services menu manager

Wouldn't the services menu be much more useful if it weren't overcrowded by services you never even thought of using? With Service Scrubber, you can:

  • restructure the services menu
  • change service keyboard shortcuts
  • disable services

Doesn't work on leopard - see their blog for an explanation. In a nutshell, you can no longer remove the entries associated to 'signed applications' - meaning that most apps can no longer have their entries customized. I tried it on my macbook and while on 10.4 I was able to remove almost everything, on 10.5 I could only remove 2 applications entries (out of 50+). Shame.

1.1.4 fixes the problem with scrubbing protected system applications thus making them unusable.

You should be careful using this app, it can lead to problems with Apple Mail. Over at Leopard Tricks they reported about this.

Would this be safe to use in Leopard?

Brings the service menu back into a usable state. And it's also nice to be able to reconfigure the keyboard shortcuts associated with the services. Sometimes they override the default shortcuts in applications. Use this in conjunction with HotService and you've got a really nice services experience. Although HotService doesn't work yet for Intel Macs :(

I actually stopped using services because the menu got all cluttered and it was too messy. Thanks to Service Scrubber I can now enjoy OS X Services again and really YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON SOMETHING if you don't use Services in OS X.
