Short answer: JoyClick lets you pin frequently used folders and applications as favorites so they are one click away in the right-click menu.

Favorites keep the folders and apps you use most within reach. Instead of navigating through Finder or Spotlight, you can open a pinned folder or launch a pinned app straight from the context menu.
