DreamDiary is a fun little app that lets you type up your dreams in a simple text editor. From there, you can organize them by date and subject, and keep them archived for later viewing. It’s fun to look back and see what your dreams were about from a long time ago, and DreamDiary can help you with that. DreamDiary is a nice, no-frills app with just what you’d want in a diary. Very nice, and very entertaining once you get to using it.

iChm is the first nice CHM reader I’ve ever seen. It absolutely destroys the previously reviewed app, Chmox, in terms of ease of use and user interface beauty. It supports a lot of nice features like tabbed browsing, finding/searching, text zooming, and of course, a nice print feature. Overall this app is the first impressive CHM reader I’ve seen to date, and is definitely worth a try if you have any CHM files.

xPad is a nice little freeware gem that works a lot like SideNote, but is faster, and generally works better. Essentially you just keep all of your notes and such organized in this small, yet functional app. You can even categorize your notes. It’s essentially a full replacement for Stickies and TextEdit.

When it comes to widgets, it seems like most of them are useless little toys and such. But, developer iSlayer thinks otherwise. iSlayer has come out with several incredible widgets over time, but Organized may be his most impressive. Organized is an excellent organization widget that almost looks like something on the iPhone. It has a gorgeous calendar as the main view, with clickable dates. But, below that, there’s a small extension with tabs to choose what you want. You can view a number of Clocks, take or look at Notes, check what Events you have coming up, or add items to/read from your To Do list. Of course, every dimensions-based transformation is beautifully animated with a smooth slide or flip. This is one of the few widgets that I can recommend to anyone.
Rating: 5/5. Why aren’t other widgets this cool?

So, I just finished making my list of Windows apps (and Mac equivalents). It includes about 50 apps for Mac and Windows, which essentially offer the same features. The new, fancy HTML table is below! Note that these aren’t necessarily the best Mac apps, but they’re free equivalents to Windows apps.

Smultron is a simple, yet wonderful text editor for Mac. It has lots of little features built in, and a nice, bright interface to complement them. It’s become a standard in Mac text editing. It includes lots of useful things, like a built in syntax highlighter (to help you manually edit code), and a sidebar where you can navigate between files. Give it a try, you’ll like it.
