Apps Bar - Active App Tracker Review

I have so many apps on my Mac that it is ridiculous. I only use about a quarter of them at any given time, but I still like keeping it all there, just in case. The problem is that it makes it a little confusing when I want to reopen one quickly. I hate sorting through the chaos to find what I want, and a lot of app icons look the same.

Gemini: The Duplicate Photo Finder for Mac

I am an avid (if amateur) photographer. As I travel a great deal, I end up taking hundreds of photos per trip. Obviously, I always intend to go through these and only find the best, deleting the rest. But I never seem to get around to it, and end up reuploading and saving mass amounts of photos over and over again, from one device to another. Which leads to a fair number of duplicates over time.

Loadables - Free Mac App Review

Wondering what might be running on start up, log in or launch that might not immediately be apparent? How about what is on standby but not fully launching, still taking up resources without your knowledge? When you have a Mac, it can be harder to see what apps are sucking up those resources and maybe effecting the overall performance of your computer.

Memory Clean: Free Mac Application Review

I play a lot of games on my Mac, and I think it is the best laptop I have ever had for doing so. The graphics are great, the gameplay is smooth, the controls are consistent...it is just a great platform for shooters in particular. The only complaint I have is after the gameplay, or after watching movies for that matter.

Degrees - Weather App for Mac Review

I tend to go to Google for the current temperature and weather forecast. I prefer to know how to dress before I select my outfit, and the last thing I want to do is slip out in my pajamas to find out for myself. Plus, I don't own a television, so there is no way I could flip on the morning news to find out there. Sure, it isn't a huge problem, but having an app to see the temperature is certainly convenient.

Note: Don't forget to check our previously featured weather apps:

• Best Weather-Tracker: Review (Windows)
• MenuWeather Mac App, the Ultimate Weather Solution
• InstaWeather Pro: Weather App Review for iPhone
• YoWindow: Fun Real Time Weather App
• World Weather for iPod & iPhone Overview and Review

While there are a couple of good mobile apps for it, I prefer this desktop app from Mac Update. Degrees puts a small, simple temperature icon on your menu bar. It will automatically detect your coordinates to give you the most accurate reading possible. Or, you can manually enter a location to find out the temperature there.
