Best Mac Tools

Path Finder by CocoaTech includes so many features which significantly enhance Finder that it is hard to imagine a power user who could not easily justify the $39.95 pricetag at the end of the 30 day free trial.

Features such as tabbed file browsing and a file bookmarking, dual pane file browser, the “drop stack” and the integrated compression engine all will make common activities quicker and easier — and that’s what it’s all about when it comes to utilities for your Mac.

The MacHeist 3 Bundle is a way of getting nearly $700 worth of Mac software for just $39 AND 25% of that goes to charity.

At the time I am writing this, nearly 40,000 bundles have been sold which means that nearly $400,000 has been raised for the supported charities.

I would be surprised if you cannot find more than one application in the bundle which will be a welcome addition to your applications folder. And MacHeist even allow you to gift any of the applications in the bundle before you place your order!

I’m particularly looking forward to trying Kinemac, a 3D animation package.

Anyways, I strongly suggest that you check to see if the offer is still current.

Recently I reviewed OmniFocus by the Omni Group in this blog. I continue to use and recommend this excellent application.

Not long ago Omni Group released four of their previously shareware applications as freeware — a Web browser, OmniWeb, a screen and effects application, OmniDazzle, and a useful utility to identify a large files on your disks, OmniDiskSweeper and a developer tool, OmniObjectMeter.

One can anticipate that, being released as freeware, the likelihood of future updates years problematic. I’m not sure that the world needs another browser, but these applications are a worth a look given the quality of the Omni offerings in general.

Please leave a comment if you decide to use any of these new applications. All can be downloaded from the Omni Web site.
