Intuition 1.2i Archive, Presentation, Study Tool [OS 10.2 up]
A fast solution to gathering important information that you've saved, want to find, or want to share. Intuition is a multi-paged document tool for your computer that gives you a simple and easy way to store your favorite e-mail's, web page information, and other documents of interest. Intuition has powerful gathering and search capabilities that can make finding what you need and the page that it originated from as easy to use as remembering a key word or phrase in the category where you left it.
When you use the internet to view a website you load one page at a time. When you use Intuition to view an Intuition file you load the whole website with all of its pages. This allows you to receive a website with navigational search and retrieve, as well as using a tool that allows you to add to the website after you have loaded the original. You can take notes for each page. You can merge your original file with other Intuition files of the same topic. You can even take internet pages and transform them on import.
In life your own intuition tells you something about some situation or some person. When you use Intuition to view a well constructed Intuition website you can use the search and retrieve tools and the topical dictionary to show you specific points or parts of what you are reading. For an example say the topic was an article about history. With one button click the Intuition website could show you all the important dates in history that the article contains. It would return all these points of interest with an author created snippet in context relating to the topic with links back to each point by page referenced clickable links.
When you use Intuition to save important emails or internet information you can create your own keywords or phrases to save your own defined snippets in context relating to the topic you would like to find at a later time. So Intuition becomes a capture tool that works for you just like an Intuition website. The more you put into it the more you can get out of it. You can even use it to create your own websites that you can share with other Intuition users.
Now surf the new Intuition Net by using the Search Intuition Net search engine. This search engine is so new that there is nothing to surf yet and will grow as webmasters create Intuition websites and submit their website locations to the net. So we will all see if it is true, "if you build it they will come."

RubberDockey 1.21 App Switcher Bezel That Anticipates Your App Usage [OS X 10.3 up]
Do you get tired of constantly updating your Dock with your latest, most popular apps? Do you use a wide array of applications, but don't want to cramp up the Dock Menu with 15 + Items? Then this is the Utility for you.
RubberDockey provides you with a list of applications it believes you are likely to use next, in the form of an easily accessible "Command-Tab"- like menu. RubberDockey first watches and learns about your application behavior, and then bases its assumptions on what it's seen you use before.
More elegant features include:
• Define the number of applications you wish to see in the Dock menu.
• Added integration, with the ability to auto-launch RubberDockey on startup.
• Decay feature, which ensures that RubberDockey doesn't simply base its assumptions on the number of times you've used an application.
New in this version:
• Update feature, which allows RubberDockey to check and notify you about new versions.
• Given those who've used an older version of RubberDockey a whole new week-long trial period, regardless of whether or not their old trial period has passed or not.
• Fixed a bug that would cause RubberDockey to unexpectedly quit with users who had previously used an older version of RubberDockey.
• Other minor bug fixes, including one that would stop some applications' icon from being displayed in RubberDockey's menu.
System requirements:
• Mac OS X 10.3 or later

Measuring Cup 1.1 Recipe Management Program [OS 10.2.8 up]
It's a recipe management program written in Cocoa, specifically for the Mac OS X operation system. Think iTunes or iPhoto for recipes. Specifically, these are the features:
• Simple organization of recipes. iTunes/iPhoto kind of organization. Allows user defined categories and sub-categories. Searchable.
• In-place editing. Some software have a presentation view that is different from a editing view. I find that cumbersome. I like to edit my recipe as easy as when I am viewing it.
• Undo/Redo support. Good - no, make that great - undo/redo support. I am a careless person and tend to make mistakes and so I absolutely need this support.
• Simple view of a recipe. Shows the most important detail in the main screen. The rest is tucked away in an Aqua drawer.
• Aqua luscious. I try to be a good OS X citizen.
• XML backing store. You probably don't care about this but I thought it would be cool to mention it. All recipes are stored as XML file for easy sharing eventually.
New in this version:
• Avoids a potential data loss problem
• cut-n-paste is now possible in places where drag-n-drop works
• Non admin users can launch the software the very first time
• You can drag recipes of the same category frome the Recipes List Table to a category in Category View
• Recipes List Table updated during undo/redo
• Creating a new sub-recipe immediately drops into edit mode for the name
• Dragging the same recipe to the same category will note result in double entry
• A bunch of other small improvements

NewNOTEPAD Pro 2.2b0 Enhanced Notepad [OS 9.1 up/ OS X 10.1 up]
NewNOTEPAD Pro is highly efficient memo pad software. It can use for writing down what putting on Mac's desktop's, making a note, and taking. Moreover, since it has a hierarchical tree list, it may also be the arrangement book which arranges and keeps various information, and it may be able to use also as a diary. Thus, NewNOTEPAD Pro is the convenient Note Pad which those who use can use freely.
Being written down on Note Pad can also paste a picture besides a character. Therefore, it is also possible for there to be nothing only as a mere memo pad and to create the text of rich power of expression. Since 'PictureClip' function to store only a picture in Note Pad is also in it, it becomes also a replacement of the picture database, or the scrapbook of Desk accessory.
Neither the Finder nor the standardized database arranges the information and picture file which were scatteringly saved in the disk until now, but if stored in the note file of NewNOTEPAD Pro, it is effectively manageable to one file. Moreover, the contents can also be searched with a package at high speed.
