  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.

  Boot Camp

  Boot Camp is a MacOS X.5 Leopard feature that manages to install a (licensed) Windows XP or Vista operating system on a Mac computer in a dedicated partition.

  A program called Boot Camp Assistant helps in creating a new disk partition on a Mac machine keeping all the data safe. When Windows is installed on that partition, the drivers needed can be found on Leopard DVD.

  Boot Camp installs a bootloader to choose the operating system to load. It can be run at startup by pressing ALT button. Boot Camp even provides an automatic PC Key remapping program.

  All the drivers Apple provides are Microsoft WHQL-Certified.

  This program used to be a public beta before Leopard's final release. Now it continues to work on Tiger systems but can't be downloaded any more from Apple's website nor it is supported on any OS than Leopard.
  From early version of Leopard, it seemed that one could perform a system hybernation on both system to fast-switch between the two. Now this feature is not present.

  Little Snitch

  Little Snitch is a software firewall that protects your computer against unwanted guests from the Internet. But who protects your private data from being sent out? Little Snitch does!

  Little Snitch informs you whenever a program attempts to establish an outgoing Internet connection. You can then choose to allow or deny this connection, or define a rule how to handle similar, future connection attempts. This reliably prevents private data from being sent out without your knowledge. Little Snitch runs inconspicuously in the background and it can also detect network related activity of viruses, trojans and other malware.

  m3u2mp3

  M3U files are simple text files used to "stream" MP3 files. You can find them at many excellent sites like CD Baby and Magnatune. Sometimes, you might want to keep the real MP3 file, instead of just streaming it. This program (m3u2mp3) does just that!

  On Mac OS X, the app should just run as is. You can can drop one or more M3U files on it, and it will fetch all the MP3s referenced in the M3U. If you use Finder's Get Info to associate an M3U file (or all M3U files!) with this app, you can just double-click on the M3U file(s) to launch them with m3u2mp3 and download the MP3s.

  Mouseposé

  An essential tool for everyone doing presentations or demos. If turned on, it dims the screen and puts a spotlight on the area around the mouse pointer, easily guiding the audiences attention to an area of interest.

  Of course, there are other uses as well. If you have a large screen, it helps you quickly locate the mouse pointer when you return to your work after an interruption. Visually impaired people tell us that it helps them as well.

  Hitting a user definable hot key turns on the Mouseposé effect, dimming the screen and putting the mouse pointer into a spotlight that makes it easy to locate. The desktop behind it remains functional, so that apps can be used while Mouseposé 2 is turned on. With Keynote 3, Apple even added a setting that allows you to use Mouseposé 2 with the popular presentation software.

  Schreiben

  Word Processor. Simple. Fast. Centric.
  Schreiben was my first application for Mac OS X.
  I needed a fast, clean and easy to use word processor which opens in the middle of the screen. I don‘t like the behaviour of other word processors you first have to center on the screen. Three years later Schreiben is still one of my favorite applications and because other developers let me learn from their code, I did not use Word for years now.

  Schreiben is based on the Cocoa Text System – so you can open and write RichText and Word Files. With version 3.0.1+ you can now open and save .docx (Word 2007) and .odt (Open Office Documents) and if needed export Word Documents with Pictures.You can create tables, drop and resize pictures or even write XML. Schreiben has got an integrated statistic (Character, Words, Lines) so you won´t miss your editors/teachers defaults. Schreiben can be used in Fullscreen View, supports Smart Quotes, automatically saving from documents with selectable interval and many formatting features that will help you creating well styled pages, writings, letters or even whole books. You can also store often used Snippets (so you don't have to start from scratch if you want to write a letter for example)…
