The PFiddle Collection Useful and pfun Macintosh software The PFiddle Collection is a growing collection of useful and pfun Macintosh software. Buy the collection once for $4.95 US, and enjoy any and all applications in the collection, now and in the future, without additional charge. The PFiddle Collection may be purchased for $4.95 US. PFiddles Pointer Noodge Applidude Waccy Accy Pointer Noodge Supports OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion The third PFiddle in the PFiddlesoft Collection is Pointer Noodge. Pointer Noodge slows down the system pointer, removing mouse, trackpad and trackball acceleration so you can place the pointer exactly where you want it in any application. You can also nudge the pointer one pixel at a time horizontally and vertically using the arrow keys. Other features include rotating images to help you find the pointer on the screen, a border and highlighting to identify the window, drawer or sheet under the pointer, a text box and optional speech providing the pointer's coordinates and information about the application under the pointer, and a spotlight effect for presentations. Pointer Noodge makes it easier for everybody to use the computer, including users with impaired vision or motor control issues. Pointer Noodge version 1.1.5 was released in June 2012. It is signed using our Developer ID for increased security using Gatekeeper under OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. (This version of Pointer Noodge supports Mountain Lion, but it does not yet support resolution independence, or HiDPI mode, for retina Macs.) Watch this video of Pointer Noodge in action. It shows you everything you need to know to use Pointer Noodge. You can also view screenshots.

Applidude Supports OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion The first PFiddle in the PFiddlesoft Collection is Applidude. Applidude floats over your screen and reminds you which application is currently active. This is invaluable information—not only if you have a short attention span, but also if you have the ability to concentrate all too well. If you often overlook the name of the active application at the left end of the menu bar, you will find it harder to miss Applidude's large display of the active application's icon and Applidude's optional voice announcement every time you switch applications. Applidude is great for users with impaired vision, and for all of us who sometimes forget where we are. Applidude version 1.1.3 was released in June 2012. It is signed using our Developer ID for increased security using Gatekeeper under OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Watch this video of Applidude in action. It shows you everything you need to know to use Applidude. You can also view screenshots. To read Applidude's instructions, go to the Applidude Features page or open Applidude Help in Applidude's Help menu. Note: This video requires a browser that supports HTML5 video elements, such as Apple's Safari. It is a QuickTime H.264 movie. Waccy Accy Supports OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion The second PFiddle in the PFiddlesoft Collection is Waccy Accy. Waccy Accy is a game based on Apple's Accessibility and Event Taps APIs that is pfun for all users, including those with impaired vision. The more you play Waccy Accy, the more familiar you will become with where things are on your desktop. To win Waccy Accy, reveal your full user name by flipping the placards displaying placeholders so they show their hidden characters. You are playing against the clock, and your best time will be recorded for posterity. You can't type your name on the keyboard. Instead, move the mouse over text elements on the screen. The first matching character in the title of any eligible UI element counts. Don't waste time clicking it, though. As soon as you mouse over it, the corresponding placard flips to display that character. There are lots of catches that make this harder than it sounds, but there are also lots of cheats to balance the scales. Waccy Accy version 1.1.3 was released in June 2012. It is signed using our Developer ID for increased security using Gatekeeper under OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Watch this video of Waccy Accy in action. It only hints at how hectic game play can be. You can also view screenshots. To read Waccy Accy's instructions, go to the Waccy Accy Features page, open the Waccy Accy Help book in Waccy Accy's Help menu, or simply click the Instructions button on the game board.
