General Info: PackRat is yet another GTD app for managing to-dos, notes, and reminders. What sets it apart? Access anywhere. PackRat is based entirely around syncing with Backpack. Backpack is a very well designed, web based solution for to-dos, notes, reminders, calendars, and more. PackRat promises to be a desktop, offline way of accessing Backpack.
How well does it work? The syncing works very well. Where PackRat stops working well is the interface. Dialogs to add or edit items are placed oddly and are annoyingly distatched from the main window. Where most Mac apps place the text currently being revised is in the same location of original text. Reordering items in a list is overly complicated; I could go on and on. What does PackRat add to Backpack? Few useful things beyond scripting; salient is access without an Internet connection. If you need to be able to use Backpack offline, then PackRat is your only choice. Otherwise, don’t even bother at this point. The web based version of Backpack is far superior, and cheaper.

Retail Price: $24.95

Today, MacRabbit released CSSEdit 2.5. CSSEdit is a great app for creating and editing CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) for web design. In the latest version, MacRabbit has added:

-Tabs. Yes, this one may not come as a surprise anymore. However, I am sure you will be quite surprised once you try them out. Pictures simply don’t do them justice.

-X-ray Inspector. This must absolutely be the most popular feature request of all time. Lo and behold, here it is: the X-ray inspector shows you what styles apply to the selected element in X-ray

-Selector Builder. Selector what? This is a brand new innovation that should make life much, much easier for anyone starting out with CSS (or teaching it). Define your selectors in plain English, and it generates the necessary code for you.

-Various improvements all over the application: a navigation bar in the Preview, a font picker, selector CodeSense, a text shadow editor, brand new shiny wonderful HUD inspectors, etc. Major changes everywhere!
