SOHO Notes 8.01 (Mac OS X)
I’ve been using this product since Sticky Brain days. There have been a few versions that were less than desirable in terms of speed and stability. Version 8, with a new database engine (no more Open Base) is considerably faster, especially when accessing data from FlashNote, one of the best features of this product (you can access all notes from a menu item while the main app isn’t running). In V6 and V7, it was dog slow. I switched to EverNote which I do really like but I missed the ability to access data when the app wasn’t running via a menu. If you’ve been happy with SOHO notes but found the last two versions iffy and slow, and you want to continue with this product, I think the upgrade is worthwhile. [alert admin]

Letterbox 0.22 (Mac OS X)
I too would pay a fee for an upgrade to Snow Leopard. Hopefully we'll see an update soon. [alert admin]

TrashMagic 1.2 (Mac OS X)
Been very happy so far until the update to 1.2. Now it pops a dialog there's a newer version (there isn't) and you have to click Cancel a few dozen times to dismiss it. If you go into the app to turn off upgrade notification, it crashes. Emailed developer two days ago, no word yet. [alert admin]

Hazel 2.3 (Mac OS X)
I've just started using the product but already its saved me a huge amount of time and effort. I make a lot of screen captures and now Hazel tags them automatically with the display profile, while another "batch" can optionally be used to convert to sRGB. I've got the product setup to auto delete old emails in specific folders for Mail. Tech support is superb! I emailed prior to buying about a script issue and got a fix that day. The only thing keeping a five star across the boards is yes, its a bit pricey but considering what I charge <g> and how its saved me time, I can't really complain. [alert admin]

Fetch 5.5.1 (Mac OS X)
Sorry Fetch, no upgrade this time
Used the product for years. Love the dog icon but sorry, no deal this time. I switched to Transmit which has a vastly superior GUI and didn't fail to upload very large files when Fetch kept taking a dump. Transmit is IMHO a vastly superior product, at least for my needs. [alert admin]

Daylite 3.9.2 (Mac OS X)
Despite my initial review below, I've given up.
I really did like this product until an update caused a total failure in the ability to sync to Address Book or iCal. Tech support has been nothing short of amazing in trying to solve this issue but we've both spent hours on this and I do have a life. I gave up on the product and now I'm back to Address Book and iCal (and without any sync issues, CardScan). Its clear to me that this is a Daylite problem as I was able to sync to competing products and even the beta of Now X which I might migrate to when its released. IF this company can fix the sync issues, I might go back but at this point, its just too much a headache. [alert admin]

WhoPaste 1.2.1 (Mac OS X)
Its not perfect but its pretty close in correctly formatting everything I've tried so far. Saves a lot of time and has a great deal of configuration possibilities. Well worth the $10 per machine. I was so impressed with the demo that I purchased two licenses (desktop and laptop). Can't complain about the single user licensing at this price. Check out a demo, and the screencasts as there apparently is no actual manual (not that its necessary). This should save me a great deal of time capturing, formatting and updating my Address book.

Daylite 3.9 (Mac OS X)
My initial review was so-so, after about 10 months, I'm quite pleased with the product. The new build (3.9) eliminates OpenBase and while the migration was a bit frustrating, some of it my own fault, I'm even more pleased with the product and especially the tech support which is nothing short of amazing.

1Password 2.9.8 (Mac OS X)
Apple released the beta of Safari this morning, 1Password didn't work, something like 6 hours later, they have an update. Amazing. Great product. Unbelievable commitment from the publishers. [alert admin]

iCal Dupe Deleter 1.0.0 (Mac OS X)
This guy's getting a donation!
My iCal database blow up to a huge size (why I don't know). Couldn't sync etc. Found this gem and gave it a try. It found one Calendar with (get this) 12543 duplicates! My god, no wonder nothing worked. Now this process to remove the dupes took many hours, but it worked like a charm and fixed up my iCal issues. Apparently getting duplicate entries isn't that abnormal. This great utility is a must if iCal bogs down. [alert admin]

Did OS 10.6.1 break SpamSieve?
Absolutely no problems under 10.6, 10.6.1. Rock solid, a brilliant piece of software.

A 32-bit version was uploaded today and works perfectly. I'm so grateful to the author, it was difficult to go even a week using Mail without Letterbox.

Upgraded to 2.0, had an issue on one machine. Tech support was awesome! Had emails an hour after initial contact, eventually got everything up and running.

Does affect screen calibration
>So if you don't care about profiling your screen, then Shades is very nice. But if you calibrate your screen, then I think it's a no good, at least for the time being. That's absolutely correct. It hoses color management.

Warning - Daylite plagued with sync problems
Update. Sync problems so bad, I've abandoned the product. Tech support was nothing short of amazing but hours and hours have resulted in a total inability to sync either Address Book or iCal.

Warning - Daylite plagued with sync problems
Agreed, I've had sync nightmares. Otherwise, a nice product but if you want to sync with Address Book or iCal, its not even hit or miss, its nearly always miss. Hopefully this dot release will fix the issue. All other app's (including CardScan) sync fine, quickly and reliably.

I'm also experiencing very slow sync speeds in V4. It seems to get "stuck" analyzing one or more files, the SBBD (Spinning Beach Ball of Death) goes for quite some time and eventually the sync finishes.
