Dropbox
Vinkri reviewed on 09 May 2012
Dropbox is for me a revolutionary solution to store data in the cloud with a local access through your regular Finder (or Windows Explorer, or tablet, or phone...).
Back up is now easy, Time Machine has become of no use with the history feature. You can't imagine the amount of stuff you can do with dropbox.
Of course, it's only 2 Gb for a free account... but hey, in 10 days, I was able to turn my account to a 20 Gb storage capacity. Free. That's enough for me, as I don't want to put my whole iPhoto library or my iTunes collection...
Perfect for sending big files, hosting a small website, setting up collaboration, synchronize data...
I absolutely love it.
Google Drive is a similar solution. So, no use for a battle, here. I use both and I'm happy with it.
Pagico Professional
Vinkri reviewed on 06 May 2012
But today, the game changed:
I found the app to be easy to use: it has an intelligent understanding of what the user wants to do.
The dashboard is a very efficient: a complete view of "what's next"!
And wherever you are in the app, all relevant data are linked and they can be accessed through the interface (which is, if I may, much more friendly than Devonthink).
The good thing: whether you are a fan of GTD or Agile or any other productvity method, Pagico can adapt easily to it.
Some regrets? Yes, maybe... It's not as open as Devonthink. But hey, not many apps can have 5 stars!
CleanGenius
Vinkri reviewed on 08 Apr 2012
I ran both programs and CleanMyMac found 220 Mb of junk stuff while CleanGenius found 80Mb...
The uninstaller is OK for both. Even better than AppDelete, sometimes.
However, CleanGenius has some interesting features CleanMyMac doesn't:
Duplicate finder
Free memory
Disk space monitor
...
So if the addons are important to you (and they should be), CleanGenius is a good tool. However, the core feature is not the best. Far from it.

It works, but the options and the manual is almost impossible to understand.
Anyway, if I need to get a Mobi file out of an epub file, without any specifics, that'll do.

Sigil
Vinkri reviewed on 08 Apr 2012
Of course, it looks like a Windows software: anti ergonomic and for geeks only.
But hey, it works, and it's free.
LIMBO
Vinkri reviewed on 19 Mar 2012
However, Limbo is a real gem.
The graphism is a pure amazement of simplicity. The music is an essential component of the tension. It's really terror building.
Not very difficult, so very fun to play.
Wait for the middle of the night, stay alone, put your sound on and launch Limbo... You won't regret it. Or maybe you will, but you'll love that.
Flush

But if your flash cookies are flushed, then the original price is displayed...
Anyway, Flush is easy to use, it works and it's free...
xScan
Vinkri reviewed on 18 Mar 2012
Anyway, some things have changed since my first comment:
- price dropped from almost 30 bucks to less than 20
- an update introduced some functions to optimize your system
What's good:
- a great interface
- very easy to use and to understand
- the alert system is efficient
What's not so good:
- MacOS X internal tools (system pref, activity monitor...) give the same amount of information
- Alerts are not useful for every user. And in case of an issue, how do you react?
So if you believe you need Xscan, you probably need a more complete tool, like Techtool Pro.
If you need that kind of stuff, I assume you don't really care about the ease of use and the interface.
HyperImage
Vinkri reviewed on 23 Jan 2012
Unfortunately, it's quite unstable, heavy and not very efficient.
No way to stop the search. Download is automatic, you can't select your pictures in the results and then download them.
Or maybe you can, but it's not intuitive. Therefore, it's not an app I can like...

Camtasia
Vinkri reviewed on 23 Jan 2012
It's not the most intuitive software, really.
But it's packed with features.
It's not lightweight.
But it's powerful.
It's certainly not the best, but I like it.
