Full size or thumbnails, EXIF support, histograms, side-by-side comparison, sorting folders, direct camera import, bulk renaming... and did we mention it's fast? [more...]
Eyeballs 3.5: Eyes that keep you company
(No payment links – Eyeballs is freeware)

The apps below this point have not been updated in quite a long time, and may not run on recent versions of OS X.
Sorry! I've been working on getting a B.S. and then a Ph.D., which has kept me busy. On the bright side, I'm now done with my Ph.D., which is why some apps are now getting updated.
Trisection 1.2: A Tetris-style Mac game
Trisection is a game for Mac OS X that was inspired by Tetris. You have to rotate and position the falling triangles to try to make areas that are all one color. It takes more thought than Tetris, and it has more variety. Tetris will make your hands hurt; Trisection will make your brain hurt. It includes lots of sound effects and background photographs.
