Helps me get rid of duplicate entries in the Launch Services database ( --> "Open With..." dialog in the context menu of the Finder...)
Allows for broadband tweaking, interface changes, ...
This app is a life saver for OS X power users. Its worth every penny and then some.
Great app, but I'm not sure it's worth the $15 given that other programs do the same for free.
Pointless. Everything that this app does can be done in Terminal, for free.
It's also not very well written - some versions of it actually, through stupid programming, revealed your admin password to everyone on the machine, by doing something in the form of
echo "your password" | sudo some_command.
Want a real replacement? Try Clix.
Yes, you can do all this in Terminal. But some of us prefer a visual UI, and this one is almost perfect and quite elegant.
The market for these kinds of apps is kind of crowded these days. I registered Cocktail in 2002 when maintenance apps for OS X were few and far between. This app is still one of the best and well worth its price.
Version 3.8 features a gorgeous interface overhaul ... the best just got a whole lot better!
