2009 brings great things for Mac users. Snow Leopard comes out this year and a some new exciting apps are on the horizon. All of the ones I’m going to discuss are in public beta or the final version will be released next week during Macworld ’09 or later. I won’t go into too much detail on these apps, just wanted those not aware of these great tools to download and try them out for themselves.
Things
First up is Things form Cultured Code. They recently relased 1.0RC2 and are planning on releasing the final version at Macworld ’09. Things is a task management app based on cocoa with a slick and very intuitive interface. You can organize tasks by projects, areas, teammates as well as put tasks into a today and someday queue. Things will cost $49.95 USD and there is also a Things iPhone version available now for $9.99 USD.
Fontcase
The next app I’m excited about is Fontcase from Bohemian Coding. Fontcase is a new font management app for Leopard. I personally think it’s designed better than Suitcase Fusion and FontExplorer X. It has a unique way of viewing and organizing fonts. You can find a good review of Fontcase over at the The Danimal. No word yet on a price for Fontcase. It is currently in public beta and you can download Fontcase from http://www.bohemiancoding.com/download/fontcase.zip.
EventBox
Last but not least is EventBox developed by The Cosmic Machine. This is an all-in-one social networking application allows you to post updates to Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and share links to Reddit and in the future Digg.com. EventBox makes it easier to post to multiple social networks and for some, such as Flickr and Facebook, you can view images too. EventBox is currently $15 USD until they release a final version, then it will cost $20 USD.
That’s all I have. Please download and try these great apps. They’ve helped me to be better organized.
Hey, nice site.
