Quicksilver Leaves Beta After Decade of Development ⇢
Yeah, I’m sticking with Alfred.
More Alfred 2.0 Workflows ⇢
While I thought that Evernote/Alfred 2 thing was cool, some of the workflows in this post blow my mind.
NetNewsWire to Return ⇢
Daniel Pasco, over at Black Pixel:
First, we intend to bring sync to future versions of NetNewsWire. It’s too soon to go into details about this, but you should know that we recognize how extremely important it is and that it is a top priority for us.
Second, even though we’ve been quiet about it, we have been working on new versions of NetNewsWire for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. We have some great new features and a modern design that we can’t wait to show you.
GarageBand for iOS Gains Audiobus Support ⇢
The update allows users to easily pipe audio in and out of GarageBand with other apps. Very cool.
Search Evernote With Alfred 2 ⇢
It’s not super fast, but it works well.
On the Merging of Mailbox and Dropbox ⇢
Pat Dryburgh at the now-oddly-named Brooks Review:
Today, Mailbox holds little appeal to me. This is because I don’t need a new front-end for my email. I need a new back-end.
Pat’s suggestion of marrying Mailbox’s UI to Dropbox’s powerful file management system is genius, and after reading it, so incredibly obvious that Dropbox would be foolish not to do this.
Fake Thrift Savings Plan App in App Store ⇢
A nameless government blogger:
A free iPhone app called TSP Funds is currently being offered through the Apple store. It asks Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) participants for their account log in information.
This is not an official TSP app and the TSP does not recommend using this app to access your TSP account.Providing your information could result in a security risk to your account.
So, what’s crazier: that this app was approved by Apple, or that the government has a Tumblr account?
Dropbox for Mac and PC Gets Overhaul ⇢
Alex Wilhelm:
Today Dropbox announced upgrades to its desktop client to allow for quick sharing of files with others, and improved updates that will help users keep up with the service. The most significant update involves an easier way to share files with a link – not a new capability – directly from the Dropbox desktop menu, which cuts down on the steps needed to send content to others.
In keeping with that change, the Dropbox menu has been improved to also accept files more simply, with access to shared files – in the new link form – in the menu itself. The notifications will be sent out in real-time, according to the firm.
On Fantastical 1.1 ⇢
The best iPhone calendar app just got a lot better.
On Real Racing 3 ⇢
It’s a shame that EA’s ruined what was such a great title for iOS.
The ADN Client Feature Matrix ⇢
With App.net growing by leaps and bounds, Niels Kobschätzki is keeping up with all of the third-party clients that have sprung up around the service.
For what it’s worth, I’m using Felix on my iPhone, Zephyr on my iPad and Kiwi on my Mac.
