Our Utilities
Making your computing life a little easier...
While our main focus here at SchartWorks Software is on fun and games that isn't all we do. Mostly, but not all. "Utilities" is a broad category and if you abandon just a bit of reason then almost all software could be considered a utility but we all know what utilities are - they let you do something with or to your computer that you either couldn't do before or, if you could do it, it was difficult and/or time consuming. We've got several utilities that have become an indispensable part of our day-to-day computing. Here are a few:
Obviously, these are but a few of the many excellent utilities available for Mac OS X but they are some of our favorites. As mentioned, we don't plan to focus on utilities by any stretch of the imagination but we've made a few other and have a few more ideas on the back-burner - so to speak. So if you've got a need to add/change creator and/or type codes in OS X you may want to check out DropCT and if you need to know how many unread messages you have right in your own menu bar you should check out The Unread, and keep an eye out for more in the future.

Available Utilities:
The Unread:
The Unread is a simple yet highly customizable menu bar addition that displays the number of unread messages you have in Mail without switching to Mail or looking at its Doxk icon. Unlike Mail's Dock icon, however, The Unread monitors any mailbox (or all mailboxes) for unread messages - not just In!

DropCT:
DropCT helps you deal with a holdover from the OS 9 days that can occasionally put a damper on your OS X experience: Creator codes and Type codes. Drag-and-drop a file or a group of files and enter (or select from a user-defined list) a code or codes then simply click 'Change' to apply the code(s). Simple. Fast. Easy.
