MacJournal

Kzx72 reviewed on 13 Dec 2011

I've used MacJournal off and on for a while and consider it probably the best journal program available for the mac platform.

For aspiring writers, script writing, novel writing you really can't go wrong. Comes with audio capture, a WriteRoom styled full screen option, the ability to encrypt documents...also has an option to add pictures and songs from iTunes.

RedQuits

Kzx72 reviewed on 12 Dec 2011

So far, it works with every program I've tried on my computer, native or otherwise.

Useful if you don't want unnecessary program windows being left open all over the place. I like using the command Q option to shut down an app but since switching to OS X, I miss being able to simply hit the red button to close an application.

RedQuits solves this dilemma I've had for years on my macbook.

Dev - When I log in or restart OS X, the RedQuits preference window is there on my desktop. Any way to permanently hide this?

CleanMyMac

Kzx72 commented on 11 Dec 2011

Developer - could we please have an option to disable the nag message whenever one puts a program into the trash and schedules it for deletion:

"Uninstall selected objects? Are you sure you would like to uninstall the selected objects? Selected objects cannot be restored"

The same way Apple allows you to disable this trash warning in Finder preferences, it'd be nice to have it for CleanMyMac. TY

Quicksilver

Kzx72 reviewed on 11 Dec 2011

Great to see quicksilver finally being updated again. Easily the best launch utility ever and one of my top 5 favorite programs personally, maybe number one.

The options for this thing are limitless and I'm always finding new ways to use QS that I didn't even think were possible. Will make a donation as an appreciation for the service.

You Control: Tunes

Kzx72 reviewed on 10 Dec 2011

I've been using You Control Tunes for about a month now and I like it enough to write a quick review. The registration only takes a minute to fill out and doesn't intrude on your privacy. For the paranoid user still concerned about this issue, block the program with Little Snitch.
YCT is a timesaver app. Designed so you don't have to switch back and forth between open programs and iTunes every time you want to change or pause a song. It sits on the right side of the desktop menu bar and has a drop down arrow with hotkeys and customizations. Hasn't crashed yet and is a free download.

Hear

Kzx72 reviewed on 25 Nov 2011

More that an equalizer. Loaded with features, you notice a difference in speaker quality the minute this program is installed on your computer. Highly customizable allowing for all kinds of sound configurations. Recommended,

DiskWarrior

Kzx72 reviewed on 17 Nov 2011

Can't count how many times this program has salvaged what should have been un-salvageable hard drives. Invaluable for disk repair and recovery. Read the overwhelmingly positive feedback below to get an idea of how one of a kind it is.

Right Zoom

Kzx72 reviewed on 11 Jun 2011

Work great going left to right but up and down (on Firefox for example) there's a thin horizontal gap revealing part of my desktop wallpaper that doesn't fill the entire window frame. This should be built into apple by now but since it's not, here's a suggestion for a future release: "Down Zoom"

BootChamp

Kzx72 reviewed on 31 May 2011

Exactly what I was looking for. Smart app, excellent menu bar icon - 5 stars.

Transmission

Kzx72 reviewed on 10 Apr 2011

I'm hard pressed to say anything not positive about Transmission. It's a fast, lightweight client that rarely hangs on my system and doesn't take up a ton of resources. Slick interface that's easy to customize even for new users. Doesn't come with the plug ins you find in other programs but I prefer an "essentials only" BT program to a bloated one with a ton of useless features.

Winclone

Kzx72 had trouble on 14 Dec 2011

For unknown reasons, Bootcamp support & VMware tools needed to be reinstalled when my partition was cloned from the main hard drive to secondary.

After running Winclone and copying Bootcamp partition, it took two restarts for the operating system to fully recognized Windows - CHKDSK cycled through a couple times. The right mouse button wouldn't work initially until the support software off Snow Leopard was reinstalled.

To anyone looking to use this program, I highly recommended downloading the CNET link user Tempel provided in an earlier post (many of the others download links were incompatible with my version of OS X; 10.6.5)

Winclone

Kzx72 had trouble on 13 Dec 2011

Can someone help me out with this one?

I've been trying to create a clone of my BootCamp partition for a while now and Winclone just won't do it.

Every time I attempt to create an image, the program finishes in like 4 seconds and gives a blue screen like error of death in the message log. I've tried switching options under, "When cloning an NTFS partition" in preferences and it still won't go.

Is there like a combination of boxes I need to check in preferences to get this application to operate correctly? Has anyone else had similar issues?

Would appreciate any feedback as it's an application I would like to use...
