Leap 1.0.4 (Mac OS X)
The File Manager I've Been Waiting For 
I've been spoiled by Yojimbo and the ease with which it lets me tag, store, organize, and find documents. I've been wishing for something that would work with the rest of my files the way Yojimbo does, and the developers of Leap have made my wish come true. I can tag all of my files, and find by almost any criteria. The searches are much faster than plain old spotlight searches, and leap makes it easy for me to just search the documents I want. Some reviewers here have complained that you can do what Leap does with the tools built into OS X. Possibly true, but you can also use an axe instead of a chainsaw to cut down a tree. Which tool does the job more quickly and easily? I think complaints about the price are fair. It took me a long time to decide to cough up $59. If it had been $29, I would have bought Leap a long time ago. Judging by the number of downloads here, I think the price is scaring people away. That's too bad, because this is a great product. If the developers lowered the price, they'd sell many more copies. [alert admin]

Moneydance 2005 (Mac OS X)
Perfect Replacement for Quicken
I had used Quicken since 1989, and with version 2004 I'd finally had enough. After using Moneydance for a couple of months, I've found a number of improvements over Quicken: - Quick spotlight-sytle find in the register window. I can search on any or all fields right in the register - Sorting the register by any field I want. - Being able to change the font size in the register. - No errors when doing online bill payment. Quicken used to kick out errors every time. Intuit blamed it on my bank, and my bank blamed it on Intuit. -Connect directly with your bank for online bill pay and transaction downloads. Don't have to go through Intuit's servers. - Every time I paid some bills online with Quicken, it created another payee record on my bank's server. I had 30 copies of a few different payees. Moneydance doesn't do this. - When I click done after reconciling, Moneydance updates the records to cleared status immediately. I could go get a cup of coffee while I was waiting for Quicken to mark transactions as cleared. I've only found one thing I don't like about Moneydance: online bill payments are not automatically entered into your register. But that's a minor annoyance, and will probably be fixed in a future release. I was initially concerned about Moneydance being a Java application. My experience with Java programs hasn't been great, as most of them have been to slow to use. Moneydance is as fast as any program on my computer. In addition to being a great program. Moneydance has excellent support. The developer responds to e-mail promptly, and there's a very active user e-mail list. If you're tired of paying Intuit for the same buggy program year after year, give Moneydance a look. [alert admin]

Apple Mac OS X 10.3.3 (Mac OS X)
Maybe it's just because I'm on a 450MHz, but 10.3.3 seems even faster than previous versions. Especially network connecting. Nice update. [alert admin]

Source Browser 1 (Mac OS X)
Quick way to get "hidden" info. Would like to see even more features added--load time, etc. Keep up the good work! [alert admin]

WireTap 1.0.0 (Mac OS X)
Audio Hijack has a few more features, but WireTap is free and gets the job done! [alert admin]
