I often see comments on Mac OS X feature-related articles from users who feel that Apple should include this or that feature. Read more “30 Mac OS X apps and utilities I love: Part 3” →

Snapz Pro X with video capture capability costs you $69 and is well worth it if you do a lot of screen captures. It also gives you the ability to keep the cursor visible, keep or remove drop shadows, add watermarks, and much more. When it comes to static image capture of your screen, Snapz Pro can capture your entire screen, specific windows, or user definable portions of your screen with a keyboard shortcut, and save it in a number of formats. Snapz Pro X offers everything you would expect in a screen capture utility, with the added ability to capture video and audio of your Mac’s screen (a feature I love to use when a web site attempts to prevent downloading of audio or video!). They all look spectacular, but I’ve stayed with Snapz Pro X because it offers the perfect balance of features at a reasonable price. The last few years has seen several fancy-pants screen capture utilities come to market.
The applications listed below contains a few “old timers” and several Johnny-Come-Lately apps that have found a permanent home on my Mac. Today I conclude the series with 10 more apps that I love to use. Last week I published 10 of my favorite apps in Part 1, and another 10 in Part 2.

That being said, most of what I install gets used once or twice, then discarded. Over the years I’ve installed a lot of commercial software, shareware and freeware on my Macs. Pop-Calendar is available directly from the developer’s site, or in the Mac App Store. That’s all there is to it, and that’s why I love it!īeside being free, simple to use, and easy on the eyes, it already works in Mac OS X Yosemite-though I do hope the developer adds transparency once Yosemite ships in the fall. Pop-Calendar offers the ability to set a keyboard shortcut to show the window, as well as the ability to turn on and off individual calendars from Apple’s Calendar app. You can also add new calendar events simply by clicking a small + icon at the top of the pop-up window that appears when clicking on a day. When you click on an individual day, you can see the day’s events. Pop-Calendar uses Apple’s built-in Calendar app to display all your events in either view. Pop-Calendar will remember which you view you used last, but you can switch at any time. When you click the icon, you can view the entire year at once or single month view (click the screenshot above for a larger view) by clicking on the month name. Pop-Calendar is a free utility that placed the date in a calendar icon in your menubar. I gave up looking for a simple replacement.Ī few days ago I came across Pop-Calendar from Magnesium-App.

It did nothing else, but it was useful to me to be able to see a full month calendar. I'm pretty sure Hammerspoon can do anything KM can, but I imagine KM is easier to use, particularly if you're not into programming.A few years back I had an app that would show a simple calendar icon in the menubar which when clicked would drop down a simple calendar of the current month.
I can't tell whether it enables you to create stuff for the menu bar. I haven't tried Keyboard Maestro - at a glance it looks really good, but doesn't appear to be open source like Hammerspoon. I've tried rewriting this app for polybar on Linux but it's much more difficult to maintain, and sadly too much effort for me to bother with right now. My job involves frequently reviewing PRs so this was really helpful for me. Probably the most useful one was a Bitbucket pull request checker, which would monitor the status of open pull requests and display information about which PRs I hadn't yet viewed or approved, number of new comments since I last viewed the PR, build status etc. I mostly used it to create small utility applications for the menu bar. I'm not the person you're asking, and I do most of my work on a PC running Linux now, but Hammerspoon is one of a few things I really miss about OSX.
