This is not your father’s outliner. It’s more of an organizational tool. Outlines? Yes. It also collects and organizes data, manages tasks, tracks expenses, plans events, even handles multiple columns.
Use OmniOutliner’s document structure to create hierarchies of main headings and subpoints that can be expanded and collapsed, which are immensely useful when it comes to brainstorming new ideas, drilling out specifics, and lining up steps needed to get everything done. But you aren’t limited to outlines - you’ve got multiple columns, smart checkboxes, customizable popup lists, and an über-innovative styles system at your disposal.
9WR - OmniOutliner: Enhanced outliner with super organizational power, collects, and manages information.
Somehow I neglected to provide a mini-review for a utility I use every day for over 10 years. DragThing. Simply put, it’s a floating, expanding, customizable dock that holds icons to all your favorite Mac apps, utilities, games, documents, hard drives, folders. You’re one click away from almost anything on your Mac. DragThing is highly configurable, loaded with customization options, and multiple docks or multiple tabs, or both. Highly recommended.
The original dock designed to tidy up your Macintosh desktop. It puts all your documents, folders, and applications just a single click away. Highly flexible, it allows multiple docks, each customised to suit your exact needs.
9WR - DragThing: Indispensable, feature-laden, easy-to-use launch dock for applications, folder, documents.
You know you need these. It’s what collectors do. Collect the whole set of free video effects for iChat and Photo Booth (Leopard only). Instead of communicating with a clear video image, really screw it up for those on the other side of the camera.
Is your iChat partner getting on your nerves? Talking too much? OMG! Change yourself into a Pong video game and drop the hint that a real conversation, like Pong, is best enjoyed with equal airtime. So much fun it comes with a warning on the label: “May cause compulsion to grow seventies sideburns.”
9WR - CatEye: 24 iChat, Photo Booth video effects—70s deva vu.
The perfect utility for Mac newbies. TinkerTool unleashes hidden features and settings in Mac OS X without damaging your system. The TinkerTool System adds even more features.
TinkerTool is an application that gives you access to additional preference settings Apple has built into Mac OS X. This allows to activate hidden features in the operating system and in some of the applications delivered with the system. All preference settings changed by TinkerTool can be reset to Apple’s defaults, or to the state that existed before using the tool. No dangerous background processes are used for TinkerTool’s operation.
