Permanent_Eraser_Logo

Permanent Eraser… When you normally delete your files in Mac OS X, the operating system is only forgetting where those particular files are placed, while the data still physically remains on the drive. Beginning with Mac OS 10.3, Apple enhanced its security by introducing the Secure Empty Trash feature, which follows the U.S. DoD pattern of overwriting data seven times.

Permanent Eraser provides an even stronger level of security by implementing the Gutmann Method. This utility overwrites your data thirty-five times, scrambles the original file name, and truncates the file size to nothing before Permanent Eraser finally unlinks it from the system. Once your data has been erased, it can no longer be read through traditional means.  

Permanent Eraser is free of charge, and the source code is also provided for educational purposes.

 

  • Implements the Gutmann Method via srm to remove files
  • Erases the files in your Trash
  • Erases CD-RWs and DVD-RWs
  • Erases files dropped on the application icon
  • Provides a warning dialog before files are erased (Press the Option key to bypass this warning).
  • Universal Binary
  • Localized for English, German, French, Dutch, Swedish, and Traditional Chinese
  • Source code is available
  • It’s free!

Sidenote tries to catch the “Stickies” spirit but in the form of a multi-document drawer that will hide in the corner of your screen (left or right). You can use it to take all your daily notes, include images and easily modify text color and font. Sidenote will automatically expand so that you will be able to drag into it any picture, text clipping or pdf file from the finder or your favorite application. Sporting notes auto-saving, you’ll never have to save your notes. Sidenote will handle that for you. You can also print them or export them to rtf.

Nuptial_Logo

Nuptial

Nuptial is an extremely simple-to-use GUI for psnup. It creates 4-upped postscript and PDF files from a given postscript file, with customizable magnifications and XY offsets for each of the four individual pages appearing together — this is especially convenient when there are differing margins on odd and even pages. Nuptial helps make documents with large margins easier to read in the 4-upped version, by allowing you to zoom to the bounding box.

DashOffOn

DashOffOn… Twin automator applications to turn the Dashboard off and on.

Dashboard is, in fact, part of the Dock application and Apple’s Dashboard.app (in Applications folder) merely shows the Dashboard as opposed to launching or quitting it. Your open widgets still work when they are hidden and utilise memory/CPU. If your Mac is running slow you may wish to temporarily turn Dashboard off in order to free up space, so double click on the TurnOffWidgets application.

Don’t worry, I’ve included a turn Dashboard back on application too. Double click on TurnOnWidgets.app and you’ll find that Dashboard is back as usual and the widgets you had open on the Dashboard are exactly as they were before.
