Review of a Mac-based invoicing/time-keeping thing. (via Daring Fireball)

Rockbox - Open Source Jukebox Firmware
I had no idea there was open source alternative software for MP3 players, including early iPods. (via Boing Boing)
-
Ukelele - Mac OS X Keyboard Layout Editor
Could be your solution if you’re trying to use a UK Windows keyboard (or something else non-Apple) with a Mac.
-
Synium - MacFamilyTree
Very whizzy-looking Mac software for managing one’s family tree and outputting it in many different ways, including weird 3D grids and a globe.

iSquint - iPod Video Made Easy.
Free converter for making video into iPod/iPhone-friendly video. (via Haddock)
-
Jaikoz Audio Tagger
Multi-platform ID3 tagging app, for most kinds of music file, using MusicBrainz and MusicIP. 15 quid, but powerful, even if a bit, you know, Java.
-
AntiRSI - TECH.inhelsinki.nl
I’ve tried a few apps that nag you to take a break from the computer. I was using TimeOut but this manages to be both more subtle and more insistent.
-
The RoundCube Webmail Project
Nice looking, free, open source web-based IMAP email client.
-
Mozy Online Backup: Simple, Automatic, Secure
Simple-sounding online backup service for Windows or Mac. (via Haddock) (UPDATE, 2009: Heard not so good feedback about it, trying Backblaze instead.)
-
GarageBuy Homepage
Free Mac application for browsing eBay and buying stuff. Much nicer than the site itself. There’s also a pay-for app for selling stuff. (via Yoz)
-
Install multiple versions of IE on your PC | TredoSoft
This has come a long way since I last looked at this kind of thing. Now comes with a handy installer.
-
Orbicule | Undercover | F.A.Q.
Fascinating software and service to help trace your Mac if it’s stolen. Even sounds vaguely feasible. (via Daring Fireball)
-
Celtx - Overview
Free, good-looking software for writing scripts, storyboards, planning productions, etc.
-
iLAS
Almost identical to iTunes-LAME, except it works. And with a newer version of LAME. What I’m now using.
-
StuMoD - freight train of wit and cleverosity
NMP3 Ripper is another alternative for encoding MP3s using LAME, but I haven’t tried it.
-
Max from sbooth.org
Blacktree’s iTunes-LAME script for encoding MP3s with LAME malfunctions with recent versions of iTunes. Max is an alternative, but seems a bit overkill just for this job.
-
Review: iDefrag for OS X - PaulStamatiou.com
Raves for a disk defragging tool for Macs, and discussion about the fact it is needed despite what many think.
-
Codejedi.com - Home of Shadow Plan for Palm OS
Notebook, outliner, etc to maybe try one day, although the website design makes me distrust the software before I’ve even looked at it.
-
Mori | Hog Bay Software
Mac notebook app to try one day. Maybe I can sync it with my Treo somehow?
-
GUIdebook > Splashes
It’s like TV Cream’s archive of 1970s TV idents, but for geeks. Photoshop 2.5, Quark 3… ahhhh. (via Drawn!)
-
Dejal - Narrator
Handy Mac app for reading out stories or scripts. Can give each script character a different voice, and leave a gap for you to say your lines.
-
Peter Maurer - Witch
Application switcher for Mac that lets you switch between windows, not just applications. Very handy for those of us trying to avoid the mouse. Oodles of options.
-
3000 miles from home | aram kudurshian’s web site | high priority
Mac OS X toolbar to-do list manager. For me to remember if I start using iCal’s to do list. (via plasticbag.org)
-
Overview : Xyle scope : Cultured Code
Rather smart HTML- and CSS-examining application for the Mac. Looks complicated, but I imagine it could be invaluable over time.
-
StickyBrain
To remember in case I ever need a more comprehensive notes/to dos/actions application than simple .txt files.
-
Dejal - Time Out!
Break-enforcing thing for Mac OS X. Liking it more than MacBreakz - more modern and more free (but no random exercise suggestions).
-
MacBreakZ - Your Personal Ergonomic Assistant - RSI prevention and recovery - Macintosh
I’m giving this a go, in an effort to prevent my shoulders seizing up. Good, although the app feels a bit old fashioned.
-
Speed Reading, Reading Improvement and Assessment - AceReader Software by StepWare, Inc.
I read annoyingly slowly.
-
Blacktree - Forums - View topic - Doesn’t work under 10.4
Yay, new version of iTunes-BPM which works under Tiger (helps you set the BPM of tracks by clicking in time).
-
Michael Tsai - Blog - My New Backup Strategy
I’m always intrigued by other people’s Mac backup strategies.
-
Blahgger: I Haven’t Forgotten, And We Will Never Forget.
Steve Gedikian of Nullsoft on what it’s like to sell your little company to a big one.

Panic - Extras - The True Story of Audion
Cabel Sasser on the story of developing Audion and the emergence of iTunes. A long but great read.
