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.

  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.

  Audiobook Builder

  Do you rip to iTunes®, then carefully move every imported track to a special playlist before syncing with your iPod®? If so, you already know what that means. Hundreds of confusing track names show up on your iPod and clutter up your iTunes Library, making it harder to find actual music. There’s no way to save your place and come back later. And, if you forget to change the Importing settings in iTunes, your Audiobook tracks take up way more space on y our iPod than necessary because the human voice often needs less than half or even a quarter of the storage music requires.

  JollysFastVNC

  JollysFastVNC is a VNC client which aims to become the best VNC client on the Mac. When I started ScreenRecycler I thought that there are enough VNC clients out there to support it. When the program started to get useful I realized that the VNC clients available on the Mac were pretty slow and people were complaining about the speed of ScreenRecycler. I was using VNCThing at the time which proved to be acceptable on PPC Macs but does not run on Intel Macs. Without a proper viewer people can't access ScreenRecycler in a way I imagined. So I started programming JollysFastVNC to enable people using ScreenRecycler. As I got a few mails about the VNC capabilities of JollysFastVNC I decided to enhance the program to be a fully functional VNC client. It's still in the early stages of development, even though somewhat usable and fast..

  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.

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.

  MoKgVm2DVD

  MoKgVm2DVD is an OS X application that provides the tools needed to prepare .ogm and .mkv files for use in DivX enabled DVD players. These players typically require videos to be in AVI container files (i.e., have .avi extensions) using any of the following codecs:

  Video: mpeg4 (e.g., Divx or Xvid) but not h.264

  Audio: mp3 or ac3 but not ogg/vorbis or aac

  Most players will also support separate subtitle files. Typically the subtitle file must have the same name as the .avi file.

  MoKgVm2DVD will let you select the tracks from the .mkv or .ogm file and either copy the tracks to the new .avi file or, if needed, re-encode the track(s) using the XviD codec. You can also extract any of the tracks into separate files.

  The table below shows the current abilities and limitations of MoKgVm2DVD based on limited testing. Please let me know if you have different results.
