AppCleaner Updated

AppCleaner website

I’m not sure when it happened, but AppCleaner, a great way to remove applications and their preference files with them, has been updated to version 2.0. This version is for OS X 10.6+.

From the AppCleaner website:

AppCleaner is a small application which allows you to thoroughly uninstall unwanted apps.
Installing an application distributes many files throughout your System using space of your Hard Drive unnecessarily.
AppCleaner finds all these small files and safely deletes them.

Simply drop an application onto the AppCleaner window. It will find for the related files and you can delete them by clicking the delete button.

I consider this a must-have app, so check it out!

Sunrise Browser Updated (2.1.0)

The Sunrise web browser was updated yesterday. If you haven’t heard about Sunrise before, it’s definitely worth checking out. It’s an easy-to-use Webkit-based browser with a good set of features. Plus, it’s less than 3MB! It takes no time to open, and it’s really easy on your computer’s resources.

This new version adds Google Suggest to the url/search bar and fixes a couple of bugs.

You can download Sunrise from the Sunrise homepage.

Sunrise doesn’t yet have a few features that other web browsers have (password saving, session reopening, private browsing), but it’s under steady development. Sunrise is off to a great start, and we’ll let you know when it gets updated and what new great features get implemented!

Happy web browsing,
