- Weight Tracker 1.0 (free) helps people of all ages track their weight, keeping a freeform log of sugar readings, diet, and exercise. The application displays short, medium, and long term trends while comparing progress to personal weight goals and to an "ideal weight" based on height or age. The software uses weight tables which include widely-accepted standards for ideal weight, as well as password protection. [Download - 1.2MB]
- SharePoints 3.5.4, Picture Namer 1.5.2, and AFS Monitor 1.0.2 (donationware) offer native support for Intel-based Macs. SharePoints allows users to add and delete share points freely, removing the restriction Mac OS X imposes which forces users to share items only within the public folder. Picture Namer renames pictures residing in folders, and is ideal for batch renaming photos downloaded from digital cameras. AFS Monitor tracks current connections to the local AppleFileServer (AFS), displaying the number of connected users, who those users are, and how many files/directories they have created/deleted.
