WELCOME

Me​MyselfAndI
creates simple but useful macOS
applications for you

What really motivates me to spend nights stuck on the computer keyboard? Good question, I'm asking myself several times too!
Maybe just having some fun because creating something useful for others can really be a very good feeling. Sometimes just starting to create a quick solution for a missing functionality and apparently finding it growing into a complex application. Mostly just working on my "job".
The reason does not really matter, one thing is sure, I've always wanted to do that in my own way which means for me as error-proof, useful, and feature-rich as it can be.

I hope you will enjoy them as I had whilst creating them!

Useful Mac services (UMS)

UMS is a collection of handy macOS Services and an Application to manage, and configure services on your system. Services are contextual workflows available throughout macOS. They accept text or files from the current application or the Finder and appear in the Services menu. They can be used to shorten repetitive tasks f.e on files or folders.

The UMS app supports on-the-fly Service customization via configuration plugins, and also let you easily edit the icon and description of each installed service. Letting UMS run continuously will add the ability to get notified about any changes in your services folder or about available new or updated services.

Currently selectable service components

Symbolize services
Symbolize service menu items are simple service wrappers around symbolizelog, symbolizealllogs and add2symbolpath scripts (together with symbolizehelpers helper script) that can be used to symbolize macOS crash logs, hang, stall, or sample files.

Known issues, limitations

- There is no option (for a sandboxed app, the one that you are downloading from the Mac App Store) to control iTunes if it is showing a modal window (e.g. a notification about syncing with your phone is interrupted) as in such case commands to the iTunes application cannot be delivered, if you find that commands from Smart Tunes does not work please check the iTunes application state and respond/close those modal windows
- Because lack of a reliable, officially supported solution updating artwork images of tracks managed by a cloud-based service, like iTunes Match, modifying the artwork images is enabled only for locally stored iTunes track items!
