Get ready for spring... clean-up, organize and more...
Fred Showker
It's March, Easter is just around the corner, so spring is at our doorstep. Here's a dozen apps that may just come in handy for spring cleaning and tune-ups. Enjoy this week's download fun!
Home Tidying Up is an application that allows users to clean up their Home folder by finding duplicates, old files, and the largest files. Users can specify the possible folders and/or files to be excluded from analysing, the minimum age in days and the minimum size listed.
GarageSale 1.3 is a client application for eBay that allows Mac OS X users to create auctions using an intuitive Mac-like interface, integrated with iPhoto and offers WYSIWYG text editing. Changes in version 1.3 include support for 'Item attributes,' auction start time specification, a search field that lets you filter templates, and eBay Switzerland and Austria support.
MimMac is a utility that enables users to perform backups, full system clones, and data migration. This release fixes bugs that: caused MimMac to include items that the user had chosen to exclude, allowed access to root level files, and caused cosmetic issues.
Family Bank can help you manage financial transactions between family members. It was especially designed to help children learn how bank accounts and interest work, by allowing them to manage real money, under the supervision of their parents.
Name those Files! is a powerful batch renaming utility that allows users to easily rename large numbers of files or folders using advanced numbering, trimming, and search and replace capabilities. The update improves speed for many operations, adds parent folder variables, and improves help.
WebHome is a content management system that helps users run a dynamic website for a business or organization. This version incorporates a large number of bug-fixes and "smoothing of rough edges" from the 2.0 release.
Hallon can create bookmarks in many applications that otherwise would not offer bookmarking. "You can bookmark your favorite songs, an email that you have to reply to later that day, some documents that you are working on or the contact information of a friend whom you need to call before the end of the week."
Skype is a peer-to-peer Internet telephony system available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Users can also make calls to regular phone numbers using the low-cost SkypeOut service.
FastScripts 2.1 is an update to the utility for executing scripts on your Mac. Major new features include: application-specific keyboard shortcuts, improved script error dialogs, redesigned preferences dialog, and AppleScript language updates.
HyperEngine-AV lets you create professional-quality movies with great flexibility. Version 1.5 removes the licensing fee, and fixes a number of minor bugs.
BugReporter is a developer tool for improving customer feedback in the event of a crash. BugReporter captures Mac OS X "Crash Logs", allowing them to be sent directly to the appropriate developer.
RF Toolbox is an antenna design package for amateur (ham) radio operators, and other radio enthusiasts, as well as those in the communications professions. The latest version adds a tool for designing helical (helix) antennas.
