Barton Springs Software LLC, is based in Austin, Texas, and takes its name from the beautiful natural springs along Barton Creek and the Colorado River, where Texans have long congregated for a refreshing respite from the oppressive Texas summers.

Today’s release, Switchblade, is a new take on application switching. Switchblade provides a simple menu item that watches your application usage in the background and presents your most-used applications in a small menu and doesn’t add extraneous features such as those that slow down other popular switchers.
