Freeverse introduces "Think" for Mac OS X
Rethinks How to Get Things Done
New York, NY—February 6th, 2007—Freeverse today announced the first official release of Think, a new way of working with your Mac when you just need to focus. Think is a cleverly streamlined application to shift your workflow from overwhelming to under-control with just the flick of a mouse.
Think allows users to “illuminate” any Mac OS X application they'd like, blocking distractions from other windows and applications, so that they can focus on the task at hand. Since many work projects require multiple applications, Think also allows guest applications to be temporarily brought forward, and when no longer needed, quickly hides them away.
"Mac users have always been inclined towards being more productive," said Freeverse developer Michael Watson. "Think lets you put all the distractions in the background and just work."
"Think carries on the Freeverse tradition of top-notch OS X software—it's slick, clean, and efficient," added Freeverse President Ian Lynch Smith. "we're happy to make it available, for free, to the entire Mac community"
Think is available as a free Universal Binary for Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later.
More information on Think, as well as links to download the application, may be found at:
