  AppFresh

  AppFresh helps you to keep all applications (third-party and Apple), widgets, preference panes and application plugins on your Mac up to date, from one place. It works by checking the excellent iusethis.com for new versions and lets you download and install available updates easily.

  AppFresh not only gets update information from iusethis.com. If you have an user profile at iusethis.com you can manage it from within AppFresh and control which applications appear in your profile, even automatically. We can only recommend you sign up, it's free and lets you see how many users use a certain application. In AppFresh, the full iusethis.com application page with comments and links to similar apps is always just a click away.

  AppFresh can capture the installed version of an application along with your preferences and application data and store it in a safe place. This way, you're covered in case you decide you liked the last version of an application better. Create as many snapshots as you want to make sure you don't lose anything.

  AppFresh is currently work in progress, and we're not even calling it a beta. Make sure to check our development blog regularly. You are welcome to leave your feedback or suggestions for improvements there.

  AppZapper

  Everybody loves the drag and drop nature of OS X. Drag an app into your applications folder, and it's installed. You'd think it would be that easy to delete an app - just a matter of dragging it to the trash. But it's not. Applications install preferences, caches, and other support files throughout your computer that take up space and generate clutter. Deleting these by hand every time you delete an app is a pain.

  jQuery

  When Wolfgang Bartelme and the Prototype crew first launched their OSX widget, we jQuery folk tried not to covet. Try as we might though (truth be told) we wanted one too!

  Fast forward a few weeks later: I'm on a plane heading to our headquarters in Menlo Park. Eclipse (and a bunch of other technologies) are serving me our app via localhost--nice! ...that is, until I needed to reference those pesky $.ajax parameters!

  With that in mind, and the remainder of the flight, I threw together a jQuery reference widget. It's been of value to us front-end developers at Medallia, and now we're returning some love to the jQuery community with this public release.

  The widget provides simple, searchable, offline access to the API. More, we've provided the ability to search older APIs, as well as a few quick-links to online resources.

  Per Resig's suggestion (and thanks John for all your help), we're releasing this with an MIT license and have made it available under version control.

  We hope you find it of value!
