Product Description:

FruitMenu is a haxie that gives you the ability to customize the Apple Menu and contextual menus. Using a visual editor you can edit the contents of the menus to suit your needs and taste. FruitMenu will also display the contents of the FruitMenu Items folder inside of your Library folder, launch applications and shell scripts from the Apple Menu and contextual menus, to allow easy file navigation and launching. You can also assign hotkeys to particular Apple menu items.

What's new in this version:

  • Note: The price of FruitMenu has increased from $10 to $12
  • In removing deprecated API calls, accidently stopped resolving aliases in the FruitMenu Items folder (it'd resolve the alias, then ignore the result). This has been fixed. Sadly, this also means there may be a significant increase in application launch speed if you have a large hotkey prescan setting.
  • You can tell the how long the scanning of FruitMenu Items takes by looking in the console (/Application/Utilities/Console) and looking at the line below "CreateMenuItem: FruitMenuItems"

I have tried (and tried and tried) to get information from the developer through their www.unsanity.com website. They do not and will not respond.

There is NO information posted about any of their products and compatibility with OSX v10.6 Snow Leopard. And no amount of email requests, support tickets, etc., have resulted in any response at all.

As much as I loved their products and have used them for years, the company has horrible customer service and the website is even worse.

FruitMenu Usage TipFruitMenu and Snow Leopard - Version: 3.7.3, 10/23/2009 03:41PM PST

Unlike some, I have found FruitMenu to be a reliable and helpful product. Consequently, for several years now, I have happily used it on three Macs with only minor compatibility problems (and gladly paid the appropriate shareware fees to Unsanity). It is a good product and the price is a bargain.

I purchased Snow Leopard the day it became available, but I haven't installed it on a single machine as of yet, because that would be irresponsible since I have many specialized software products that first need to be upgraded. Instead of moving too fast, I'm slowly going through my Apps and upgrading each for SL compatibility while making a list of those updates that aren't yet available.

FruitMenu will be ready when it's ready. Hopefully, so will I. Be patient.

FruitMenu CommentaryUnsanity updates for Snow Leopard are supposed to be in work - Version: 3.7.3, 10/8/2009 08:12PM PST

The Unsanity Blog entry for Oct 6, 2009, says they are developing updates for FruitMenu and their other haxies. I hope they come out a little faster than the updates for Leopard did. I never found an alternative to Fruit Menu that I liked better in the year between Apple's OS X 10.5 release in 2007 and Unsanity's release of Fruit Menu 3.7.1 in August 2008. At least my old iMac G5 is unaffected!
