It doesn’t happen everyday to review original and creative applications like AirLock. Moreover, it’s very unusual to find an application that installs itself as a preference pane but works together with your iPhone though it doesn’t exactly require an additional iPhone app.
What am I talking about? It’s called AirLock, and I think you’re gonna love this.
Here’s a great utility for all you Mac users out there who use Mail.app or Mozilla Thunderbird. MaBuRe (ok, let’s not talk about the name..or the icon) is a lightweight, free app for Mac which can backup and restore your mails in a single click.
The main (and only) window is a HUD panel which lets you backup and restore your Mail / Thunderbird database. The messages will be archived in a .zip file in your desktop.
The developer said on MacThemes forum it will soon implement the possibility to schedule backups for the next release.
Nice app!
You’d probably already know how much Simplenote is amazing. It’s a little iPhone note taking application that sync every note over the cloud, allowing you access the notes you took from your mobile device on your desktop. It’s very cool. But even better, the developers launched an API service that let other developers create application that integrate with Simplenote.
I reviewed JustNotes a while ago, a beta application for Mac which perfectly sync with the Simplenote cloud. Today, I’ve just discovered another app, Notthingam and guess what, it’s a little gem.
If you are a Gmail user and you have a Mac, you probably already know how many Gmail notifier applications are available. I don’t even know, maybe more than 20? Not to talk about custom solutions made of Applescript and Automator workflows.
I’m personally a huge fan of Notify from Vibealicious, which provides an easy way to access Gmail from the menubar with a stylish, elegant interface. Moreover, the upcoming 2.0 version will simply rock, trust me. Anyway, I’ve just discovered another Gmail notifier, which sits in the menubar and lets you check your unread messages from your Mac desktop: Gmail Studio.
If you’re a writer, you should know how much is important to keep your brain organized and fresh: sometimes too much information can kill your skills, or just make you forget things. You must find a way to keep everything at the right place, sorted out and ready to be picked up when you need it. And if you’re a Mac user too you know you need a good app to do this.
I had the chance to test Thoughts, an upcoming app for Mac OS X developed by green & slimy, and I think it could change the way you organize your stuff, with style. Here’s an exclusive preview.
So you’re a designer or a developer and you daily need to deal with code and text snippets: that’s very likely to happen. From CSS to HTML, from Javascript to Ruby, you just can’t remember every piece of code everyday: you need a good solution to store and easily retrieve them. Now, if you’re reading this blog I assume you have a Mac running Leopard / Snow Leopard.
Meet Snippets.
Apple’s Mail is a great piece of software: sure, it has some minor flaws and compatibility issues, but overall there’s no mail client better than Mail.app on Mac OS X. I’ve tried many, like Postbox and Thunderbird, but I couldn’t just get the right feeling while using them. There are only two additional applications I use everyday for mail management: Mailplane for my Gmail accounts and Notify as quick menubar notifier.
Guess what, I think I’ve just discovered another great addition to Mail: Mail-Grab.
Seems like I just can’t enough of desktop URLs shorteners: Andy wrote an Applescript for that (hem) and I reviewed Shrinker, a simple app that handles the whole process of shortening urls with various online services like bit.ly and tr.im. So, I was re-organising my bookmarks today (you know, minimalism) and I stumbled upon this neat application which was lying there in my toolbar: Squish.
And I was like: “Omg”.
Find out why.
