OS X Releases Of The Day: Alfred Powerpack, Swatch 2.0

Alfred, the new kid on the block of “applications to search on your Mac” Cody reviewed back in March, can now be extended with a £12 ($18) “Powerpack” that allows you to quickly navigate your Mac’s filesystem and perform actions with files and folders.

The first Powerpack also includes support for an iTunes Mini Player, but the developers are promising way more feature in the next iterations of the addon such as Clipboard integration, Applescript and Address Book integration. Alfred Powerpack is available at £12 here.

Swatch (missed our Fuel Collective week?) is a must-have tool for any designer, and the long-awaited 2.0 version was released earlier today. The new version sports a brand-new UI design (I love it) and comes with many new features such as the possibility to create and manage collections, support for ACO, ASE and CLR files, customizable cursors and possibility to switch from the standard Color Wheel to CMYK, RGB or HSB sliders.

Swatch 2.0 is available at $9.95 here.
