DropCopy 1.5
DropCopy (free for up to three users, then $25/site) is a tool we use daily to quickly transfer files from one Mac to another on our network, or to an iPhone or iPod Touch. It’s simple to use: Just launch this utility on two or more Macs, and a translucent circular “drop zone” appears on each Mac’s desktop. Drag any file or folder onto the circle to see the names of all DropCopy-enabled Macs. Drop the file onto one of the names, and it gets transferred to their desktop as quickly as your network allows. This version adds the ability to drop files onto an iPhone, if you install Mobile DropCopy ($5) onto it. Mobile DropCopy also lets you copy files between iPhones and iPod Touches without using a computer, and view the content of PDFs, Word documents, movies, and more.
Hide Folders 2008
Hide Folders lets you hide files and folders. You launch the program, select folders to hide or unhide, and relax in the knowledge that your secret project won’t be seen by others. The Pro edition ($27) lets you password-protect the application, so that if someone knows you’re using Hide Folders, they won’t be able to show your hidden files and folders. Hide Folders uses the built-in capabilities of Mac OS X, so you won’t necessarily need Hide Folders to unhide items later on.
Lockdown 1.0.5
Foozoo Design’s Lockdown monitors your Mac while you’re away and sounds an alarm if someone tries to steal or otherwise access your system. It uses the computer’s motion-sensors, keyboard-sensors, external device sensors and MagSafe sensors to monitor the computer. When the alarm is set off, the application prevents the sound from being muted and then takes a snapshot of the offender using your Mac’s iSight camera and emails it to you. Lockdown requires a Mac with a built-in iSight and Mac OS X Leopard. It’s especially useful when leaving your laptop in a hotel room.
Pando 2.1.5.7
Pando lets you transfer files and folders up to 1GB in size for free. To transfer files just drop them onto Pando, provide an email address and message, and hit Send. Pando then uploads your file to its server. Your recipient receives an email with a small Pando attachment. If they already have the Pando application (for Mac or Windows), they can double-click the attachment to launch Pando and download your file. If not, they’re taken to the Pando website to download Pando.
Smart Trash 1.1.3
Smart Trash ($10 shareware) provides a menu bar item that enhances the functions of the Mac OS X Trash. It lets you choose which files to delete when emptying the Trash, lets you choose to empty the Trash on specific volumes instead of all at once, and it logs which files were deleted. You can use it 10 times before payment is required.
StuffIt Expander 13.0.2
StuffIt Expander expands all StuffIt archives, as well as more than 30 other compression and archive formats. You can set it to watch a folder, so that any files placed into that folder will be expanded. It can combine and expand split archives and segmented Zip archives as well. We recommend that everyone install StuffIt Expander, to avoid the Murphy’s Law that your project will be delayed because you couldn’t open an odd file. Here’s a tip: If you hold down the Option key while dragging files to StuffIt Expander, you can change StuffIt’s expansion settings for just the current operation -- for example, the location to save the expanded file.
WindowShade X 4.2
Unsanity’s WindowShade X ($13.50 shareware) is now officially compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Windowshade lets you double-click the title bar of any window to either collapse it into the title bar (like rolling up a window shade), reduce its opacity, or shrink the window to a miniature version of itself. To us, WindowShade is indispensable when working with multiple Finder windows, because with a double-click you can “roll up” a window to access what’s behind it, then double-click to roll it back down.
