Our Most Popular PostsActiontastic adds iCal and .Mac syncMerlin Mann | Jan 15 2007Actiontastic 0.9 gets iCal sync support Tim at Hawk Wings points out that Actiontastic .9 now supports Sync Services, making it easy to move your stuff to iCal, .Mac, as well as (previously added) your iPod. I haven't spent a whole lot of time with Actiontastic, but I admire its lean approach to task work (arguably a bit too lean for some folks). Still, I always feel like the less you have to fiddle with, the more likely you may be to actually do the stuff on your list. Also, making sync seamless and reliable is clearly something Mac users are coming to expect in most every app where it's practical. Plus, of course, it works with Quicksilver, and there's nothing wrong with that. 1 Comment

Mail.app smart mailboxesMartin Betts | May 14 2008After being turned on to Merlin's Inbox Zero presentation I've been rethinking my email workflow. I have been using Mail.app for a year or two now but am now just unlocking its power with regards to Smart Mailboxes. I've run into a couple of quick (hopefully) technical glitches which I'd love to have feedback on.

Finally... a Finder replacement even I can love!Todd Russell | Oct 18 2007http://www.ironicsoftware.com/leap/index.html Wow... trust me, just stop what you are doing, download the Leap Beta and spend 15 minutes playing around. Not sure what the performance will be on older machines, but it works great on the MBP 2.2GHz with 2GB of RAM. With apps like this, Leopard's new Finder seems less necessary than it did before. Tagging, a better Get Info that shows all metadata, Spotlight integration, great options in the right-click menu, etc.... Enjoy! Peace, Todd Russell http://groovechickenstudios.com POSTED IN:
