is keeping everything inside Launchpad folders and opening them individually. Foreman seems to solve this daily issue. My…

Wow, great idea! I haven't tried the app yet, but if it immediately shuts off other applications when switching to a group, I think that needs to change, or at least provide a…

I could tell you were being tongue-in-cheek so it didn't put me off. The Steve Jobs part actually got a chuckle out of me.

I liked the text – I agree, it's a simple idea and there isn't that much too say. On the other hand, I read the whole page – a first I think for a linked app on here.

I agree. The copy comes off as authentic and in a way is refreshing to see. It's just a dude who made an app and is having some fun with it. Good on him.

EDIT: Just to be clear, because I missed it, the app doesn't HIDE other applications it aggressively CLOSES other apps. Including some background processes, system preferences…

The terminal close didn't work this way, normally it won't quit if there are processes in the windows. With Foreman it just closed up. I was kind of surprised at the behaviour,…

Love the idea. Congrats on launching. I've tried a number of apps to manage OSX's clunky alt+tab, but none have worked out long term. The only thing that keeps me from trying…

it crashed Outlook. Also, it would be nice if it stayed open in the menu bar up top.

i guess i'm doing it wrong, but dragging any app from dock or /applications does not work. icons just zip back to where i dragged them from. snow leopard 10.6.8. :/

I like the idea and congratulations on your first app. My only criticism about the landing page are some of the superlatives put me off slightly (e.g. Foreman Switches Your Apps…

Might want to work on your website's copy. "What a pain in the ass!" and "Holy smokes!!!!!" doesn't instill much confidence, to be frank.

One big mistake, you show a screenshot without any real information. Wow! Awesome!.... What the fuck is it good for?

I'd be nice if you could just _hide_ apps not in the group, not kill them... But I guess that would mean they still show up in command-tab. It sounds like you're forcefully…

If you read the website it does say it closes the apps. An easy solution to your problem would be to add a "whitelist" where you can specify apps that Foreman will NEVER close.

For the record, I totally got what is supposed to happen. I wonder if you should have a list of apps that can be configured to be ignored. For instance, I always have emacs open…

Very nice app. I would add the possibility to drag from the dock and a group for never closing apps (such as mail or browser). Many thanks for sharing on github. BTW, would you…

Looks like fun, and I'll have a play in a while. A couple of things from the top of my head; Alfred integration would be cool, currently I keep nothing in my dock (other than…

Eventually I'm going to release a command line utility that does the same thing. You'll do something like define a .foreman file with design "Photoshop CS5" "Google Chrome" and…

Can you please sign the app with a developer certificate?

Thanks! I wish I could add it to the AppStore but unfortunately I can't sandbox it, so it would never get accepted. One nice thing about Mountain Lion (not sure if it's true for…

In the interest of fairness I've tried a couple of times. On Lion, this is crashing consistently and automatically closing all the apps added to Foreman and some random apps…

I'm sorry that happened to you, Ensorceled, and I hope you didn't lose any work. The way it's supposed to work is, if you click on a horizontal row then it opens all the apps in…

It will close any open app not listed in the app group that you just clicked on. So, for example, if I don't have Excel in any of my app groups and I click on an app group that…

Thank you :) As far as I know, any app that's active on the dock will show up in the task list. You might want to try out Witch - I'm not 100% sure that it does what you want,…

Another way to save app-switching sanity: Get 9 or 10 work spaces. Set up command+number keyboard shortcuts to switch to that number. Use a single app on every workspace. Scales…
