  1Password

  1Password is a Password Manager that uniquely brings you both Security and Convenience. It is the only program that provides Anti-Phishing protection and goes beyond password management by adding Web Form Filling and Automatic Strong Password Generation. All your confidential information, including passwords, identities, and credit cards, is kept in one secure place provided by Apple's OS X Keychain.

  1Password browser extensions support Safari, Camino, Firefox, OmniWeb, DEVONagent, NetNewsWire, Netscape Navigator, and Flock. All browser extensions share the data stored in the keychain which means you never need to manually copy your passwords between browsers or from the password manager to a browser ever again!

  1Password has received numerous awards, including 4.5 mice from Macworld magazine, MacLife Editors pick, and was the Pick of Week on MacBreak Weekly by both Leo Laporte and Merlin Mann.

  Uninstalling on Mac OS X; let's solve it once and for all!

  What can be considered the exact opposite of dragging an application to the Applications folder? Opening another application, dragging the unwanted application to that application, clicking a button, clicking another button, quitting? Nope!

  AppTrap is a completely free utility for uninstalling applications on Mac OS X.

  SplashShopper iPhone Desktop

  SplashData has been around on the Palm platform for years - often with associated desktop clients, but with the advent of the iPhone, they've (naturally) tried to make inroads into that market, as well.

  With SplashShopper, they've succeeded pretty well. The best feature of SplashShopper is its IP-based syncing with the iPhone version (which, annoyingly, you have to purchase separately from Apple's AppStore). If you own an iPhone and a wireless network, you can simply do all your work on the desktop client, and then have it sync immediately to your iPhone for your shopping trip. No more emailing shopping lists to yourself, no more iPhone lists which lack the ability to check boxes, cross items off, or delete things.

  Only slightly behind the sync ability is the ability to create multiple, unlimited lists for whatever you wish. SplashShopper comes pre-loaded with about a dozen (groceries, gifts, music, movies are just a few), but you can easily delete the ones you don't think you'll use, and add as many more as you wish.

  Last but not least, for those who do a lot of grocery shopping, there is the ability to import items into the grocery list specifically from the older HandyShopper, the new MacGourmet Deluxe, or a CSV file.

  Xslimmer

  Xslimmer reduces the disk space taken up by Universal Binary applications preserving just the Intel or PowerPC version.

  Xslimmer is a new and user-friendly way to size down your Universal Binary apps, without losing any of their functionality by removing the code inside the Universal Binaries that does not fit with your machine's architecture, a code that never gets executed and just wastes your disk space.

  In addition, Xslimmer can strip out unneeded languages. Safari is available in more than a dozen languages, Adium in more than 20. This is great, but how many of those do you need? Xslimmer allows you to select how many languages you want to preserve in your apps and will remove the rest, recovering lots of precious free space from your disk.

  Now fully Leopard compatible!
