Heikos Little Helpers
About
Heiko's Little Helpers are a bunch of AppleScripts I wrote to do frequently needed jobs for me...
Originally I programmed an application named Sake to do that, but it became more complex than I anticipated...that's why I decided to discontinue Sake and switch to FastScripts.
What?
There are some things I often to by hand - this really bothered me. Therefore I sought a way to do this more efficiently.
