TOKYO (MacHouse) – I’ve been mostly upgrading old software titles this month. Now, I’ve run out of applications to upgrade. Ouch… Well… Actually, I’ve submitted a totally brand-new application to Mac App Store about an hour ago. This new software submission is called Grabbo.

What does Grabbo do? Before I answer that question, let me ask you this question, first. Do you ever wish that you could restore the position and the size of an application window? That’d be quite difficult to achieve if the application is sandboxed. And that’s Grabbo’s main feature. Grabbo lets you save the properties of a window you select. And you can apply saved properties to the topmost window owned by the same application. Additionally, you can save a screenshot of the window you select to your disk with or without a shadow around it.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (MacHouse) – And again… Here comes another software upgrade. A new software title that I submitted to Mac App Store several hours ago is called Straighten.

Straighten is an upgraded version of an existing software title called goHorizontal and has been developed from a scratch. Straighten lets you correct the overall balance of a picture by rotating it, yet holding on to the same number of pixels. Use two markers in a way such that the line between the end of one marker to the end of the other would be straight.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (MacHouse) – Oops, again… Here comes another software upgrade. A new software title that I submitted to Mac App Store half an hour ago is called MakeCheckerboard 2.

MakeCheckerboard 2 is a desktop application that lets you create an image of a 2-color checkerboard. A new feature that has been added to this upgrade lets you also create an image of 2-color stripes. Another change allows the user to fully undo/redo changes in picking a color or setting a value.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (MacHouse) – If I run out of software development ideas, what I usually do is… Hmm… Well… I just get on the Internet and look around till a light bulb turns on. That’s what happened a few days ago. As a result, I submitted a new software title to Mac App Store a few hours ago. This new software release is called Distoria.

Distoria is a desktop application that gives you 5 tools to distort a picture. Click anywhere over the picture to use the selected graphic filter. You can apply the same graphic filter to the picture repeatedly or use a combination of these tools to distort the picture. The application supports the full stack of Undo & Redo changes. So if you want to cancel the last effect, just press Command + Z.   Continue reading →
