Scribble on Your Screen
$13; Panic Software
Make Your Macs Share
free; Erik Lagercrantz
When you use more than one Mac, transferring the Clipboard’s contents from one machine to another is no easy matter. But Erik Lagercrantz’s ClipboardSharing makes it simple: copy something, choose Send My Clipboard from the menu icon, and specify the target machine. Presto, the Clipboard goes to the other Mac.— Rob Griffiths
Mouse in the Spotlight
free; Boinx Software
Work Some Magic
free; Peter Maurer
Minimizing windows is easy: press Command-M, and off they go to the Dock. Unminimizing them? Not so easy. You have to mouse over to the dock, scroll back and forth until you find the window you want, and then click on it. Try Peter Maurer’s Witch instead.
Press a hot key, and Witch shows all your minimized windows in an easy-to-use list. Witch works on unminimized windows, too.— Rob Griffiths
