The developer is dead (but he keeps his bank account open)! - Version: 3.0.5, 4/3/2007 09:55AM PST

It's now over a year since kposer noted that this seemed to be abandoned software. Nothing new since then - and the same with the developer's other piece of software, iDraw. Their website pages have copyright dates up to 2004 or 2005. Their "contact us" form - to which they don't respond - asks you to select your OS version, but it only goes as far as 10.3.

But they're still happy to take your money!

I does what it says it does, which is a heck of a lot. Smoothly, easily and simply. It would have to be the number one productivity enhancement on my Mac.

My only concern is the lack of a Universal version and what appears to be any sign of future development.

My deepest wish is that MacOSX finally gets the equivalent of Boomerang and an Apps/shortcut menu on the menubar.

Unfortunately, Menustrip seems to be an abandoned piece of software. I wrote several times to the developer and never got an answer. Their website looks unchanged since about one year. A pity - this could have become one of the most valuable utilities for OS X.
