TechTool Pro helps recover, repair, and optimize your hard disk.

TechTool Pro 4 now features a suite of S.M.A.R.T tests (Self Monitoring Analysis And Reporting Technology).

Most modern hard drives now support this industry standard that employs predictive diagnostics and analysis to help foresee a drive failure BEFORE it happens. TechTool Pro 4s SMART test allows you to automatically monitor this vital data and be forewarned of impending danger to your data, allowing you to back up critical information before disaster strikes.

The eDrive feature allows you to create an invisible emergency volume from your existing drive. This new partition is created WITHOUT the need to reformat your current drive and allows you to store a copy of your system, a copy of TechTool Pro and even allows you to make room for other utilities.

If you ever have trouble with your main drive, simply restart your computer and your system will start from your Emergency Drive giving you immediate access to the utilities youll need to resurrect your main drive. Now theres no more need for a bootable CD or ancillary hard drive for system drive repair or maintenance.

With the power of Mac OS X, TechTool Pro 4 is now the fastest version of the program weve ever made. With Mac OS Xs native multitasking capability, TechTool Pro 4 can now run its full battery of tests simultaneously. This means that repair and maintenance chores that once took minutes will only take seconds.

TechTool Pro 4 now offers a new optimization feature for your Mac OS X drive. The Mac OS X system contains thousands of files that fragment quickly. TechTool Pro 4 lets you quickly and safely unfragment these and other files so your system runs reliably at its peak.

Car Companion is a small utility written in Java to help keep track of your vehicles maintenance schedule. It allows you to keep track of multiple vehicles and lets you select and create maintenance items for your vehicle and the intervals at which they should occur. It also generates two reports for users. A vehicle sticker to keep in your car that tells you when maintenance needs to be performed, and a Service Report which shows a complete service history for the vehicle.
Car Companion is a Java based application that I began working on in July 2003. I wanted a tool to help me keep track of the maintenance that I do on my Jeep. I could not find anything out there that fit my needs, so I decided to write my own. This little program allows me to keep track of all my maintenance and print out reports and a sticker to keep in my glove box, so that I know when I need to perform the next oil change, replace the air filter, change the brakes, etc.
It is a free open source application. All of the source is available in a separate jar file that you can download. You can check out my project page at sourceforge.
I chose Java so that it could be run on any operating system: Mac, Unix, Linux, or Windows. The data is stored in a xml file so that it can be easily transferred to any database or xml supported program.
Enhancements:
- Fixed the cost conversion bug. It now sorts the services entered by date, so the newest always shows last.

MacJanitor is designed to be used on a periodic basis by Mac OS X users who dont leave their computer on (and awake) 24 hours a day. MacJanitor is provided as freeware as a service to laptop and energy-conscious home users.
MacJanitor provides a way to run system maintenance tasks at the click of a button.
The Unix subsystems on Mac OS X were originally written for machines that were typically never shut off. Mac OS X inherits this assumption in version 1.x, and has many system maintenance tasks that are scheduled to run between 3 am and 5 am. In addition, there are scripts designed to run weekly on weekends, and once a month in the middle of the night.
If these maintenance tasks are never run (such as on a laptop that is always shut off at night), many log files and system database will grow extremely large or fail to get backed up.
Laptop users could click the daily button every morning (or every few days), or office workers could click the weekly button on Mondays.
If youve been leaving your machine off at night without allowing the maintenance tasks to run for several weeks or more, the first time you run them using MacJanitor may take several minutes. Also, if your log files have grown extremely large and you are low on disk space, the tasks may have problems moving the files around and compressing them. After that, it typically takes less than a minute for each task.
The output of the task is displayed in the scrolling view in the bottom part of the window. If for some reason you feel the need, you may print the output of the system maintenance tasks (but why?...).
Enhancements:
- Built for Panther and higher (Tiger compatible).
- Uses the periodic tool instead of running the tasks directly.

UpdateWasher is useful in a way that after an OS X update, simply double click on UpdateWasher, where ever it may be, and it will run OS Xs built in maintenance scripts, repair permissions essential to keeping your Mac bloat-free and then reboots your system to make sure everything is in ship-shape.
Best of all, UpdateWasher requires no user input at all! Just click OK, and wait for the application.
And if you have Growl installed, Automator will notify you when the operation is done, if you dont, you will be displayed a regular dialog box, so theres nothing else to install!
Enhancements:
- Fixed launch problem that many users had been experiencing.
