There are people who genuinely can’t stand Adobe Air applications. I don’t know why - sometimes the skin you’re in doesn’t matter when it’s executed incredibly well. Thus is the case with DestroyTwitter, which has evolved from an overly complicated yet powerful client into a focused, well-oiled machine.

DestroyTwitter 2, unMac Your Client (Again)
The Macally Bookstand, A Microfiber iPad Cover
I recently got my hands on a Macally Bookstand, which is a hot commodity right now. Apple’s own case isn’t bad – it seems some owners have better luck with it than others – but I wasn’t impressed with the sturdiness & balance of Apple’s stand. Instead, I wanted to opt for a svelte alternative that gave me access to the iPad’s entire screen. The Bookstand fits the bill nicely.
Raskin, A Finder Replacement for Mac
When we think of a Finder replacement, Path Finder comes to mind as something that extends what we know and love. Other’s might think of ‘tabbed browsing’ as a useful extension, but what about replacing the Finder completely? Raskin does just that, giving you a scrollable platform of which you can easily preview files on your computer.
Daily Notes is your Leather Bound Notepad for iPad
I’ve seen a few luxury notepads on store shelves that are deliciously leather bound, featuring organizational essentials such as a quick calendar and tabs. But if you’re digitally savvy, you may want to opt for a virtual version on the iPad, mainly, Daily Notes (iTunes Link) by Rama Krishna (@Daily_Notes).

Divvy Up Your Desktop with Divvy for Mac
I have a problem with computer desktops in general, and it’s that I’m fidgety. I’m not so bad on Windows for whatever reason, but on the Mac I’m always shuffling desktop windows around, resizing things, trying to align things perfectly so my OCD doesn’t kick in. And I’ve tried hundreds of solutions here on MacStories, and even recorded lame’o videos for some. But god forbid I ever end this tireless quest, so today I present you with Divvy.
Notify 2.1: Stronger, Faster, Better
Back in December I reviewed Notify 2 from Vibealicious and wrote that it was one of the best applications released in 2009. For those who don’t know, Notify is a menubar application for Mac which allows you to check for incoming mail messages in almost every kind of account (Gmail, IMAP, MobileMe and Rackspace) without having a mail client running all the time. It’s a lightweight notifier that runs in the background and check for new messages at a scheduled interval and presents them to you via Growl notifications, inside a beautifully designed interface.
Today, Vibealicious has released the long awaited 2.1 update for Notify, which introduces a new backend, new features and lots of fixes and improvements.
