I love using this - Version: 1.7.2, 3/12/2009 10:55PM PST

I'm not sure why VT shows the version as 1.7.2, and the download as 1.7.1. I downloaded 1.7.2 from here a couple of days ago - but now they've got something going on.

I've been using You Control for a couple of years now. I find that, although it does use quite a bit of system resources, it doesn't seem to really affect my computer's performance. It's been stable, and easy to work with.

The modules are REALLY helpful. I use the Pasteboard and Hotkeys the most, but the navigation features, the calendar and address book, processes, monitoring - great to have in one convenient program. I don't use the RSS features, because long ago, I found it seemed to slow the system down some, and took up bandwidth. Otherwise, I've really found this to be a great investment.

Extremely useful. Been very stable for me. - Version: 1.6, 2/12/2008 12:00AM PST

I use this app a lot every day. With the Apple Menu crippled as an application launcher I use You Control's "File System" module to create an organized file list that allows me to navigate through all of my folders -- just like the original Apple Menu. I also use the clock / calendar module to show both date and time at a glance, something that apparently was beyond the capabilities of Apple's programmers. The Mail module allows me to quickly scan my email inbox without bringing Mail to the front. Overall, one of my favorite programs.
