AutoFiler
Oct 29 2009

FONTBOT  It's a bit disconcerting to examine just how closely this app resembles an existing utility called Hazel from Noodlesoft. While it's not uncommon to find different apps that perform similar sets of functions, AutoFiler's feature set and especially its user interface are nearly identical to Hazel's. I'm all for competition, and AutoFiler even seems to improve upon some of Hazel's features while charging half the price. It just seems awfully coincidental that two independently developed apps would end up looking so much alike.

xGestures
Oct 24 2009
*****

FONTBOT  Having become hooked on mouse gestures in Windows — using the awkwardly-named app "StrokeIt" — xGestures was like a savior when I started using OS X. While xGestures doesn't recognize curved or diagonal gestures like StrokeIt does, as the developer points out this can actually be an advantage, since your gestures are less likely to be misinterpreted. Aside from that, xGestures' practical range of options and extensive list of actions make it very flexible and easy to configure to one's working habits. It's a must-install app on any Mac I use.

uTorrent
Oct 21 2009

FONTBOT  It was mentioned in the discussion on the uTorrent site that the toolbar icons, at least, are just placeholders and not final (0.9.3 is presently an alpha release). No mention of the other UI regressions, but one can hope that they will also be revised as development continues.

Jubilee Screen Saver
Dec 3 2008
***..

FONTBOT  This is basically a slideshow featuring over-exposed photos of Christmas lights. The type that millions of amateur photographers take every December. "Museum quality" is going a little far. The transitions and color options are nice but limited.

Sprite Swarm
Aug 10 2008
****.

FONTBOT  Simple but well done, the movement of the sprites is so fluid it's almost spooky, as if there's some intelligence behind the motion, like someone shining a laser pointer on your screen. It's rather entrancing for a minute or two, becomes less so as they multiply. Allowing the user to set the colors would be a nice addition.
