iStat menus 1.1 released

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Sep 4th, 2007



We last discussed iStat menus back in June and now the Australian company iSlayer has pushed out version 1.1, adding a variety of new features. Most important perhaps is the re-designed preference pane interface and calendar. There are also a variety of new graphs and breakdowns, as well as some a new sources and some Leopard-only features and improvements. While I've always been a fan of MenuMeters and MenuCalendarClock for similar functionality, iStat menus looks very intriguing, especially given the large number of possible data sources it can monitor.

iStat menus remains a free download from iSlayer.

MagiCal: Menubar Calendar

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Feb 4th, 2007



MagiCal is a cool little calendar application from Charcoal Design. As you can see it just puts a drop-down calendar in your menubar for easy access. In addition, you can actually "tear off" a month and leave it on your desktop (handy for making reservations, I find). MagiCal can also add the date and time in a customized format to your menubar, if you want to use it instead of OS X's built-in clock.

While my favorite menubar calendar remains the more full-featured MenuCalendarClock, it is $20 and MagiCal is a free download (donations requested). One last cool thing about MagiCal is that the developer offers three versions for download: Universal Binary, PPC, and Intel. The single platform ones are indeed about half the size of the UB. Personally, I wish more developers would consider doing this.

MenuCalendarClock goes Universal

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Apr 3rd, 2006

MenuCalendarClock is a clever little customizable pulldown calendar for the menubar that can also display events from iCal or Entourage to help keep you on top of things. As an unregistered version, MenuCalendarClock can display a small 'pocket calendar' (pictured), and clicking on a day of the week will open that corresponding day in iCal. Registered users will get to see iCal events right in the calendar without iCal even running, email support, a configurable hotkey and much more.

This handy little utility sells for $18.95 and, with the most recent version of 2.5, is now a Universal Binary.
