ScreenFlow 1.1.1 (Mac OS X)
I love ScreenFlow. I had been using some other screen capture software but nothing compares to this. I still don't understand how it works (it captures raster data as vector?!) but that's the key bit, it works. ScreenFlow is elegant software and where other software ends at the capture stage, SF really excels in the post-recording editing (all in real time with no rendering). The only place it is lacking is in titling. If the developers add this, it will be a perfect application. [alert admin]

HelpbookCreator 1.2 (Mac OS X)
Very confusing without (ironically) a good helpbook of its own. Took me a few minutes to figure out that you have to click "Add Localization" before you can do anything else. It seems to me that when you create a new helpbook, an assistant should appear where you'd enter the first localization (it should default to the current language for the system), the application name (so default pages don't all have to be changed from "MyApplication" individually), and then the other properties found in the (unnamed) drawer. A huge issue is that the "Save" command is never active so the only way to save your work is to (unintuitively) close the document you are working on and let the app then prompt you to save your work. I added several pages and while "Start Point" pages appear fine, where do the "Help Topic" pages get linked? How do I manually link pages to, say, the index page? There are a lot of other minor nitpicks (it doesn't encode high-ASCII entities, etc.), but it is promising (it has potential for being great) and, of course the price can't be beat. Hopefully the author will take these comments in the spirit they were intended: as constructive criticism to help a good idea become a good product. [alert admin]

OnMyCommand 1.7.1 (Mac OS X)
I made the switch to a MacBook Pro and while I liked it, I didn't love it. The problem was that much of the software I have come to rely on has not been ported to universal binaries. One of these glaring omissions was OMC. Using Mac OS X without it is painful and now that I have it again on my machine, I'm much more productive and happier. Thank you for this terrific software that is unbelievably versatile. [alert admin]

gDisk 0.4 (Mac OS X)
This is a very cool idea and the initial implementation works but I agree a separate mounted disk on the desktop would be the way to go. As Google continues to increase the limits on the gmail accounts, this will only get more useful. [alert admin]

Name those Files! 2.0.6 (Mac OS X)
Over the past 5 years I have taken 12,000+ digital pictures and this app has saved me a ton of time in organizing them (not only renaming them but sorting them into folders by date). Earlier versions were slow (though still faster than my manually doing the work it does) but this last version is MUCH faster. I don't love the interface but it works and I guess that's what counts. I know I don't even use all of its features (GREP is beyond me) but what I do use has certainly paid for itself many times over. [alert admin]

Butler 4.0b29 (Mac OS X)
When I get a new Mac, this is the first app I install. So useful and feature-packed -- yes, there is a steep learning curve and sometimes it hangs on startup, but those are minor quibbles. Just the launching features are worth it but when you add in the clipboards, a fast script menu (though, admittedly without contextual switching to display scripts specific to the current app), auto-text entry and more, well, it really is indispensable.

Meteorologist 1.4.4 (Mac OS X)
There are only a few apps in my login items and this is one of them. I love knowing the temp not only here but in the other cities to which I travel as well. So much more convenient than the weather widget in Dashboard. Small, unobtrusive, handy, free -- what more could you want? [alert admin]

Tunatic 1.0.1b (Mac OS X)
This little app does one thing and it does it very well. I've tested it and it gets about a 90% accuracy rate (at least for the music I listen to, pretty mainstream stuff). I also really appreciate that it isn't a Widget. I can't stand Dashboard -- what's the point? Very well done and the price can't be beat. It would be nice to get artwork and save the tags to local files (if you use Soundflower you can use that as your audio input and output and test it on your local music files) but even as is it's great.
