april 2010 by mottram
"Cinch gives you simple, mouse-driven window management by defining the left, right, and top edges of your screen as 'hot zones'. Drag a window until the mouse cursor enters one of these zones then drop the window to have it cinch into place."

"Namely is possibly the fastest way to open applications. And unlike some other launchers, it doesn't require any learning." I still use quite a few of Quicksilver's more fancy features, but if you don't this looks like a great little launcher.

Choosy - A smarter default browser for Mac OS X
october 2008 by mottram
"Forget the “default browser”, Choosy lets you open links in the browser you want. Just set up a few simple options and Choosy will do the right thing, whether that's opening a browser or letting you pick from some or all of the browsers on your system." Great little utility.
