Scannerz - For Finding Hard Drive, SSD, and System Problems
Problems with hard drives, SSDs, or their supporting system
components can frequently be the cause of many malfunctions and
performance problems. Scannerz is a set of software
tools designed to identify and help isolate these types of
problems. It's easy to use, but still remains the most advanced
commercially available tool of this type available for Mac OS X
systems. Why risk losing all your valuable data? If you suspect
your hard drive, SSD, or system may have problems, or you want
to be able to detect problems before they become serious, then Scannerz
is the product you want. The full version of Scannerz
also includes Performance Probe 2, Phoenix, and
FSE or FSE-Lite. Learn more>
ClearTime - The Ultimate Clock and Alarm Combination for Macs
Would you like a decent, configurable clock that can sit on

of other similar looking notifications and popups that make
something important too easy to miss? ClearTime for Mac OS X
was developed as a solution for all these problems. Interested?

Performance Probe 2 - To Help Isolate Performance Problems
Have you struggled with Activity Monitor when trying to
find out where all the memory or CPU power is being used by your

application is using in real time without needing to bring up a
near full screen application like Activity Monitor? Performance

problems easier by focusing only on the most active and resource
intensive applications used in the system. Learn more>
Phoenix - For Creating Boot Volumes and Doing Basic Cloning
with File Recovery
It happens to everyone - the system that was working fine one
day now won't boot. Be prepared with Phoenix. Phoenix
can perform basic volume cloning with an option to recover and
identify bad files on a drive. It can also create an emergency
boot volume of the full, core operating system by extracting
it from the drive without the need for install media or a
network connection. The newly created emergency
drive can be used to re-install the OS, run tests on a system,
or make any repairs needed to your system. Learn more>
FSE, for Isolating Malware, Intruders, and Bad Apps
Misbehaving applications, malware, and intruders leave their
"fingerprints" on the file system. We offer FSE,
the advanced file system events monitor to help you find the
culprit. FSE is a user configurable file system
events monitor intended for advanced users, system
administrators, security personnel, and software developers. FSE
allows a user to not only monitor all file system events, but
can also target specific file system events such as system or
application crashes, security problems, the causes of excessive
file I/O, track and trace the source of malware, and a host of
other tasks. Learn more>

be inexplicable reasons? Do applications slow down to a crawl or
web access seems excessively slow at times? Odds are pretty good

and Time Machine are just doing their resource
intensive mds indexing. SpotOff 2 with Spot-O-Meter 2
is an mds indexing controller and monitoring system for Mac OS
X. SpotOff 2 can turn indexing on and off at
will, and Spot-O-Meter can tell you when the
