I've been trying out beta versions of AppButton for a month or so, and now version 1.0 has been released. It's even better than I had thought! Besides having the best way to find and add apps to your custom lists and categories on the widget's preference "side," the final release also has a simple app search thingy that you can pull out on the widget's face. Each app it finds can then be quickly added to existing categories. Man, what a steal at Zero Dollars! If you're not already using one of the many menubar-based launchers, or the keyboard ones (Quicksilver, etc), you could increase the utility of your system just by using this little fella.
