Measures for iPhone: Reviewed.
There’s a lot of unit converter apps in the App Store: it seems like it’s one of the latest trends of 2009.
Anyway, I stumbled upon this app, Measures, and I thought “wow,just another one”. But, after some weeks of testing I must admit that it works and - most of all - it’s really easy to use.
1Password 3: the Review.
Tweet from Safari with Thurly. Reviewed.
If you recently switched from Firefox to Safari, you’ve probably noticed the lack of browser addons. While there are thousands of addons / extensions / whatever for Mozilla Firefox, there’s no doubt that Safari is not a very customizable browser. But anyway, there are a few developers who have developed excellent plugins (that’s how they are called in Safari) you should definitely check out.
Today, I would like to talk about Thurly.
MenuBrowser Moves Your Finder in the MenuBar
I love Apple’s Finder: since I switched from Windows to Mac OS X, Finder has slowly become my favourite app. It’s pretty obvious - I know - but I just can’t stop thinking about how things were ugly, hard and non-user-friendly when I used Explorer.
With the release of Snow Leopard the Finder has been completely re-written in Cocoa, fully supporting 64-bit. For this reason now we have live previews, more core animation goodness, more stability, more everything. But Finder is - and always will be, I believe - a “dock app”.
And here comes MenuBrowser.
Get a Delicious Font Library with Fontcase. Review.
I love collecting fonts. Well, I love collecting well-done fonts: I spend a lot of time searching for the right one, depending of what I want to achieve in Photoshop. On the other hand, I love iTunes. Amazing from a user interface standpoint (although written in Carbon) Apple did a great job in creating an all-in-one application for muisc, movies and apps.
What if we can get a similar result..for fonts managing?
Here’s Fontcase.
Flux 2: Web Design Rebooted. Reviewed.
If you have a Mac and you’re a web designer / blogger, it’s very likely that you’ve heard of RapidWeaver: it’s one of the most famous WYSIWYG editor around, it has a lot of features and a great support by RealMac Software. While many Mac users still use Apple’s iWeb and just feel comfortable with it, RapidWeaver’s slowly becoming popular, thanks to its simplicity and great UI.
Anyway, I would like to share my thoughts about Flux, a great alternative to RapidWeaver which I found in my “late night Mac apps discovering” sessions.
Here’s my review.
