by Cory Bohon (Jun 7th, 2008)

The best-in-class notification framework for Mac OS X, Growl, just got updated to version 1.1.3.

iPhonesque makes Growl look like the iPhone

by Mike Schramm (Jan 31st, 2008)

Can't say I ever really vibed with any of the default Growl styles (Music Video is cool for showing off your Mac, but a little too distracting for common use), and I've pretty much just stuck with Smoke, because it's simple and cool looking. But iPhonesque is nice enough to make me switch without a ...

Growl 1.1. released

by Mat Lu (Sep 8th, 2007)

Growl is one of my favorite Mac utilities. It adds a system-wide notification system to your System Preferences that other applications can plug into for displaying messages.

If you're looking for the 'next thing' with which to boost your Facebook ninja status, Subsume just might be it. Right now it's an alpha so it's a little rough around the edges, but it primarily displays updates from your Facebook friends with Growl, a TUAW favorite that allows applications to ...

by Mike Schramm (Jul 13th, 2007)
