Here’s a new screensaver/to-do list we just released! The To Do List Screensaver is something we consider as being somewhere in between stickies and iCal. It’s a new and gentle way to see the list of things you need to do. Now, you taking care of those tasks is YOUR responsibility. We only thought this way would be much more mellow than dealing with loud bells and whistles that remind you of your tasks. The To Do List Screensaver appears on your screen, with tasks slowly moving left to right or a more orderly bottom to top) when it kicks in after a certain time (that you have designated in your System Preferences/Screensaver for your Mac). If you never want to see your to do list, you know what to do. That’s not the point, though, is it? If you want to see it immediately, click on a hot corner, and if you want to see your list on another computer or on your mobile phone later, have it send you an email! Last note: we plan to make it sync with iCal later. Try it, you might like it, and we hope you do!

Looking for an anime-inspired simulation game for mac? Try the new game, Spirited Heart.

The description:

Create your fantasy alter ego choosing between an ordinary human, a cute elf and a wicked demoness. Each character has different starting attributes that will greatly influence the game play. They also behave differently in the various dialogue choices you’ll encounter during the game. Once the game starts you’ll be able to run your life in a virtual fantasy world: choose a job from the 20 different choices, but carefully check the minimum requirements. Each starting job will improve some of your basic character skills, giving you the possibility to unlock more advanced jobs once you have trained your character long enough. From time to time, random events will occur and you’ll also have random encounters: there are six potential partners for your character in the game, two for each one of the three races. Each partner will have his own personality and will react differently depending on which race you’re playing, offering over 100 different dialogue combinations! Can you win their hearts and maybe, one day, marry one of them? Play with your character for 10 in-game years in which you have to do your best! The full game has 20 normal endings plus 6 special marriage endings, providing hours of gameplay and lots of replayability. Can you imagine all the different endings?
