Marked: MultiMarkdown preview, everywhere

This is a great new application which does one thing very beautifully: it previews a dropped markdown file, and updates when the file is saved. You can have the window open next to your editor window, and get a Markdown preview plus word/character/line count for free, with any editor.

Egg Freckles | Burning A Lion Boot Disc

One to squirrel away for July: how to burn a Lion boot disc using the App Store download. There are times when I'm travelling and don't have internet access that being able to reinstall from a DVD or USB stick would be vital.

Terminally Geeky: use automatic login more securely

Set up your Mac to login automatically, but also immediately start the login window: the result is that your applications start up and update in the background, but you are not leaving your machine open to any one who does not know your password. Seems like a decent compromise.

Instapaper Beyond

Tower - The most powerful Git client for Mac

This looks very impressive. Git is pretty easy to use from the command line, but I can see the benefits of having a well-designed gui for the commands which you use less frequently, or are easier to use visually.

Iconfactory : Home : Filing a Flight Plan

Interesting insight into Iconfactory's changing design process for Twitterrific. I think that the market for a good Mac client is still wide open, despite Twitter's acquisition of Atebits, so I'm glad to see that Iconfactory have concrete plans to redevelop Twiterrific for the Mac.

Justin Blanton | Create a simple timer using LaunchBar and AppleScript

This is brilliant. I often feel the need for a quick timer like this, but a standalone application feels like overkill. Not only does using a timer mean that you don't miss something because you get wrapped up in work, but it also means that you are free to get wrapped up in work without looking at your watch every two minutes, worrying that you'll forget to do something.

DropLook • Jazzio Labs

QuickLook is so convenient (particularly for Word .doc files) that I've often found myself wanting to keep a QuickLook window or two open while I switch apps. This is the solution to that problem, it seems.

Aptonic Software - Dropzone

Very interesting app which provides custom 'Destinations' to perform handy tasks. It's nothing you couldn't do with an Applescript, but it's very slick and easy to use. Even better, it has a brilliant API with which you can create Destinations in Ruby. It's simple, but really powerful.

How to force Safari 4 to open links in a new Tab instead of a new Window : Switching To Mac

Matt & Adina :: Backpack Scripts for LaunchBar

Example scripts for sending stuff direct to Backpack pages from Launchbar. If you find the list ID from the page source, you can send items to specific lists on the page. If you make a collection of appropriately named scripts, you can quickly add things to Backpack without visiting the web page. Very nice!
