Mac Must Have: Hazel | The Brooks Review

I bought Hazel and while ago, and have been meaning to blog about it. This is a very eloquent explanation of the beauty and usefulness of Hazel. I have a Hazel rule (using Applescript) which imports PDF files placed in a 'Receipts to File' folder on my desktop into a Receipts group in DevonThink Pro, then trashes the original. I use that a lot.

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.

Printopia - Share Your Mac's Printers to iPhone and iPad

An easy, no-configuration way to print to any printer (or PDF or Dropbox) from an iOS device which is on the same wifi network. Looks nifty, though I haven't ever felt the need to print from my iPhone so far.

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.

Academic writing extensions to Markdown

A ruby gem utility which adds various academic manuscript related syntax features to Markdown, and helps to pre-process files for later conversion with something like Pandoc. Looks interesting.

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
