I love it! The full-screen mode and Browsa windows are great.

To bob1601, Jing is a nifty little app, but ScreenFlow is a totally different animal. Jing has a 5-minute limit and no editing. ScreenFlow has a great editing timeline and all kinds of amazing zoom, mouse hilighting, and other features that make it a good choice for more professional results. I had a few crashes (a couple of versions ago) when I tried it, but it's the best thing around for easily making a great looking screencast.

I like Jing. It works well, and it totally saves the day when you're forced to use Windows (like I am at work) and Skitch isn't an option. Good for short little screencasts (like for bug reporting, or to quickly demonstrate something).

Why would you use this instead of TrueCrypt? I'm not dissing, I'd just like to know.

Great little app! The only thing I'd like is on options to set a default timeout period (so I don't come back in the morning with my iMac still wired and wide awake on caffeine).

gtcaz: you did see the "Activate for..." submenu when you "command click" on the coffee cup, right? So currently it defaults to "forever" but you can override that for a given session with the "Activate for..." menu. Were you asking for a way to change the DEFAULT timeout from forever to something else?

This app fits the bill perfectly! The only quirk is that it doesn't seem to recognize a right-click on the menu icon...you have to control-click. Maybe that's for nostalgic reasons...LOL. An extremely useful little app.

Anyone here know if it's possible to turn Caffeine ON/OFF via Quicksilver so I can use it to create a keyboard shortcut? Thanks in advanced!

viewer, Caffeine is scriptable. Open it with Script Editor to see its scripting dictionary. I'm sure you could run an AppleScript with Quicksilver.

Thanks for the help! Is it possible for me to make a script that turn caffeine on if it is off and off when it is on? Thanks in advanced!

I emailed the developer. The person who responded was extremely helpful. For anyone else trying to learn how to do it, enter the following script into the Script Editor app (which should already be installed in Mac OS X):

tell application "Caffeine"
if active then
turn off
else
turn on
end if
end tell

I love this app, but like some of the other commenters, I really didn't much care for its icon. Anyone looking for a change, I've found two coffee-cup icons that work really well as a replacement, and look a lot better than Caffeine's icon.

download (Instructions for replacing icons are also included.)

Hi, and for those of you wanting to automate some just add this in your script editor, and save it as an application with "stay open" checked:

on idle {}
my caffeineCheck()
return 5 -- execute every 5 sec.
end idle

on caffeineCheck()
if application "QuickTime Player" is running then
tell application "Caffeine"
turn on
end tell
else
tell application "Caffeine"
turn off
end tell
end if
end caffeineCheck

Excellent, essential software. If you don't have it, get it. No kidding. With all the passwords, addresses, credit cards, and so on we deal with these days, 1Password is the best way I've found to manage them, securely and in sync across multiple computers.

Also, Dave and Roustem are super nice guys, and very responsive. Development in incredibly active, releasing new versions to adapt to any browser or OS X updates within a day, usually. Bravo!

1Password is a fabulous product. I was unfamiliar with the product until I received it as part of the MacHeist bundle. Now, it would be very difficult for me to function without it.

I love how it works with every browser on my Mac without my having to keep anything in sync. It is the first product that I have ever used that has finally broken me of the habit of using easy-to-remember, low-security passwords for most of my logins. I use "strong" password for all of my logins now. It's packed with features and effortless to use.

I would be remiss I failed to praise the 1Password team. Every time I have had a question, I have received a prompt, personal reply that was helpful and gracious. They are really nice guys who actually seem to appreciate their customers!

I've only just started using the app after getting it as part of the MacHeist bundle, but I'm already in love with it. Everything requires an account these days and as password restrictions can differ greatly from site to site, 1Password keeps it easy. I'll be getting an iPhone in August and I look forward to using the my1Password service in conjunction with that device/my other computers.

Also, their customer service is indeed top-notch.

I couldn't live without 1password, I love it! I would recommend it to everyone. The support is great, they get right back to you if there ever is a problem and are very friendly and personable. And the features just keep coming, they're always adding something new while there is no upgrade cost to the software.

Although you can already store your passwords on the iPhone with the 1password software I Can't wait for the iPhone app they're working on, then everything will be complete.

1Password is a must have application for every Mac user… and now for every iPhone user as well! It is very easy to use and a no-brainer for anyone wishing to keep all their online website login data secure and handy.

I've been using this application for about 1.5 years primarily with Firefox - I have been very happy with the application and impressed with all the upgrades. Thanks very much, I look forward to more great apps from Agile in the months and years to come.

Outstanding App! It is withouta doubt the most used app I own. I use it every time I have to login to any website. This application is a secure, very secure, place to put all your sensitive info... Software Licenses', Credit Cards, Bank Accounts, Login Info. Helps me saves time when filling out online orders. Very much worth the cost. Its my mini Ft. Knox on my MacBook.
