Cronette	Oct 20 2008	FREDB launchd has replaced cron on OS X. Lingon is a graphical user interface for creating an editing launchd configuration files for Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 and it's free. (Version 1.0)		+10

JERRY KRINOCK I tried Lingon a few months ago, but found that the mean time between Lingon crashes on Mac OS 10.5 was about ten minutes. Also, Lingon would not "load" the command (using launchcntl, if I recall correctly), so your changes would not take effect until you logged out/in. So, if I needed a scheduling utility I'd give this Cronette a try.

Terrible name choice, though, for something which is not supposed to use cron and I presume uses launchd. Should have called it Launchette.

FARDILHA Strange.

I use Lingon all the time under 10.5 and it never crashed on me.

DONPERREAULT I agree, it is difficult to read text typed in all capitals.

RegExpress	Oct 26 2007	FREDB This is the best application of its kind. The ability to use different regex engines is fantastic. Just one request: I'd really love to be able to use this app entirely from the keyboard. I don't need it, so I don't care, but I can't figure out how to use the new replace function...

SafariSpeed	Feb 12 2007	FREDB Sorry, but this is hilarious. The pref to change this so called delay is dead since Safari 1.3 and it was the maximum delay, not the minimum. People seeing a big difference should definitely stop smoking. According to the Safari dev, disabling the cache should be useless too. Anyway, charging for features so easy to do for free is a bit silly. If you want to kill favicons, change the look and a lot more, check SafariStand. (Version 2.1.1)		0

RCEnvironment	Feb 10 2007	FREDB Why use a GUI? What's so hard about using the command line only? ;) BTW, you need to insttall the dev tools to have Property List Editor. (Version 1.3)		-6

ZuluPad	Sep 24 2006	FREDB Bad ripoff of VoodooPad. Was it necessary to imitate the name too? Seriously try the free VoodooPad lite and compare, you won't hesitate long. ZP has less features, is less stable and is butt ugly. The only advantage seems to be that it's cross platform, and I don't care about that. (Version 0.3.8)		0

JUKI Some of us would love to consider Voodoo lite in lieu of ZuluPad but Voodoo requires Tiger....a minimum of OS 10.4.6, and ZuluPad requires just Panther....OS 10.3. A good number of us are still using Panther.

ZANGIEF And some of us (like me) are using Leopard. Some of us (like me) got it on the premier, too.
