Statoo – System status on your desktop…
I like this one. It shows you status messages (or tattoos!) like e-mail, battery levels etc in a nice little dock on your desktop.
Nice!
Schoolhouse 2: Track your grades and coursework
School house is a really nice application to track your School/College/University Grades and predict your scores, track assignments etc.
Its nice and FREE too!
iCustomize – Change your dock, stack and icon graphics in Leopard
iCustomize is a free application that changes and updates the graphics on your Leopard run Mac. Things you can change include the dock, stacks, system icons……see the screenshot below…
Its FREE…
iLeopard – Say goodbye to Aqua (Finally!)
Let’s face it, the Aqua interface has kinda had its day. Its influence is far and wide and many a company replicates it on their websites with shiny buttons and cool blue shades, but hey this is mac. Times are a changin’ and so is the mac UI, well at least some of it anyway.
iTunes was given a pretty serious overhaul and given the Leopard Look, but that still leaves most of the other apps including mail (above)…
iLeopard is a free utility that allows you to unify your mac UI and have it transformed into the sobre theme that we love in iTunes….but everywhere!
Dock Spaces – Have multiple docks for different things…
I bloomin love this one!
I love having a dock for every theme, one for web, one for communication, one for design, one for photography… I cant remember how I worked before this one, all I know is it involved a very long dock with teeeeeney icons.
Enjoy…..This ones a keeper!
Colorate – Create colour palettes from images
This one gathers colour information from an image or swatch and generates a pallette using the colours it finds. Neat, does what it says on the tin!
So for all you colour geeks out there ‘av a look!
FramebyFrame – Free Stopmotion capture from your isight (or usb webcam)
Hey guys, this app is cool. Its a bit like iStopmotion from Boinx except it has fewer features but most of all is FREE!
Its nice and easy to use and onion skins frame by frame so you and the kids can make a lil toon out of plasticine (or any other non-branded, generic modelling clay).
Oh and its another website made in iWeb…..hoorah!
Skim – Powerful PDF annotation…
I have to, as part of one of my professions, have to make notes on fairly long and wordy documents which are mostly in PDF format. Skim has some powerful features that Preview now can boast also.

Syrinx – Twitter like no Twitterer has Twittered before…
Syrinx is a nice and very customiseable twitter client, which unlike twitterific is free!
It appears quite basic at first but with a bit of tweaking you can get it looking how you like and its interface is nice and innocuous (bit of a big word for this time of the evening).
The website is done on iWeb too….. so bigmacblog points to the developer mr MMR (whoever you are!)
Punakea – Tag your world…
If your like me, a little bit obsessed with everything being in its right place, then you will like this one.
In a nutshell, Punakea is like an alternative to the finder, you can tag items away to your hearts content, pretty much the same way tagging works on wordpress etc or keywords in iPhoto or Aperture. Then you can sort you stuffage by tag. Oh and its free.
