I recently wrote an article about how you can create a Lessn, Bit.ly, Is.gd, Tinyurl desktop shortener with Applescript, but if you don’t use lessn from Shaun Inman (which is the most important reason to use that script) or you just don’t want to mess with Applescript language, Shrinker is for you.

When I was new to the Mac, I wished there was a simple way to get the full size applications icons. They were beautiful and well designed, so I wanted to look at them at a full resolution. But as I said, I was new to the Mac, and I didn’t know many tricks to get the .icns file and convert it to a .png.

If you’re in the same situation now, IconGrabber is for you.

“Ommwriter is a humble attempt to recapture what technology has snatched away from us today: our capacity to concentrate.

Ommwriter is a simple text processor that firmly believes in making writing a pleasure once again, reinvindicating the close relationship between writer and paper. The more intimate the relation, the smoother the flow of inspiration.

If you are a scriptwriter, blogger, journalist, copywriter, poet or just someone who enjoys writing, welcome back to concentrating.”

So, you download a lot of stuff everyday and your downloads folder is a total mess. Or, you download so much stuff (music, icons, PDFs, images) that sometimes you can’t remember which files you’ve already downloaded..and you download them again, just to be sure. Obviously, you don’t have time to clean up that folder or, you just don’t want to.

Then, there’s another situation: you work a lot. You work so much that after some time your /Work folder wastes tons of GBs. Pages files, spreadsheets, PSDs,notes, stock photos..that’s very likely to happen.

Ok, let’s talk about Decloner.

I’ve never used Time Machine.

Ok, this can sound crazy, but I never felt the need of goin’ through the whole Time Machine process to backup files I can manually backup when I want. But you know, everyone has his favorite tools, so the choice it’s up to you.

Anyway, I think developing a backup utility for Mac should be a very hard task: I mean, even if I don’t use Time Machine, the rest of the world seems to love it. For this reason, creating from scratch an application to backup your Mac files it’s definitely difficult: you have to create something unique and make people want it.

Today I’d like to talk about a beta application I discovered yesterday, Parachute.

There’s something great about indipendent Mac developers: sometimes they exactly know which application would be interesting. That’s what Malarkey Software did: they knew it would be awesome to download entire Flickr photosets.

And here comes Photo Grabbr.
