“NoodleMac is home of the 9 Word Reviews for Mac software. Not too much, not too little.”
Geeky tool manages and monitors network performance and mapping by device and in real time. Geeky but cool.
SNMP and ping probes discover and query elements across your distributed network - whether it spans several rooms, a building, an office park, or distributed locations. Synthetic transactions test critical applications and alert you to email, web, or directory server problems.
9WR - InterMapper: Network performance, device mapping tool monitors networks in real-time.
Good way to delete all the accompanying files created by an application you want to delete. Crowded field of utilities. CleanApp was our favorite, though new version has been buggy. AppZapper has a nice interface and best sound effects. AppDelete, like AppCleaner, is free.
AppCleaner is a small application which allows you to completely and properly uninstall unwanted apps. It isn’t, in fact, sufficient to just delete an application. Installing an application distributes many files throughout your System using space of your Hard Drive unnecessarily. AppCleaner can find all these small files and safely delete them.
9WR - AppCleaner: Utility deletes application and other associated files and preferences.
Totally a one trick pony. TimeMachineEditor works only on Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard to change the backup interval. Instead of one hour, change it to whatever period you want.
Change the one-hour interval of Time Machine backups. You can change the interval or decide to make daily, weekly and monthly backups.
9WR - Time Machine Editor: Editor which changes Time Machine’s default one-hour backup interval.
Yet another PDF utility. Prepares PDF documents for print-shop specifications. Joins PDFs, rearranges, splits, adds and edits hyperlinks.
Now you can print out your manuals, reports, essays, articles, web pages, etc., in a convenient and economic way. You can even create books for languages that read from right to left like Arabic, Chinese and Hebrew.
9WR - PDFClerk Pro: PDF utility joins documents, rearranges pages, adds editing features.
Yet another Menubar application and file launcher. Set up categories, icon size, add files. Barely not bad. Developer’s complete description of aLunch:
You can chose to display icons at 32 pixels or 16 pixels. Files and folders can be registered with aLunch as well. Folders will be opened in the Finder. Different categories can be registered by using groups and separators.
9WR - aLunch: Now how many items are in your Mac’s Menubar?
Let your children use your Mac? Right. Like that will happen, and despite AlphaBaby, a Mac utility which lets children use your Mac without destroying your Mac. Uh huh. Right.
My kids love to play with the computer. Unfortunately, they also have the habit of renaming my hard drive to ‘axlfkaj.’ So, I wrote AlphaBaby so they could safely use the Mac without inflicting too much damage!
Too much damage? What do you expect for free?
9WR - AlphaBaby: Hides Mac screen from children, adds fun keyboard effects.
Popular writer’s tool. If there’s a book inside you waiting to get out, try Jer’s Novel Writer. Elegant but with plenty of useful writing features.
Jer’s Novel Writer is a relatively simple word processor with extra features to support large creative writing projects. This program is all about momentum, and reducing the number of things that break the flow when I am writing. Jer’s Novel Writer is designed to help me keep writing when the creative juices are flowing, and then find all the things I need to go over again when I am more in a nitty-gritty mood.
9WR - Jer’s Novel Writer: Writer’s tool; margin notes, auto outlining, full screen, database.
