A couple of days ago I mentioned about ShoveBox, in a nutshell its an app which you can use to store all of the random bits of information you collect along the way. I mentioned about URLWell. This program is a designed to store all of those URL’s which you collect. I am talking about the ones you don’t want to bookmark but want to keep track of for later use. URLWell will git that gap.

Sorry for the complete lack of posts. If you have been following my twitter feed, you may notice that I have a lot of work on at the moment. Anyway, this program was recommended to me after I completely forgot a great idea I had for a post. In a nutshell it a menu bar program which is designed for you to shove bits of information for reminders later. It is very useful and can store a lot of little bits. Saves you having to keep hundreds of stickies laying around. This program is called ShoveBox.

I need a couple of alarm clocks. One doesn’t cut it, I tend to hit snooze, roll over and wonder why I am going to be late. Anyway I have round a really good free applications called Alarm Clock. It is an alarm clock program with built in timer and stop watch capabilities. It is great for anything that needs to be timed, or wake you up in the morning.

As part of “free” week this week, I am finding small but useful applications which you can use on your Mac, the main criterion being they are free. Today I have found Namely. It is a very small app which you can use to search for applications you your computer. You can then load this applications. It is similar to the very popular Todos, except this application is more specific in finding the program you want.

Sometimes you just have to geek out. One cool way is to have a binary clock. As part of free week (this week is all about free applications) I have found XBC (main site down at writing), it is a binary clock that is really fun to use. Once you get the hang of it is also really simple to read and understand. The great thing about XBC is that it is really small so take up a lot less room on your menu bar.

Recording what you buy is very useful. In the event of a theft, insurance or an interesting way of knowing what you have bough having a reference could be very useful. Librarian Pro is designed to fill that gap. It is a database application that is designed to record your purchases. You input the details of your product and it gets added to the database. It is very similar to the popular Delicious Library, although Librarian Pro is the cheaper version.
