Today 1.1

by Steven Sande (RSS feed) on May 13th, 2008

Second Gear, the same developers who bring you the PocketTweets Twitter client for the iPhone, have announced that Today 1.1 is now available.

Today is an app that works with your iCal database and provides easy browsing of your events and tasks in an attractive and unobtrusive window. Clicking the icons at the bottom of the window opens dialogs for entering new events and tasks in a way that is much easier than entering them into iCal directly.

What's new in Today 1.1?

Better performance for those of us with big calendaring needs
Filtering of the calendars that appear in the Today window
Locations can be assigned for new events
All day events have a new, more obvious appearance
New event and task due dates default to the day that you're viewing
Bugs have been squashed

Second Gear provides a 7-day test drive for download. The update is free for existing Today users, or you can purchase Today for $15.

Forget Me Not - Safari session saving

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Dec 29th, 2006

Forget Me Not 3.0 is a good example of the 3rd party plug-in and add-on support for Safari that is slowly but surely growing. FMN is a basic a session saver plug-in for Safari that can reload any tabs that were open the last time you quit Safari. It isn't quite as powerful as, say, Tab Mix Plus for Firefox, but it does a good job of bringing this increasingly popular feature to Apple's darling browser.

Forget Me Not can be had from Jim Fowler's site.

Three-pane Mail.app turns into a plug-in

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Jun 2nd, 2006

Well that was quick. First Mail.app received a widescreen, three-pane face-lift, and now it's been morphed into a plug-in. The author provides two different sets of instructions for installing: drag and dropping into your ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/ directory or using a couple of commands in Terminal. Go nuts ladies and gentlmen.

Saft updates to 8.2.5, goes universal

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Feb 2nd, 2006

Add Saft to your list of universal binary apps, as a recent update to version 8.2.5 can be run on those smokin' new Intel iMacs and MacBook Pros. In addition to UB support, Saft has also gained a few new features such as creating dated folders for organizing downloads, reversed tab order (anyone know what this one means?), a shortcut for Look Up in Dictionary as well as a Danish localization.

As usual, version 8.2.5 is a free upgrade for registered users.

Tip of the Day

Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.
