Free assist software for mac

Wake Assist solves a wake-from-sleep problem on some Macs.

Wake Assist automatically clicks the mouse a few seconds after waking from sleep. The mouse click is enough to nudge a stuck Mac to wake up fully.
The mouse click will only happen if the Mac is not being used — we made sure Wake Assist stays out of your way.

Wake Assist is a small Mac OS X daemon; it sits quietly in the background until your Mac wakes from sleep.
1. A few seconds after your Mac wakes up Wake Assist checks for user activity.
2. If no activity has taken place since waking up, Wake Assist performs a couple of mouse clicks.
3. Finally Wake Assist returns to waiting silently for the next wake from sleep.

Requirements:
iTunes 2.0.4 or later.

Enhancements:
Version 2.0 consolidates the previous versions six scripts into a single script

Fantasy Baseball Widget is a nice utility created to assist the fantasy baseball team owner with tracking how their players are doing as well as keeping track of players the owner wishes to watch.

The widget allows you to track twenty hitters and twenty pitchers. It will show you how the player did the day before, how they are doing in the current week and for the entire year. By combining these stats with the full set of stats on insanelycrazy.com you can have a distinct advantage over the other owners in your league.

The InsanelyCrazy Fantasy Stats Widget was designed to be easy to use. To add a player, type in all or part of the players first and last name, select the group you wish to add the player too and click the search button. When the widget returns the list of players that match the search critera click on the players name and the player will be added to the group. Each group can contain a maximum of ten players.

To delete a player simply click on the trash can by the players name and the player will be deleted

Yazi is a very useful dictionary created to assist users in their study and understanding of different Asian languages. It has both a browse-able dictionary, and a lookup window where characters can dynamically be looked up using OS X services.
Yazi is still undergoing a lot of development, hence the pre 1.0 version number. Comments and suggestions are welcome! Yazi will only support 10.3 and above of OS X, because the UI elements used for searching in the dictionary are only supported by 10.3 and above.
We are still in the process of adding help files for all of Yazis features from within the application. For the time being, see the Quick Start guide for help on getting up and running with Yazi.
