TOKYO (MacHouse) – It’s been quite a while since I submitted the last Mac application to Mac App Store. Maybe, half a year or so… Well, I want to upgrade an existing desktop application called TextCandy so badly so that I can use it while I’m at work. So here comes the second installment of TextCandy, which I submitted to Mac App Store half an hour ago.

TextCandy 2 is a status menu application that gives you quick access to a few lines (or more) of text. If you write programming code and want to get quick access to several lines of code, you will find TextCandy 2 quite useful. If you have friends to keep in close touch with, get quick access to their phone numbers and e-mail addresses with TextCandy 2. It’s easy to use. Just explore application’s status menu and select the title of a text record. And TextCandy 2 will automatically copy the corresponding lines of text into the system clipboard for you. By the way, TextCandy 2 is developed 100% in Swift.  






What’s new?

1. The user can now create tens or even hundreds of text groups. The sky is limitless. So is the number of groups that you can create with TextCandy 2.
2. There are more than 170 icons to choose from in characterizing a new text group.
3. Make a backup of the entire dataset so that you can recover it with a different computer running TextCandy 2.
4. Save a text record as a file so that you can recover it with a different computer running TextCandy 2.
5. Switching groups can’t be any easier now. Just click on a group icon, which is now a push button.
6. The application comes with a built-in user’s guide with graphics called Quick Tour.
