The following are applications that I have written for myself, generally because I could not find suitable alternatives for Mac OS X.

These applications are not commercial products and are completely free. You are welcome to them if your needs are similar to mine.

Applications that are written for Snow Leopard require Mac OS X 10.6 or Mac OS X 10.7 running on Intel based Macintosh computers. Other applications are Universal Binaries and those applications run natively on both Intel and PowerPC based Macintosh computers.

Since I make use of functionality that are present in the operating system which I use at the time I write the programs, the applications may require a moderately current version of Mac OS X to run in, and will not work in older operating systems. I do not make any special effort to be backwards compatible with older versions of MacOS.

If you need functionality that are not provided by the programs, you can add them yourself -- the sources, mostly written in Objective C for the Cocoa framework, are free of GPL code and they can be used and modified for non-commercial use in any manner that you wish. Some Cocoa classes, such as a data pipeline and a serial port manager, can be found in the Software page.

The disk images that contain the application installers and the Xcode projects can be found in the Download pages of each application's web site.

Some of the applications are not present in the tab buttons above. Please scroll down this page to see a full list.
