“NoodleMac is home of the 9 Word Reviews for Mac software. Not too much, not too little.”
Significant update to the very clever utility which builds SFTP/FTP/SSH into your Mac’s Finder. Your remote computer shows up as a mounted hard drive on your desktop. Unique, easy to use, a little slow, but well done. New version is notably faster and connects to Amazon S3.
ExpanDrive gives you perfectly transparent access to open, edit, and save files with your favorite programs, even when those files are half a world away. Transparent means that you don’t even notice you’re operating on remote files—they act like they’re on an USB drive you plugged directly into your own computer.
9WR - ExpanDrive: SFTP utility, connects to remote computers via the Finder.
Minor update to the popular general purpose maintenance utility. Checks disks, runs system maintenance, clears caches, optimizes network, clears logs, keeps things tidy under the hood.
A scrumptious mix of maintenance tools and interface tweaks, all accessible via a comprehensive graphical interface. Most of Cocktail’s major features are arranged in five basic categories. In addition, a Pilot lets you clean, repair and optimize your system with one click of the button.
9WR - Cocktail: Maintenance utility, Leopard interface tweaks, Pilot for repair, optimization.
Niftiest screen capture utility that truly Thinks Different. Layers captures everything on your Mac’s screen, and saves the individual graphic elements as Photoshop layers. It even captures a whole web page that’s longer than your Mac’s screen. Way cool.
A different and unique screenshot capture tool for Mac designers, developers, technical writers, documentalists and Photoshop aficionados. With Layers you capture every item on your screen—dock, menu and status bar, finder icons, application windows, etc.—as separate layers in a PSD archive.
9WR - Layers: Screen capture utility saves every items as a PSD layer.
Ken Humbard’s delightfully useful recipe organizer which features an online library of recipes from users, a full screen view, and a wine and spirits manager. An older, though detailed review.
An easy to use recipe management app focused on four aspects of recipes. Organizing, Sharing, Cooking & Shopping.
9WR - YummySoup: Recipe organizer with online recipe library, wine, spirits manager.
Why is something that should be so easy really so hard. Try printing a list of files in a folder using the Mac’s Finder. PrintFinder does well what the Mac doesn’t do well. It prints a list of files in a folder. Not bad for free.
PrintFinder will generate a list containing both a heading and a list of your files… with a real-time preview… export to a file as .txt, .rtf, .pdf, .doc, or .html.
9WR - PrintFinder: Free utility prints list of what’s inside a folder.
Major update for a different kind of screen capture utility for Mac users (Leopard and Snow Leopard). Records the whole screen and a video camera at the same time. From Telestream, the same folks who produce Flip4Mac, VideoCue, WireCast and other very good applications.
Using a unique new screen capture system, powerful enough to capture the contents of your entire desktop at the same time as your video camera, microphone and computer’s audio, it’s simple to create beautiful screencasts.
9WR - ScreenFlow: Screen capture with edit, export, compression, mouse highlights, motions.
Free utility to run OS X system maintenance, configure hidden features, muck around and customize your Mac. A more detailed review.
Configure some hidden parameters of the Finder, Dock, Dashboard, Exposé, Safari, Login window and of some of Apple’s own applications, to delete caches, to remove a certain number of files.
9WR - OnyX: Enables hidden Mac features probably hidden for a reason.
