OnLife Hacks

I’ve started playing with OnLife, a cool application-usage tracker (and cache, and… just go read about it) for OS X. One thing OnLife supports is plugins for new applications in Objective-C or AppleScript.

I’ve created a couple “Scriptlets” (Applescript-based plugins) which I’ll link to from here.

• VoodooPad: Logs the title of the current page and the content of the page. It’s exhibiting some weird behavior where it logs the same file over and over, but if you’re interested, take a look (download version 0.3).

• Illustrator CS: Logs the title of the current document. But not yet. I think that there is a problem with how Adobe named the app — in the Dock it’s “Adobe Illustrator CS”, but to AppleScript it’s “Illustrator CS”. So I think that OnLife is having a hard time firguring out that the application is running.
