I use this widget for every Woot Off. From time to time there are sync or stability issues, but generally speaking they get addressed fairly quickly by the developer.
Not freeware. There's apparently a data limit, then it's $29.95. Good luck finding out what the limit is. It's not on the developer's site (that I can find), nor anywhere else.
Why the hell should I have to register and get a serial just to TRY this software? I don't even know if it does what I want it to do. Why should I hand out my personal information if there's a chance I'm going to launch it, find out it only skips tracks (and doesn't FF or RWD), then throw it away? What's the point of requiring a serial for freeware?
Gave this a try because Time Out development is stalled, and this seems to be (suspiciously) close in functionality while being a background app, which Time Out 2 is supposed to become (having to CMD+tab past Time Out drives me crazy).
It's a little buggy (e.g. slider for selecting short-break time periods doesn't work correctly), and I wish the "give me 1 minute" and "give me 5 minutes" buttons when the breaks come on were to DELAY the break, not EXTEND it (who needs that?). But overall I like it...
...EXCEPT...
BeHealthy is a RAM and CPU hog.
Time Out uses 0% CPU between breaks, and only 4.7MB of RAM.
BeHealthy uses 7.9% of CPU between breaks, and 49.3MB of RAM.
Tried to find contact info for the developer to point this out, but to no avail. Hopefully this will be resolved in future betas.
I've made NicePlayer my default. More flexible and better keyboard controls than QuickTime. Easier to use (and 10 times smaller) than VLC. It doesn't have bells and whistles, but it does everything I need, and does it as well or better than anything else I've tried. I hope the developers keep it up to date, although that's looking less and less likely. :(
Or you could download HoverZoom, and have the same kind of functionality all over the web:

FANTASTIC idea, but it strips too much from the page. When running Less IMDB, you no longer get links on an IMDb entry to trivia, quotes, alternative versions, connections, soundtracks, photo gallery, awards, etc. All the extension needs to to leave IMDb's "quick links" menu in place, and it would be great.

MailForge
No email app exists anymore where you can perform the following search:
Find all messages from joe@smith.com unless recipients include sara@jones.com.
Sadly, MailForge has the same search parameters as every other email app: Find Any, or Find All, and that's it.
For the record, after a long search and trying about 20 apps, I settled on Postbox.
