Mechanism Software for OS X
Balzac
Balzac is an email application for OS X 10.4 and above, which aims to provide clear views on your mail whilst allowing fast, sophisticated searches of past correspondence. It has been written to utilise all the advanced services available in OS X, from the address book to the built in spell-checker.
Fragmenta
Fragmenta is a tool for generating static websites from folders of files and images. Instead of using a manual editing tool like coda or dreamweaver, you can generate from files containing ruby code, textile markup. You can even use rtf or word documents to style text, though textile is preferable. Image metadata is also read in from the XMP tags.
SpeakTime
SpeakTime is a speaking clock application for OS X 10.4 and up. Originally created when OS X didn’t support announcing the time periodically. It allows you to schedule spoken reminders in the voice and volume of your choice, show multiple desktop clocks with different time-zones, and speak the time in a more sophisticated manner than the system clock. There is also an optional animated dock icon.
DG-100 Reader
DG-100 reader is a simple little OS X application which reads files from the US GlobalSat DG-100 on OS X. This allows you to avoid the annoying Windows software bundled by USGlobalSat. You can download all your recent points all in one go, see how much space is used, and optionally delete tracks from the device at the same time. The .gpx file produced is then opened in your default application for .gpx files (I use GPSPhotoLinker to tag images).
HumaxGUI
HumaxGui is an application for transferring video files from a Humax PVR to your computer. The GUI app was written by Andrew Smith, based on code by Andy Chappell. From here you can download the OS X port built for Leopard, which bundles the required libraries. This version is a Universal binary and works on OS X 10.4 and above.
Cashou Processor
Cashou Processor is a private utility for Cashou Picture Research.
