Isolator is a small menu bar application that helps you concentrate. When you're working on a document, and don't want to be distracted, turn on Isolator. It will cover up your desktop and all the icons on it, as well as the windows of all your other applications, so you can concentrate on the task in hand.
Isolator is designed to stay out of your way, and so it isn't loaded with flashy features. However, it is customizable so you can get it to do exactly what you want. Options include:
* Hide the Dock when you activate Isolator (Leopard only)
* Customize the background window (including semi-transparency and blur)
* 'Hide' background windows, as well as covering them up (they're just covered up by default)
* Customize the shortcut key (normally shift-command-i)
* Disable the menubar icon
* Left-clicking the menubar icon can activate Isolator
* Automatically launch Isolator when you log in -
Sometimes you just don't want to take time going to your Applications folder or searching around your hard drive. Just click a quick hotkey (Command-Option-Control-T) and Todos will simply appear. Todos' job is simple. Todos doesn't do more than it says. Like its definition in Spanish, Todos will show you everything. Todos shows you all your applications in a complete dock. All of us have a plethora of programs, and the Apple dock just can't fit them all. Don't worry. Bring Todos up when you need to get to any of your apps. Click any application in Todos and it will instantly launch. Todos will fade away after application launch. Perhaps you don't want it go go away so fast? Just hold the command key and click. Todos will open the application and remain displayed. Don't forget to stand back and wow at all those cool icons for all of your applications. OS X has beautiful icons, why not see them more?

SunFlower monitors web pages for changes. It saves a snapshot of the page and then compares that snapshot to snapshots in the future. You are notified when snapshots are different and can quickly examine what changed.
You might want to know when a company posts an opportunity on their site. You might want to know when that super hip clothing company has some new threads. You might want to know when your favourite indie record label has a new release. You may be interested when an under the radar startup publishes a press release or a teaser page finally changes. These are just some examples where SunFlower is useful.

With LightZone there is no more tweaking of confusing histograms, no more guess-work; a single slider in LightZone can adjust any of the 16 exposure values in an image: individually, grouped or selectively
