Mac App A Day Launches With A Tune
Mac App A Day launched this morning with their first free giveaway for TuneX, a utility that allows iTunes access from any application. Very nice. They plan on giving away 5000 copies of a different applications every day during the month of December.
Today’s application TuneX is a easy to use application that allows you to access iTunes through any application on your computer. It is designed around the idea that it will take up only the minimal amount of screen space by sliding underneath
the menu bar when not in use.
This controller gives you access to the most fundamental features of iTunes such as Play/Pause, Back Track, Next Track, Volume and more from with in any running application on your computer.
Pick up your copy of today’s application here.

SteffSame here, yannic.
Oh well, at least I have Menuet for the same thing! I’m still happy.

Found out about this through MacZOT, it’s pretty nice but it takes up too much space on my 12″ display. I prefer using keyboard shortcuts through Quicksilver to control my iTunes.

Michael → michaelyurechko.com
Guys, I have an extra copy of both MailSteward Lite and TuneX. So just email me if you want one:
michaelyurechko (at) gmail
@ Codie.
I believe it is 9pm your time. :) . It was released at 12am saturday morning so that translates to 9pm saturday night your you in NZ. Anyone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong ;)

7 hours after it starts I get my copy of MailStewartLite. Maybe the 5000 copies ’shortage’ isn’t so short after all?
#11
Michael → michaelyurechko.com
@ Josh.
I think most people don’t get up until 10 on saturdays. (I get up at 1.30pm :-P). So if you were up early you would’ve gotten your copy.
#12
Codie WestphallHey i got a copy of mail stewart just 5 mins ago, doesnt seem to be as popular today, to tell you the truth i dont even know if i have a use for the program but no harm in trying it out
#13
Codie Westphall@Michael
thanks, 9pm gotta remember that

Well after a good first day, I don’t see myself using MailStewart. Plus there has been some mirror sites that have given the MacAppADay people some trouble
#15
yannic → yannicwalter.de
I don’t use it, too… Maybe I have have to give it some attention, but it didn’t blow me away at the first glance, like e.g. Cha-Ching did.
#16
Michael → michaelyurechko.com
I just got it. Cookie Assassin. I deleted it after I tried it. It’s lame.
#17
Josh → maconlyreview.wordpress.com
Just downloaded Cookie Assassin as well. I don’t get why you can’t just go into Safari, Firefox etc. and delete the Cookies yourself
#18
yannic → yannicwalter.de
I agree it’s lame..
I hope they come up with something better tomorrow..

I don’t like TuneX at all!
I prefer a free application that has MANY more features. It’s called GimmeSomeTune.

Smaran → smarandayal.com
Btw, day 2 just went live. I just submitted it to digg:
http://digg.com/apple/MacAppADay_Day_2_Cookie_Assassin
The app is pretty okay, except that it’s PowerPC, not Universal and the license page took forever to load.
#21
Smaran → smarandayal.com
@ Codie, Josh: What in the world is MailStewart? I thought day 1 was TuneX and day 2 is Cookie Assasin!
Can you guys clarify this.
@ Michael: Do you still have that extra copy of MailStewart?
#22
Josh → maconlyreview.wordpress.com
@ Smaran
Day two was MailStewart, day three was Cookie Assassin. Neither have been attractive options for me.
#23
yannic → yannicwalter.de
Cookie Assasin is crap…
Why would they give us not UB software to download??
hmm…
#24
Smaran → smarandayal.com
Damn! I missed MailStewart! What does it do?
#25
Josh → maconlyreview.wordpress.com
I missed Yummy FTP today, at least I thought. I rushed to download it at school, but I’d used up all my work space. Ahh well, Transmit is where my money is going when I put my blog on it’s own domain and I need an FTP app.
#26
Smaran → smarandayal.com
I missed Yummy FTP too :-(
I hate MacAppADay. MacHeist is my boo.
#27
Josh → maconlyreview.wordpress.com
Just downloaded an app called Shoebox, a tool for cataloging large photo collections apparently. However the system is slow and I can’t send off for my licence key. This just gets worse and worse
#28
Glenn Wolsey → www.glennwolsey.com
Today’s app’s site is very slow for me too.
#29
Smaran → smarandayal.com
Thanks for the reminder, I’m downloading it now.
#30
Smaran → smarandayal.com
Argh. You guys are right. This is so slow it’s killing me. And I’m the one who is used to a slow Internet connection (256k).
#31
Smaran → smarandayal.com
Just zapped Shoebox. It sucks. It’s like Finder, but for photos and aims at replacing iPhoto, but does a shit job at it.
#32
Josh → maconlyreview.wordpress.com
Today’s app, Shadow Clipboard 3 is just a direct download so there shouldn’t be any slowdown. It looks like its a clipboard along the lines of iClip. Any thoughts?

Sorry for the duplicate comments Glenn, you can delete the first.

MacAppADay has gotten so lame. Look at today’s free app :-(

Josh → maconlyreview.wordpress.com
The last two apps have been really good, Mira today and XSlimmer yesterday. However these really pale in comparison to the MacHeist. I can’t wait for the final bundle
#36
Smaran → smarandayal.com
Yeah, MacHeist kicks MAAD butt. I’m not using a single app from MAAD. Xlsimmer was okay, but no great shakes. And I still haven’t got my Mira license (it’s been hours since I filled the form).
#37
Josh → maconlyreview.wordpress.com
Smaran, have you checked your spam filter? A lot of the licences I’ve sent off for have been stuck in my Gmail spam filter and therefore haven’t been reaching my Mail app. I really need to find a way of Mail handling all my spam instead of Gmail doing it for me
#38
Smaran → smarandayal.com
@ Josh: Yes, I’ve been checking my Gmail spam filter often. The XSlimmer code got stuck there. Still no Mira serial :-(
