Adds system-wide menu to right side menubar, and more. Shareware ($9.50)
ASM (Application Switcher Menu) is a small utility that adds a system-wide menu to the right side of the menubar. This menu lists all of your open applications, so you can easily switch between them. And you can set ASM to automagically hide other apps when you switch to another app! This is one utility you must have! Brings back the application switcher menu (and more) to Mac OS X. It's highly customizable and offers some nice extra features, such as Classic Window Mode (orders all windows of an application to front when it becomes active) or Single Application Mode (automatically hides
What's New
Version 2.3:
- Adds compatibility with Mac OS X 10.6 a.k.a. Snow Leopard, though the dock menu feature is currently not supported and possibly never will.
- ASM 2.3 is a free upgrade for existing customers who purchased a license after 2009-02-28. Otherwise you have to purchase a new license. This is a change of policy, in the course of nearly seven years updates were free for existing customers. At the same time I set a substantially lower price for ASM: 6.99 EUR (plus taxes) for a single user license.

Subject: Kagi - Frank Vercruesse URL blank / broken?
Date: October 17, 2011
Dear Mr. Vercruesse,
I directed a friend of mine to your ASM utility site
When he went to Kagi [ http://store.vercruesse.de/ ] URL, all he could see was the sentence:
" I would like to purchase from Kagi, the following items supplied by Frank Vercruesse : "
instead of links for purchasing a license for either:
ASM v2.2.12 (v651) for OS X 10.3 - 10.4.11
ASM v2.3 (v700) for OS X 10.5 or later
He tried clicking on the "Add to cart" link, to see if it would work, and got:

X-Assist still seems to work with Snow Leopard. It's a little bit primitive compared to ASM, but the basic functions (i.e. application switcher menu and classic window mode) are there.
Meanwhile, Jack Overfull says that he's working on a new version of multiXFinder (v0.4). At the top of the list is Snow Leopard compatibility. It should be available sometime this month. That's good news for people who like the way that ASM operates, since it's basically the same app.
Personally, I'm debating whether to pay the upgrade fee. I've been an ASM user for several years and had assumed that the upgrades would continue to be free. But, nothing lasts forever, I guess. I'll probably try X-Assist for a while, then multiXFinder when a 10.6-compatible version arrives. If they don't work out, then I can always ante up the dough for ASM again.

The developer of MultiX Finder seems to indicate that (s)he isn't actively working to rewrite any code for this free app , which used to be SUPER and was very much appreciated, btw! (S)He also mentions that the developer of ASM "abandoned" it back in 2001, so my guess is that were stuck with this curious shortcoming of the Mac OS.

This seems to happen with every Mac OS update, the developer usually responds quickly to fix the problem.

In addition, the price is right, and it works as advertised.
In summery, a Mac essential.

On my old machine, I also don't get the annoying "System Preferences must quit and reopen" message, nor the words "32-bit" in the menu title.
