GraphClick 3.0b (Mac OS X)

Pretty, intuitive, and effective: excellent app for $8!!  

This is a pretty modest niche: extracting data from graphs and figures, but GraphClick does what it does wonderfully. You can quickly define the scale of the graph (in several different ways), then tracing graphs is flexibly and quickly done by adding points (or even automatically tracing both solid and, remarkably well, broken symbol lines). You can export the data to a spreadsheet, and the program even calculates areas under the curves - which was what I used it for. Purchase immediately! [alert admin]

Librarian Pro 1.2.4 (Mac OS X)

Handle all your media needs in a powerful, and well-priced application  

This app handles books, movies, music. It imports data from amazon (and a wide range of other sources), handles a library-lending function, integrates with OS X well (addressbook etc.). In short it is a well written, reliable media database. I recommend it. It is possibly not as attractive as its delicious competition, but it has shown a much more reliable and prompt development path. [alert admin]

ForkLift 1.2 (Mac OS X)

poor copy of Transmit  

I bought this as part of a package deal on Macupdate. It strikes me as a poor copy of transmit, without that app's sophistication and polish, and without that company's founder's flair. [alert admin]

iGet 2.6.2 (Mac OS X)

Indispensable  

This app allows you with trivial ease to connect to all your machines, securely. It enhances my productivity almost daily: especially when traveling - don't worry about taking a copy of your multi-gigabyte hard drive, just iGet into your home machine from anywhere in the world, use remote spotlight to find the files you want, and bingo: you have what you want! robust, dependable, intuitive - just about invisible.

VLC media player 0.8.6a (Mac OS X)

10 out of 10  

This is a rock solid player, which will often play files that quicktime stalls on, and is a lovely DVD player to boot. Multi-media, cross platform heaven. the only limits are some wmv (flip4mac copes with those), and real media - hae been pointed towards mplayer for that. [alert admin]

Leechster 0.91 (Mac OS X)

Great Craftsmanship  

This app is just beautiful: It has one purpose, which is immediately apparent, flawlessly implemented and nice to look at. Wow!

I had (aimlessly) thought of doing this app myself: but this is just fantastic. [alert admin]
