Free Download   |   Thank Me

Missing any good new iTunes visualizers lately? I know I did... so I went ahead and made the one I always wanted.

The visualizer takes the album cover art of the current track you're listening to and inserts it into a high quality better-than-life rotating CD jewel case. It's a simple and aesthetic way of giving your music new life with a serious touch of nostalgia.

Hypnotize Mac OS X application.

Hypnotize
Free Download   |   Thank Me

Have you ever fallen asleep on the movie, TV series or, even worse, the streaming webcast you were watching on your Mac, only to have the sound and light arouse you from sleep throughout the entire night? Have you ever wondered why every TV since the late eighties have had a timed off-function, while your state-of-the-art Mac still can't pull this simple trick off? Well, wonder no more...

Hypnotize for Mac OS X is a collection of timers for your Dock telling the movie to shut up and your Mac to shut down when time is up.

Simply add the Hypnotize folder as a stack to the Dock for easy access. Whenever needed, simply fan out the stack, run the timer with the interval of choice, and your computer will shut down once time has run out. Was the movie interesting? Press 'Reset Timer', and the countdown starts all over again. Hypnotize will halt the shutdown if any applications with unsaved documents are running. This way Hypnotize is completely safe, preventing you from losing any unsaved data during the shutdown process. By default, Hypnotize is set to shut down the computer after 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, but these intervals can easily be changed in Script Editor if needed.

Hypnotize 1.5 is a Universal Binary, and is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3 Panther or newer. Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or newer supported with 'Gatekeeper' disabled. Hypnotize is open-source, and is published under a 'Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License'.

Functional Mac OS X application.

Functional
Free Download   |   Thank Me

Functional for Mac OS X is a collection of utilities bringing the basic Mac OS X functions from the Apple menu to your Dock. It is the spiritual companion of 'Hypnotize'.

Add the Functional folder as a stack to the Dock, and Locking, Logging Out, Restarting, Shutting Down or Sleeping your Mac will be just a mouse-click away. As with 'Hypnotize', Functional ensures the safety of your valuable work by halting the process if you have forgotten to save any documents.

Functional 1.4 is a Universal Binary, and is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3 Panther or newer. Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or newer supported with 'Gatekeeper' disabled. Functional is open-source, and is published under a 'Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License'.

Obscurity Mac OS X application programmed by Brynjar Bye.

Obscurity
Free Download   |   Thank Me

Obscurity for Mac OS X is a handy little utility for hiding all those private files and precious memories you don't want anyone else to find.

The application is as simple as it is elegant. Obscurity seems just like a generic Mac OS X folder. Simply place the 'folder' anywhere you want, and anyone snooping around your stuff deciding to double-click it will unknowingly arrive in an empty mock folder. However, if you right-click the 'folder' and choose 'Show Package Contents' from the contextual menu, a completely different folder will show up ready for you to hide all those intimate movies, pictures and old love letters in. It even hides all your secret documents from Spotlight and those pesky 'All Images', 'All Movies' and 'All Documents' Smart Folders in Finder. You can rename and/or duplicate Obscurity to your heart's content creating as many custom secret folders as you need. Obscurity doesn't modify your files or the operating system in any shape, way or form making it the safest way to keep your stuff away from curious eyes.

Obscurity 1.5 is a Universal Binary, and is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3 Panther or newer. Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or newer supported with 'Gatekeeper' disabled. Obscurity is open-source, and is published under a 'Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License'.

Vox Legacy Mac OS X application.

Vox Legacy
Free Download   |   Thank Me

Vox is a light-weight music player supporting a plethora of audio formats, including lossless music (ALAC, FLAC, OGG, APE), compressed music (AAC, MP3, MP2, MP1, MPC), uncompressed music (AIFF, WAV), tracker music (MOD, IT, XM, S3M, UMX, MTM, MO3), and video game music (SPC, GYM, VGM, VGZ, HES, NSF, GBS, SAP, KSS, AY).

Vox is neither my work, nor do I claim to have any relation to its creation whatsoever. However, through my eyes, Alessio Nonni's original Vox 0.2.7 is still the very best music player available on the Mac, and Vox Legacy for Mac OS X breathes new life into Vox with support for Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite and newer.

The original unmodified Vox 0.2.7 application is included in the download.

Vox Legacy 1.2 is a Universal Binary, and is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or newer. Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or newer supported with 'Gatekeeper' disabled. Vox Legacy itself is open-source, and is published under a 'Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License'.

ROMlaunch Mac OS X application.

ROMlaunch
Free Download   |   Thank Me

Emulation of past gaming systems is a wonderful way to reminisce and play all those great games your owned and loved in your childhood on your new computer. At the current moment there is a flurry of great emulators to choose from for the Mac, and most of them readily associate with their respective games making the games double-clickable in Finder. However, there are a select few emulators which do not inherit this capability.

ROMlaunch for Mac OS X consists of a series of unobtrusive emulator frontends providing file type associations between these select few emulators and their respective games:

- ROMlaunch SCUMM associates bitmap graphic adventure games with ScummVM.
- ROMlaunch MAME associates arcade games with MAME OS X.
- ROMlaunch JAG associates Atari Jaguar games with Virtual Jaguar.
- ROMlaunch J2ME associates Java mobile games with mpowerplayer.
- ROMlaunch GRIME associates polygonal graphic adventure games with ResidualVM.
- ROMlaunch 32X associates Sega 32X, CD, Genesis, Game Gear and Master System games with Kega Fusion.
(- ROMlaunch DOS associates PC games with DOSBox (longtime obsoleted and relevant code donated to Alun Bestor and his awesome Boxer).)

ROMlaunch 1.9 is a Universal Binary, and is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3 Panther or newer. Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or newer supported with 'Gatekeeper' disabled. ROMlaunch is open-source, and is published under a 'Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License'.

Startup Classic Mac OS application.

Startup
Free Download   |   Thank Me

Returning to Mac OS 9 again after almost 15 years was like finally coming home. The system both looked and felt every bit as amazing as I remembered. Well, almost. I could have sworn the Mac OS 9 startup screen having a brightly colored orange number 9. Seems that never really was the case...

Introducing Startup for Classic Mac OS. The Mac OS startup according to my memories.

Every startup screen from Mac OS 9 down to System 6 has been carefully recreated with pixel-perfect precision, and each Mac OS version number colored with the Pantone Matching System according to official promotional materials for each separate version of Mac OS. More surprisingly, Apple Inc.'s own grayscale and monochrome startup screens do not align pixel-by-pixel with their full-color counterparts, and this has also been corrected in Startup.

Startup 1.3 are ResEdit archives, and is compatible with Mac OS 7.5 or newer. ResEdit required for installation. Startup is open-source, and is published under a 'Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License'.
