A Dozen Free Mac OSX Applications I Couldn’t Live Without -part 7


Growl



Today I am going to describe an application that isn't very useful, but as we all know knowledge is power...

The sole purpose of this little application is to keep you informed about the status of certain applications and/or hardware.




It posts messages on your desktop so you don’t have to switch between active programs.

Growl offers a lot of control on how the messages are displayed and also about the content of these messages. 




Growl comes as a preference pane and can be shown in the menu bar as an option.

Applications who (can) make use of Growl are amongst others: Mail, Safari, Toast, Cyberduck and many others.
