“NoodleMac is home of the 9 Word Reviews for Mac software. Not too much, not too little.”
Marc Moini’s one trick pony with extra tricks to enhance scrolling on your Mac. Makes scroll wheel or trackpad smoother, faster. Goes in reverse and uses keyboard, too. Nice.
Smart Scroll offers smooth and easy iPhone-like scrolling… Other features include Universal Scroll Keys that let you scroll from the keyboard, FileMaker Pro and AppleWorks enhancements, and more.
9WR - Smart Scroll: Utility improves scrolling, reverses, adds keyboard scrolling, grab scroll.
One of my absolute favorite Mac photo enhancing utilities. If you’re bored by iPhoto and fearful of the dreaded Photoshop learning curve, then try point and click photo effects.
Funtastic Photos is a “non-permanent and easily reversible” photo editor for macintosh computers, with over 50 simple to use 1-Click Styles, an Advanced Effects engine, direct sharing via e-mail, Fun Cards, Cell Phone (inc. iPhone) and popular photo sharing sites (such as flickr, Facebook, Picasa & MobileMe). Funtastic Photos features a creative print layouts system, with awe-inspring projects, including photo mosaics, greeting cards, photo cubes, mini photos books and more.
9WR - Funtastic Photos: One-click, non-destructive photo effects editor, popular online photo sharing.
It’s a crazy name for a very unique and useful Mac utility. All Macs these days come with screen sharing built right in. That means you can view and control a nearby Mac right from your Mac’s keyboard and screen. ScreenSharing Menulet makes it easy. From Dan Frakes of Macworld on screen share connections:
ScreenSharingMenulet aims to make such connections easier by providing a menu-bar menu that lists any computers on your local network with Screen Sharing (or Remote Management—aka, Apple Remote Desktop) enabled. Choose a computer from the menu and the Screen Sharing application launches and initiates a screen-sharing connection to the chosen computer.
9WR - ScreenSharingMenulet: Menu Bar utility makes Mac screen sharing simple, easy.
Everyone wants to manage your money these days. MoneyWell takes a different approach. Think digital envelopes. Think buckets. Lots of easy access reports, schedules.
Powerful personal finance organization and analysis tools in a simple, single-screen solution. Without running complex reports or having to trudge through six levels of pie charts, you’ll know immediately if your spending is on track.
9WR - MoneyWell: Gentle learning curve, comprehensive ‘envelope’ budget management, one-click reports.
Weather information stuffed into a Dock icon. Also does weather in a window, the Menubar, the Desktop. From the same developer who does Dashboard KickStart. Excellent.
WeatherDock 2 has added many features allowing you to display weather information the way you want it. The new features include a fully customizable icon, a desktop icon and a menu item.
9WR - WeatherDock: Free weather utility displays current conditions in the Dock.
Yes, Virgina, there are other browsers besides IE, Firefox, and Safari. Here’s the latest not-very-popular but competent and attractive browser from Alexander Clauss. I like the error protocol which identifies sites with crummy HTML. Free and Pro version:
Certainly, iCab has much more features than you can examine in one day. Try it once, and you will see it has addressed all your needs, and iCab can grow with you, to fully meet your personal tastes and preferences -with much wider choices and options than any other browser!
9WR - iCab: Unique web browser, quirky features, granular controls, crazy tabs.
Seemingly weekly update of a useful, feature laden context menu utility to move, copy, alias, and zip files without moving around the Finder, without drag and drop. Very handy for context menu users.
It is a generalization of the Finder’s “Move to Trash” contextual menu item, you can apply it to any folder you like.
9WR - MoveCM: Right click to move, copy, alias, zip Mac files.
