pearLabelizer V0.6.9b

english

  pearLabelizer is a little utility that makes it a breeze to print addresses or other text onto specific labels of a label sheet. It's pretty straight forward to use, and hey, it even supports drag & drop directly from MacOS X's Address Book/Contacts. Of course you can configure your own label sheets or print addresses for whole groups defined in Address Book/Contacts too. Now with support for macOS Catalina.

Besides drag & drop of text or addresses you can also use a global text view to enter an address, format it and print it on multiple labels. You can select indiviual labels by (command)-click or click & drag to select multiple labels at once.

pearLabelizer also provides a Service-function if you copy it into your Applications-Folder. This allows you to simply select the address in your text editor, choose the pearLabelizer-Service from the Services-Menu and finally all you have to do is select the label on which you would like to print the address.

pearLabelizer V0.6.9b requires macOS 10.10 or higher.
For MacOS X 10.4 to 10.9, download version 0.6.3.
If you still use version MacOS X 10.2 please give version 0.4 a try.

pearDict V0.3.3

  pearDict is a little tool that helps to conveniently access online dictionaries. Best of all: it's fully integrated into your workflow. Simply select a word in any Cocoa based application, choose the 'Look Up on Web Dictionary' entry from the Services menu and pearDict will find the word for you. Or how about that - simply move the cursor over a word and press a keyboard shortcut - pearDict will magically look up the word online. The same also works for current selections or text-cursor placements - of course with customizable keyboard shortcuts. This even works for none-service aware applications.
Of course you can also manually look up words by entering them directly into pearDict's search field. If the information provided by pearDict is not good enough, you are only a mouse click away from the fully-featured dictionary web page.

pearDict is provided for free in the hopes that it makes communication between people of different cultures and languages easier.

V0.3.3 requires MacOS X 10.12 or higher.
For older versions download V0.3.2

While I can not answer to all of them, you can be sure I read every one of them. Unfortunately, currently I don't have a working version I could send out to friends.

See what happened...
