Softchaos announces June release date for WorkStrip X

London, 14 May 2002 WorkStrip X, by Softchaos, will be available for download on 24 June 2002

WorkStrip X is an intelligent, system wide productivity-enhancement tool for professional and intensive Mac users. Situated on the desktop, WorkStrip is an advanced alternative to the Dock, providing a host of intuitive features. Through “workspaces”, WorkStrip simplifies and speeds organisation of the work process.

Building on the success of acclaimed previous versions, WorkStrip X introduces a fresh Aqua interface and native operation in the new Mac OS X environment.

New Features for OS X
Improved and Simplified Workspace Management

  • Navigation of folders within any application, simplifying access to their content
  • Pop up windows allowing easy access to and maintenance of workspace items, including folders and files
  • The ability to tag folders and files on WorkStrip

Established Features

  • Easy Access to Recent Items as WorkStrip Tracks Individual Work Patterns - Workstrip automatically tracks opened files, folders and applications allowing quick access from the recent items options
  • Project Management Tools – create project workspaces and arrange files, folders and Internet sites into meaningful groups. When a workspace is active, recent items are recorded in that workspace. As you change workspaces, all associated items in each workspace are restored ready for use
