TOKYO (MacHouse) – We have good news and bad news. Bad news is that a huge typhoon is headed to the direction of our neighborhood. Good news is that we submitted the 3rd software title of the month to Mac App Store about an hour ago. This new software title is called fileAbouts.

fileAbouts is a desktop application that lets you keep track of files and folders. If you want to keep track of a file, we know that we can add it to the sidebar except that it can go away if it comes from a remote volume. fileAbouts won’t lose any of files or folders even if they come from a remote volume that is not currently mounted. Besides, you can create as many fields (the field to fileAbouts is the playlist to iTunes) as necessary, which makes it easy for users to organize files and folders that they frequently access.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (MacHouse) – So my 2-year old 3.1 GHz iMac broke last week, which didn’t stop me from introducing to the Mac community Buttons123 as I now have a new iMac. In fact, MacHouse is ready to introduce you another Mac software title. We submitted Logos123 to Mac App Store about 8 hours go. Furthermore, released at the same time is Logos123 Lite is the freeware version of the former.

Logos123 is a Mac desktop application that lets you create 2D logos quickly and easily. The initial release is equipped with 64 shaders. These shaders convert styled text into a beautiful 2D logo. Some fonts don’t work quite right when you design a logo. So what you can do is add important fonts to the favorite font list so that you can access them easily. After finishing designing a logo, you can save one as JPEG, PNG or TIFF image. You don’t have to worry about losing logo properties after quitting the application. You can save logo properties as a project file. So you can reconstruct your logo by just double-clicking on a project file.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (MacHouse) – What a nightmare week! The main iMac computer we’ve been using is broken. He just had his 2nd birthday some 10 days ago. So we’ve been forced to buy a new one. The repair cost for the broken one is about US$450, Apple, Inc. says. Additionally, we’ve been trying to submit a new application to Mac App Store. Yet, iTunes Connect has been having network problems half a day long. Anyway, the first software title of the month we have is called Buttons123.

Buttons123 is a Mac desktop application that lets you create web button images with rounded corners in a matter of probably not a few seconds like 1-2-3 but maybe in several seconds. You can cast shadow inside and outside of the button. You can of course insert a text title (only one title) to the button with the font and text color of your selection. More interestingly, you can save button properties. So select a button to load in the scroll view window at the bottom and click on the Load tool button to reconstruct a web button.   Continue reading →
