that's probably because evernote took their 'inspiration' from a proper mac application. just take a look at Yep. It's not hard to see evernote looks a lot like Yep. |
|
This application is nothing short of amazing. It's somewhat hard to describe what it can do as it's so versatile: It can be a system maintenance tool, automate and insert text-snippets, trigger any automator/applescript file you want, launch applications (single or multiple), launch terminal shell scripts. It's absolutely wonderful!!!! It's made automator a lot more useful for me than before. Seriously underrated! Oh, and last but not least: great developer support!! |
|
Only just installed it and have to say that so far it looks and works absolutely wonderful. Thanks very much! |
|
which the developer's site would have a list as to which simbl plugin works with this and which doesn't. Just gave this another go, only to find 1password doesn't work. wasted a lot of time there. |
|
It's been a while since this was updated - is it still under active development at all? |
|
Have been using EagleFile intensively for about a year now, after switching from DevonThink Pro, which I'd used for years prior to EF. I'm really glad I made the switch. At present DTP be still be a wee bit smarter than EF when it comes to search, but that's the only advantage it currently has. EF has a much lower memory footprint, better OS integration, feels and looks more like an OS X application and doesn't store its documents in some database file. Plus, capturing webarchives in the background is much much faster So, for now, hands down winner. |
|
based on the screenshot I thought this was somewhat boring. Turns out it's not - instead it's beautifully simple and elegant. thanks very much! |
|
The best just got better! Should be on every designer's Mac!! |
|
I started using TimeMachine only just recently, in addition to Smart Backup. It annoyed me that I had so little control over it. This application solves a lot of those nuisances. It's simple, does what it claims to do, just brilliant: a well deserved 5 stars. Thanks very much!! |
|
It's back!!! Thanks very much! |
|
Being a big fan of Isolator, I was wondering if you might consider the following: currently the new betas allow you to either hide all but the forefront window or dim all but the forefront window. As I love both options, I'd really love to see you ad a shortcut for both, so I can choose either depending on what I need. |
|
gave the new version a try - after browsing just a few sites, OW was up to 200MB ram in no time. One word for that: ridiculous! |
|
to switch back to OW, I'd need the following: find-as-you-type & less ram use. A more up to date interface wouldn't hurt either (think Shiira!). I still think it's a great browser, well worth the money, but without the requested features I don't see myself using it any longer. |
|
I realy like Finderpop, but Unsanity's Ape would definitely be a reason to uninstall this. |
|
Oh Yes!!!!! 1.4b8 is the new FocusLayer!!!!!! I seriously can't thank you enough. Absolutely wonderful and as of now my number one essential utility on my Mac. As far as I'm concerned, this deserves 10 stars!!! |
|
what an absolutely wonderful program this has become. it's very very good, as well as very very fast, especially when doing smart updates. seriously recommended. also noteworthy is how response the developer is - offer really great service! |
|
I've been a FAP user since V1, and true, FAP 1 was so slow as to be unusable. FAP2 was marginally better, speed-wise that is. Version 3, however, really shone, and I found to be faster than other, including LFE. V4 is once again faster. True, FAP is catching up with LFE when it comes to features, but as nice as LFE is, when it comes to font handling, including (auto)activation, FAP is still the most reliable of all and still ahead of LFE at detecting font problems. As soon as LFE fixes these I'd switch in a heartbeat, because it's got the best gui, but until then I'm more than willing to pay an upgrade fee for FAP V4. |
|
I agree that Linotype's FE is the hands down winner when it comes to interface, however, FAP has way better font handling and auto-activation. A lot of fonts that preview perfectly well in FAP, don't preview in FE at all unfortunately. |
|
The new version installs and runs just fine, and it recognized my old 3.3 settings immediately. I have to say I love the new features, and speed-wise this is once again faster than the previous version. For me the best just got better and is still way-ahead of the competition. Now, if only I could buy an upgrade license, as the store doesn't mention V4 yet. |
|
I have been using this for several weeks now, and even though it's not feature complete yet, Things is easily GTD-like program out there. It's become an essential part of my daily workflow. Sure, I'd love to have integration with iCal etc, but I can wait, Things already does what most essential for: keeping on top of all stuff that's needs to be done. Seriously recommended! (btw - the 5 star rating is because Things does exactly what it promises right now!!) |
|
Sorry to read about the previous commenters' problems. I have had no such issues and can only say I really love the software. It runs great, have had my questions answered by the developer very quickly and am very pleased with the software. There's room for improvement, but even with the current features I think it's really good. |
|
Knox is one of the very few essential programs for me. I'm on a macbook pro and have various pieces of info stored on encrypted diskimages. Sure, I do do this by just using disk utility, but knox makes managing disk images so much easier, it's well worth the small fee. Seriously excellent!! |
|
It would be most most welcome is you (Insider people) were to post some sort of announcement on your site regarding Leopard support and when we can expect an update. I've been using FAP ever since V1, and have been a happy user since V2, however, informing their users of upcoming updates has never been Insiders strong point unfortunately. A shame really, as the product is outstanding! |
|
what a fantastic update! Much much faster and love the new quicklook feature. Stunning! |
|
Featurewise Omniweb is still in a league of its own. Sure, FireFox can do a lot of what Omniweb can, but you'd need a boatload of extensions. Nevertheless, I'm currently not using Omniweb, but Camino. That is because webkit-based browsers (like Safari and OmniWeb) gobble up ram like there's no tomorrow. I could use Camino all day long and rarely it uses more than + 80mb ram. Try and do the same with OmniWeb (or Safari) - you'd easily be looking at + 200 - 300 mb ram use. Plain ridiculous, but not Omni's fault. Here's hoping the problem gets fixed in Leopard's webkit, so I can return to my favourite browser again. |
|
wonderful software - use it all the time. I think this is easily the best software to sync bookmarks across browsers. Great product at a more than reasonable price! |
|
I'm already a Yep user, so I'm biased ;-). Just want to say this looks very, very promising. This feels like Yep en (Leopards) Finder have fused into one new powerful program. Looks really really great! |
|
I really love the way this application works. It has a great balance between look and workflow. For me, however, it has two shortcommings, which render is useless for me (for now that is!) 1) it use an insane amount of ram if you use and leave it open for a long time. 2) it still can't capture or import webarchives. Other than that, it's really nice and has a very useful feature-set. |
|
Fantastic news this!! Absolutely wonderful!!! Look forward to using this in Leopard. |
|
another huge fan here. sorry the company is no longer in business. should any of the original developers read this: firstly, I hope you've on to do other fun stuff. secondly, any chance of releasing the source-code? workstrip is to wonderful to let is disappear. |
|
any beta news to share? :-) |
|
indeed, does exactly what it says. Thank you very much! |
|
they're on a roll here!!! Brilliant - thanks very much! |
|
Indeed, QuickSilver may have (a few) more features, but only if you painstakingly search for, figure out and download the relevant plugins. Launchbar does everything 'out of the box'. Not only that, it does it faster, much much faster. Great update, thank you! It may not be free (the best things in life rarely are), but it's well worth the money! |
|
sadly, no reviews here just yet. Which is a shame because this is getting better and better with each release. Flux offers a new take on building websites. Visually this application looks stunning. Fortunately I also find it a please to use. Not quite there yet, but getting very close. I'll keep my eye on this one. |
|
Strangely enough there are no review here, which is weird, as this is an amazing piece of software. Great feature, easy to use, and (hey, I'm a Mac user) cool looking. Anyone even remotely interested in music/audio, give this a try. Wasting your time is hardly ever this much fun. Seriously recommended! |
|
that's not what happens here - I'd say, mail the developer. Oh, btw, I'm using the latest flash as well. |
|
do you select the files while holding the 'command' key? (silly question perhaps, but just checking!) |
|
the latest beta - 3.02 |
|
want you to know it works great here. |
|
absolutely fantabulous!! Glad to see flv download is back - brilliant! |
|
Seriously underrated, I think, and should be part of iLife. I use it all the time and feel 5 stars doesn't do it justice - it really is that good. So here, another 5 stars, both for the developer and the software! |
|
It works as advertised. Nothing wrong there. Wish it wouldn't depend on Unsanity's Aplication Enhancer. A reason for me not to buy this. |
|
An amazing developer with some really outstanding interface ideas. Not ready for prime time yet, but extremely promising. Thank you very much for al your hard work! |
|
I've had this for year and it's always worked as advertised. Outstanding support too. Seriously recommended! |
|
Nothing short of amazing! 10 stars!!!!! |
|
Nothing short of amazing. This tools has become an essential part of my workflow. I'm lost if it;s not on a Mac. Great tool, excellent developer too. |
|
That's great news - I'll be keeping an eye on Scrivener, that's for sure!!! |
|
Fantastic news - thanks you very much!! |
|
Unfortunately it is - but thank you very much for all your effort and suggestions. Much appreciated!! |
|
Problems with that solution is that the original source url doesn't get imported, or does it? |
|
Thanks for the reply. What I'm looking for is the possibility to capture webarchives either via a user-definable hot-ket (services menu?) or via a bookmarklet. I am familiar with the options you mentioned, but as I do research and save a lot of information form the web, the methods currently available won't do (as in, take too much time!) |
|
Very impressive indeed, and close near perfection. Just missing one thing: captures web archives. Give me that, and you've got another customer :D |
|
'Like' is quite an understatement!! Uno makes the OS X interface way more elegant! You, Sir, deserve a medal, both for Uno and for not making it a GuiKit!!!! |
|
Absolutely fantabulous and nothing short of amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you! |
|
spirited away is now available for intel as well! |
|
I need to quote this as I totally agree: " My biggest comment is "unbridled support anytime I need it. Always very professional and courteous." Outstanding software that just works, and works great too. |
|
Not only is this fantastic software, but the developer is very, very responsive as well. This alone is a serious plus in my book. As for the software, it work great, nice features and (for me) well worth the price. Yes, there are alternatives, but none with the feature-set of desktopple pro. |
|
Eventhough this is only a 0.2.3b release, this is already a wonderful application, and one that shows a lot of promise! Use it all the time. |
|
A very promising 1.0 release. Here's hoping it'll be the new FocusLayer soon. |
|
Thanks a lot for the tips. I bought and use Moru, but had forgotten all about SpotMeta. I will give it a go. Thing I like about Mailtags is that it not only tags files but also moves them to the relevant folders. |
|
Mailtags has changed how I handle and archive my mail. What a great application this is. Simple yet extremely powerful. Seriously recommended. Thanks Now, if only someone would write FinderTags :-D (hint!) |
|
Oh, but I do believe it's save, safety's not the problem, speed is! I have been a registered user of various Unsanity applications for some time now. However, shortly before switching from a dual G5 to a Macbook Pro, I removed all haxies from my G5, and found the GUI to respond much faster. I did try the new APE and Slider on my Macbook yesterday, and found that APE still effects the responsiveness of the GUI negatively. That's why I don't like APE anymore. |
|
I like this a lot, but wish it could run independently of APE. Because of the latter I don't use it. |
|
For some reason this seems to fall in the category 'love it or hate it'. Even though I'm neither end of that spectrum, I like this program. It's no Toast, but it does what it needs to do, at least for my needs. Never had any problems with it so far, and although the GUI is somewhat different, I think it look nice (a resize option of the main window would be nice though!) Keep up the good work. |
|
I'm a long-time DevonThink Pro user who, because DTP lacks Spotlight integration, is looking for an alternative. I accidentally came across this and upon first trying this I was immediately impressed. As CA already mentioned, for a 1.0 release, this is brilliant, seriously brilliant in fact. And the developer is very, very responsive too. Comparing NoteMind to DTP on just features, DTP wins hands down, easily too. However, judging NoteMind on usability and looks/interface, it's off to a flying start. It's a pleasure to use, and with just a few extra's, I can switch from DTP to NoteMind full-time. Judging by how the developer responds to feature-requests, I feel this shouldn't take long. Excellent work, thank you! |
|
Seriously excellent and quite indispensable! This should be standard on all Macs! |
|
Once again thanks for the wonderful program that PDF view is and for the amazing speed with which you add features. |
|
Launchbar is indeed brilliant. I do wish the interface was updated though. On larger screen, Launchbar looks rather tiny. Otherwise still no complaint. It's fast (as in: very fast!!), smart, simple and stable. None of the competitors combine these features. |
|
Great program, I'm using it all the time!!! Thanks a lot! |
|
Wonderful application!! Great interface too. Thanks. |
|
What's with all the hash criticism? Quite unnecessary I think. Uno is a stunningly beautiful theme. Also, it's for free and runs with the need for any of Unsanitie's Haxies. What more could you want? The developer is very open to suggestions as well, but if I were him I'd be severely peed off after reading the various comments here below. To all those who complained, if there;s anything you don't like about Uno, just write the developer and ask for changes nicely. Another 5 stars from me - I'd hate to use Tiger without Uno! |
|
You can use this to run applications without dockicons: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12516 I use it on my Macbook Pro and it runs great. |
|
Instant Brian Eno - really really cool. Export to iTunes would be neat. |
|
Two words: Absolutely brilliant. It makes using Wikipedia not only much more fun, but also way more useful. Thanks! Looking forward to updates |
|
Very promising start this. Work absolutely wonderful, and has already got a place in my dock. I look forward to updates! |
|
Absolutely gorgeous, and much much nicer than the standard Apple version! Thanks a lot. |
|
A very elegant copy of the Windows Taskbar and very useful too. A little short on features at the moment, fairly stable and it show a lot of promise. Keep up the good work. |
|
This really shows a lot of promise I think. It allows you to focus on the forefront application but dimming the the other applications. I really love this idea and would love to see the feature set, which is somewhat limited at the moment, be expended. Great idea, I look forward to updates. |
|
Despite all the raving reviews and despite the fact that this is a great application it still can't match Font Agent Pro's Font Checking and Auto Activation capabilities. I'm an absolute font fanatic with loads of fonts and I find that FAP still handles fonts slightly better. I will follow the development of this and try new(er) version as it shows a lot of promise, but for me, it's not quite there yet. So, back to FAP. |
|
Installed this a couple of hours ago, imported all my fonts and was up and running in no time. I had been using FontExplorer on my Macbook because I found FAP to run to slow under Rossetta. What can I say. Extremely happy to be able to switch back to a native FAP (fontexplorer is not my cup of tea!). 3.3 is flawless, as ever, very, very fast. The best font manager on the planet, in my book anyways. To those who have tried FAP before v3, give it another go, you be pleasantly surprised. The one flaw it had then, speed (as in slow) has long been solved and it's font-checking features have only gotten better. You guessed it, I'm a fan. |
|
Maybe not the most stable of browsers, but then, it's only beta. If you want stable, download the 1.2.2 release. The new GUI and features in this 2.0 release, however, are something else. Very, very impressive indeed. Love the new shelf, tabs and full-screen mode. Can't wait for the final release. Hats off for the developer of this! |
|
I suggest you read this: http://macintalk.com/index.php?id=136 |
|
Been using this for a long time now and it just gets better and better. Great program, great support. 5 stars doesn't do it justice :D |
|
Thanks for updating it! Much appreciated. |
|
YES, UB at last!!!!! Thank you!!! I've tried other (who shall remain unnamed) but for me this is the best. Great set of tools, great interface and most amazingly of all, it's still free. Thank you very much! |
|
Great feature set and some well-cool ideas!! Not to sure about the darkish interface. A built-in iTunes theme would be most welcome. Excellent start - will keep an eye on this! |
|
This looks very promising indeed. I do have a few wishes though: 1) A preference setting that allows me to show more than 3 previews in the floating preview window (have a look at F10 launch studio or Exposé even!) 2) Allow setting the thumbnail size of the floating preview window. 3) More preview file-support (f.i. bmp etc) Otherwise no complaints. Personally I think $14 is fair enough, but $ 9.99 my have a more positive psychological effect on potential buyers. Keep up the good work. |
|
It looks nice, but..... it doesn't work properly yet. I expect this to find stuff by typing just the first few letter of an application, so, When looking for, say, Logic, or Rax, I type "log' and 'Ra'. Does it come up with application suggestions, sure, but the right ones? Nope. Like others have said, Namely is free, so are the way more versatile Butler and Quicksilver. And if you want something versatile and really really fast, go fo Launchbar (like I did). The latter isn't free but well worth the money, me thinks. Still, this looks nice, but $15 ins indeed a tad expensive for what it does. Back to the drawing board I suppose. |
|
This has worked perfectly so far. I was wondering if there will be a Universal Binary soon? |
|
Still much much faster than all the others and enough 'bell & whistles' to allow me to do what I want. Still, some developer feedback on when we can expect an enhanced interface would be very nice indeed. |
|
Excellent - Never new Spotlight didn't index text clippings (which I use a lot btw). Thanks a lot!! |
|
Excellent and very very useful too. Thanks! |
|
especially combined with this: http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/ibeams/ |
|
Very very nice this. Simple, powerful and elegant. Would love to see previews of pictures in future releases and a somewhat lower memory footprint, but otherwise just great!! Thumbs up!! |
|
How about fixing Quicktime export files that Windows computers can play? A fix that's way overdue. |
