MaxMenus back in the day was perfect for my workflow, I could barely live without it on my mac. Sadly it's been a shadow of it's former self, little or no updates, zero new features and the Dev's website; well thats another issue entirely.
I thank the makers of MaxMenus for the effort, and I know that some may be single persons that are developing various softwares like this one all on their own and I applaud them for that. However, it makes Dev's look bad and gives the whole idea of "shareware" a bad name when they seem to abandon their programing efforts especially when making it a commercial product. I have kept MaxMenu's installed from version to version of Mac OS in hopes of seeing some improvements but haven't seen anything. I've never enabled it under 10.6 and when 10.7 hits mac app store, I guess I'll give it a try (maybe). I do miss using it a lot and hope that all is well with the developer (I know life can get in the way if your single programer making a product) and maybe one day we'll see a revamped version that will be the envy of all OS X utilities. Personally I've tried others and the structure of this utility seems to fit me far better than any other.

It's also good news because the Proteron site is just a home page -- everything else gets a 404.

What a difference!
Loads __much__ faster at startup and You Control doesn't hang my 10.6.6 system up the way MM has been doing for at least a year.
Also it has lots of features MM does not have.
MM was good in its time, but it hasn't kept up.

Click on the link to their site and you will see that their contact and support pages do NOT exist!
And their last user manual was 'updated' in 2002.
Pathetic!

Over the years I have emailed Proteron many times and just rechecked my emails and do not see even one response from them.
This app hangs 10-15 seconds every-single-time it launches and I have been after them for well over a year to help me with this.
Nada... not one response.
I'm switching... this is pathetic.

Alas, I cannot help but think this app has run its course. Still, it's been a good ride.

Also, this is the only app of this kind that allows "grabs" of items, a feature which at this point causes it to crash.
If they addressed the grab issue, it just might be worth buying.

WorkStrip allows HotMenus to appear under the mouse via Hot Keys.
Snard allows menus to appear under the mouse via a keyboard shortcut.
You Control also allows menus to be invoked via Hot Keys.
FinderPop can be invoked anywhere via a simple mouse click.
IIRC other applications also include some Grab functionality. Not all are exactly the same, but there's quite a bit of overlap among them.

No only did MM hang, I had to log out & in.
FWIW, I do find it most strange that this app has been resurrected, but the Home Page and associated links have not been updated.

I just bought this thru the MU discount, but the product's web site has been down for several days now. Emails returned, too. Not sure what is going on.
