LockTight is a Preference Pane that lets you lock your screen with a single keystroke. More accurately, it lets you enable the screensaver with a single keystroke, then if you have your Security preferences set to “Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver” your computer will be safe. This is an alternative to using a mouse corner to activate the screen saver. This is based on a similar program called SleepTight, but LockTight should work on Intel Macs as well.

Sheet Speed will “will allow you to change the speed that sheets move on your documents and in your applications. Examples of these sheets are the drop down sheets you see when you save a file in TextEdit and many other applications.”

If you are one of those folks who prefer speed over beauty, this app is for you. It installs as a Preference Pane in System Preferences and works great.

Dashboard on Mac OS X Tiger is a lot of fun for me. There are so many widgets out there to use. Maybe there are too many. Widget Manager helps with this.

Widget Manager is a preference pane that will let you “inspect, remove and disable any Dashboard Widget.”

Yes, I know there is a widget from Apple now that will let you do this. But this preference pane has a few benefits over the widget.

First, it is in your System Preferences so it won’t take up room on your dashboard.
Second, you can disable a widget so you still have a copy but it isn’t in your widget drawer.
Third, this preference pane will let you get rid of the default Apple widgets as well.

Detour is an app for sending audio from a specific application to a specific output. From Detour’s site:

“Technically speaking, Detour allows you to send audio to different output devices on an application-specific basis. What does that mean exactly? It means you can…

…send music from iTunes to your external USB speakers and keep the annoying beeps and blips of iChat going through your computer’s built-in speaker.

…mute any application’s sounds all together.

…change the volume of some applications relative to others. Make your email client’s alerts quieter, and you’ll never again be jarred from work just to receive spam.”

That’s about all the explanation that’s necessary. Cool app.

I’m quite religious at keeping my address book up to date. I think I’m one of the few people who appreciate when friend, enemies and acquaintances send you those ” I have a new phone number/email/whatever.” I like the info when I need it.

Because I stay on top of my address book, I use it a lot. That is why I really, really, really like TapDex.

Tapdex is brought up with a hotkey that you decide. You can type the person that you are looking for and it will find it in your address book. The reason I like this more than the address book widget is because when it finds the one person you’re looking for, the window will resize to show all the info. Clicking on an email address will open a new message. Clicking on the address or phone number will make it large text so you can see it from across the room.

I’ve wanted this for a long time but didn’t find it until now. SizzlingKeys provides global keyboard shortcuts for controlling iTunes. For example, if iTunes is playing in the background, I can press Command-Option-Right Arrow to skip to the next song, even if I’m working in Safari. SizzlingKeys supports Play, Stop, Next song, Previous song, and increasing or decreasing the iTunes volume (not the system volume), as well as several other commands. The Play shortcut will even open iTunes if it’s not already open. Gold medal to SizzlingKeys!

Textpander makes typing easier by “expanding” your “text”. You can set abbreviations for longer phrases that you type often and let Textpander take away the tediousness. For example, you can set it up so typing “mysig” expands into “Sincerely, John Doe.” You can also set abbreviations for the current date and time. Great for anyone that types common phrases often, like responding to a lot of emails.

It installs as a System Preference Pane so it works with every application.

Textpander is no longer freeware. Shame, shame.
