Safari Cookies 0.1.3 (Mac OS X)
Well, with 0.1.3 I tried to donate, but the PayPal login doesn't work, and for the United States, the state field shows only Australian states. Ah well - wait a bit. To donate is worth it, whenever the mechanism might work. [alert admin]

Safari Cookies 0.1.2 (Mac OS X)
Finally, the only really good and automatic cookie manager for any browser - a worthy successor to Safari Plus. Been waiting anxiously for a successor since Safari Plus went out of date. As with SP, SC provides easily managed cookie categories, with only marked-as-favorite source categories surviving a Safari Quit (my Safari is version 4beta). No more manually vetting an endless list of individual cookies many from the same website. My only question is why such a low version number? SC 0.1.2 seems to be behaving like an advanced beta, almost ready to go golden. I am ready to donate when the version number gets close to 1.0. [alert admin]

Tags 1.1 (Mac OS X)
Did not expect this, but am beginning to use Tags to tag URLs merely for specific articles on the web. Seems easier and quicker than bookmarking, at least and particularly for substantive areas of interest. [alert admin]

Tags 1.1 (Mac OS X)
impressive application - example of how it is done right 
I had been looking for an app that would merely tag messages in Mail to compensate for poorly expressed subject headers. Mailtags does the job well, but does too many things. Then along comes Tags with its clean and fast interface for tagging virtually anything, including Mail messages. Glad I waited for it - am well into the evaluation period and very likely to pay the reasonable shareware fee after another week of looking for bugs (none so far). Tags makes creating and assigning (and removing) keywords easy and fast. I think of it as a cross-indexing complement to Spotlight and ABC Launch, especially for databases and spreadsheets that Spotlight cannot reach into. I do not tag a lot of things, but for certain projects the app makes a very good consolidator of different types of files, folders, URLs and email messages. The only thing I could wish for now is an ability to tag individual records within databases and spreadsheets. [alert admin]

Moneydance 2008r3 (Mac OS X)
Moneydance - the best of personal finance apps
Fast and stable, clearly mapped - the best money management software. I have tried a lot of Mac finance apps, used Quicken for years, finally (and slowly) migrating to Moneydance over this last year. No glitches whatever. The search features are brilliant and speedy, as are the graphic budget displays. Upgrades have been regular and free - I may voluntarily donate soon, thinking that it is about time that responsive Reilly Technologies be paid for the upgrades I have gotten since paying for my initial version.

Silverkeeper 1.1.4 (Mac OS X)
Straightforward, fast, shows files/folders being updated as they are copied over. Tried Time Machine several times - the idea quite seductive, but execution too touchy - never knew when it was going to fail. My main problem with Silverkeeper 2.0 is that it will not launch on my iMac core solo duo Leopard. But that is OK, since 1.1.4 works well, even though it says it is only for pre-Leopard. Anyway, very fast, even on USB 2.0, though I mostly use Firewire. Definitely faster t than Superduper and other alternatives to Time Machine. SK requires a bit more intervention than Time Machine, but it works once set up without intervention. [alert admin]

BusySync 2.0b8 (Mac OS X)
Flawless, and fast, as in 'it just works' with Google calendar. SpanningSync looks good, and they are certainly trying hard enough. But it often stalls, or does just a partial sync (I typically have about 12 calendars active), or syncs only in one direction. They blame it on Google protocols, but BusySync sidesteps all that, and is very quick at automatically updating. No hiccups whatever. The odd thing about BusySync documentation is that it appears as if the .prefPane merely automates iCal's publish and subscribe protocols. But all one has to do is publish to Google calendar from iCal (via BusySync), and then a change at _either_ end will update on the other. So after a couple of days with BusySync I am about to break a personal rule not to buy software until the full trial period has been exercised. Well, maybe a few more days. And hoping that BusySync will in future extend to synchronizing Address Book with Google contacts . . . . [alert admin]

Bento 1.0v2 R1 (Mac OS X)
Another feature in my wish list for Bento: The ability to import/export tab-separated text files. Makes it much easier to import from other databases, as well as text files sent me to convert to databases. Being limited to .csv files is a multi-step pain, since most exports from other apps are in .txt form. [alert admin]

Bento 1.0v2 R1 (Mac OS X)
Bento: essential needed features
In addition to my requirements for Bento to meet the capabilities of AppleWorks DB, I add that Bento should be able to hide selected or unselected records. This is related to the need for showing forms in a list view, rather than just a form-by-form view. [alert admin]

More than a two-level hierarchy for multiple-CD sets might be nice for classical collections, but I get around that with a modified title for each CD within a set. E.g. Bach: Matthäus-Passion BWV 244 1/3, Bach: Matthäus-Passion BWV 244 2/3, etc. Three or four levels of hierarchy in fact might not be as transparent, and could be cluttered (I would like to hide a number of fields that I do not use anyway).…

Why is this app potentially useful? Because, unlike Entourage and some other email clients, Mail cannot save individual messages as files that can be put into finder folders with related materials (like word processing and spreadsheet documents). That capability would make it easy for one to go directly to a message from within a topical folder rather that searching for it in Mail's mbox schema. However, I am afraid to try…

Eudora - needs multiple address and better relay support
I fully agree - Eudora is superior in many respects - separate files for email folders (safer in terms of file corruption than a single database), much faster at searching than anyone else, and automatic storage of attachments in a separate Finder folder instead of inside a database file. BUT, addressing using nicknames that you have to memorize is almost useless to me where many of my addressees have different potential email addresses. …

Never got any response from keaka, but I finally went to eSellerate, which turns out to have an excellent way to retrieve shareware order information. I used the order number that eSellerate provided to reregister PowerController 1.3. Great product, no author support, but very fine support from eSellerate.
