This is where Clarus comes in. Its the one stop shop for keeping control of your pets records and its a dream to use.

DaisyDisk – Cool Data Visualization

I like programs which show you how your disk is laid out. Finding which files take up the most space is usually the culprit of why your disk space if slowly disappearing. The visual apps are the best, it takes you milliseconds to work out which files are the space hogs and may need to be euthanized. I’ve reviewed GrandPerspective in the past, that was old school. Today’s app, DaisyDisk, takes file visualization and uses all of the power of Mac OS X to display your files.

AppCleaner – Uninstall Those Apps For Free

A long while ago I reviewed AppZapper, its an application designed to go through your computer and help you delete applications. Normally when you delete an app it will leave behind files such a preference files etc. Although these apps are no longer used they are left on your system. As a result it can slowly increase your disk space. Its usually a good idea to get rid of them. AppZapper does cost you money, today’s app AppCleaner is a free app which does the same job.

SyncMate – Sync To Mobile Devices

A person who contacted me asked me to review their application Sync-Mate, I was only happy to oblige.

Its a really simple application that has a lot of good little features for getting everything synced up. I don’t personally have a compatible phone but my friends has used this application and he says it works really well. My review will be from his experiences.
