Hot on the heels of our RapidWeaver 4.3 Release Candidate this morning, we're thrilled to announce LittleSnapper 1.5.1 is now out! Featuring full Snow Leopard compatibility, as well as a few bug-fixes this update is recommended for all customers - regardless of whether you plan to run LittleSnapper on Snow Leopard.

Something new for LittleSnapper 1.1
With LittleSnapper 1.1 slowly approaching release, we're finally happy to start talking a little more about what's in the release. Last week, we shared the details of the all-new Tag Management features that will be in the release. Today, we're unveiling another aspect of the release: no name for now, just a shiny new logo to pique your interest.
We're incredibly busy with the release and working feverishly to get it into users' hands very, very soon - so stay tuned for more in the not-too-distant future!
LittleSnapper 1.0.3 Available Now
We’re thrilled to announce that LittleSnapper 1.0.3 is now available. This small maintenance release has plenty of fixes to make LittleSnapper even better including full drag-and-drop support for snaps and the ability to copy snaps out via the Edit menu.
This update also features an improved snapping engine that handles websites with absolute-positioned elements (such as the footers on the MacHeist site) correctly when using the ‘Snap from Current Browser’ option.
The update is available via LittleSnapper’s built-in ‘Check for Updates’ option as well as from our Downloads page.
Happy Snapping!
LittleSnapper for iPhone
We're pleased to announce that LittleSnapper for iPhone is finally available. You can buy it at the App Store for just $2.99 (USD).
You can learn more about LittleSnapper for iPhone over at the micro site we published earlier this week.
Happy Snapping!
RapidWeaver 4.2.2 is now available!
We're super-excited to announce that RapidWeaver 4.2.2 is now available! There's a lot of improvements and fixes in this version, however the biggest change in this release is support for JS-KIT blog comments. We've also rewritten the output from the Contact Form plugin. You can now send multiple files via the form, receive emails from forms using HTML, and there's significantly improved form security built-in too.
The RapidWeaver 4.2.2 update is available from the Downloads page or you can also use the built-in "Check for Updates" option on the main RapidWeaver menu. If you want to see an full list of changes for this release, head over to the Version History
On behalf of all of us at Realmac HQ, I'd like to thank our beta testers who've helped us test the release - and our users for their patience as we ship this important update!
A little announcment
For the last few months we've been working on a new 'little' app for the iPhone and today we're really excited to be able to finally announce it… Say hello to LittleSnapper Touch!
LittleSnapper Touch will allow you to snap photos and selected parts of webpages and post them to our popular online image hosting service QuickSnapper.
Unfortunately the app's not available just yet, as we're busy putting the finishing touches to it, however once we've had a short period of beta testing you'll be available to grab a copy on the App Store.
Pending Apple's approval, we aim to have the finished product out in early April.
Two Snappy Updates
I'm pleased to announce the release of LittleSnapper 1.0.2. This new version adds a handful of new features and enhancements including, image resizing and automatic URL copying after upload. Take a look at the release notes for the full list of changes.
To get the new version you can run the auto-updater inside LittleSnapper or just grab a fresh copy from our downloads page. Oh, and that's not all…
QuickSnapper also received a small update today. We've added "Favourites", so when you find an image you like you can now add it to your favourites list. Go give it a try!
Happy Snapping!

First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported us during 2008, it's really appreciated and we feel very fortunate to have such a dedicated user base and community. You guys seriously rock!
Now let's take a brief look at what we have in the pipeline for the start of 2009…

Next on the agenda, Software updates. Towards the end of January we'll be shouting "Prepare the Build!" as we get ready to release LittleSnapper 1.0.2 and RapidWeaver 4.2.2
Psst. We do have a "little" app for a certain mobile device in the works too ;-)
That will take us up to around February. Beyond that I can't give anymore details, but rest assured we have some great updates planned and some absolutely amazing projects in the pipeline…
Stay tuned, I have a feeling 2009 is going to be a great year!

Read MoreLittleSnapper is out!
We're super-excited to announce that LittleSnapper has hit 1.0, and is now available to download and buy! It's been an incredibly busy few months since we announced the product, and we've been utterly thrilled at the response to the launch.
If you've not already downloaded a free demo copy of LittleSnapper (requires Mac OS X Leopard) then head on over to the Downloads page. The demo has just one limit: a maximum of 30 snaps in your library until you register - there's no time limits. If you want to create a larger library, you can pick up a copy from the Realmac Software store for just $39 including a free QuickSnapper account!
We'd like to thank all our fantastic beta-testers who took the early builds for a spin and gave us feedback: we can't wait to bring you more updates to LittleSnapper (and of course RapidWeaver) in the future!
Read MoreRapidWeaver 4.2.1 is available!
Late last month we released RapidWeaver 4.2.1 that fixes a number of small issues - including a bug which prevented RapidWeaver 4.2.0 from checking for updates. Whilst this means that RapidWeaver will be able to check for updates in the future, it does unfortunately mean that users of version 4.2.0 will not be notified of any updates.
To make sure everyone knows about the new version, we're posting today to let you know that 4.2.1 is indeed available! If you want to know what's changed be sure to check out the release notes, and to grab the update simply visit our Downloads page and install RapidWeaver into your Applications folder.
Happy Weaving!
Read MoreApple Store Presentation Roundup
As some of you may have heard, Dan, Ben, Danny and I headed up to Apple's flagship Regent Street retail store for our evening demo of RapidWeaver and LittleSnapper. Thanks to everyone who stopped by for the demo: it was great to see so many people show up!
During the 40-minute presentation we built a website in under 15 minutes using RapidWeaver 4.2.1, answered a number of questions about RapidWeaver, and also gave our very first public demonstration of LittleSnapper by snapping a website, tagging and rating the snap, and then quickly sharing it to the QuickSnapper service. We also revealed one small new tidbit that LittleSnapper will be launching some time in early December. We know you are all eager to hear more about the launch of LittleSnapper, so stay tuned for more news soon. We'll be announcing details such as pricing when the application ships.
If you missed yesterday's presentation, don't worry: we're going to be back in the Apple Store a little more often in 2009, so hopefully you'll be able to come and say hello at a future demo. We know that some folks will be interested in seeing the slides from yesterday's presentation, so we've made them available for download in PDF format, should you want to take a look.
On behalf of everyone at Realmac, thanks again to all those who made it to the store for the presentation, asked us questions, and stopped by for a chat: we'll see you all back in the theatre at Regent Street soon!

Read MoreLittleSnapper in action: Sharing
If you're eagerly waiting to see LittleSnapper in action, your wait is over! As you may have guessed from our teaser page, we've built some powerful (yet incredibly easy-to-use) sharing options into LittleSnapper. Today, we're going to give you a brief video tour of LittleSnapper to show just how easy it is to snap and share a webpage using Flickr.
We'll be taking the wraps off some more LittleSnapper features in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for that soon! In the meantime, why not visit our special area in the Realmac Software forums to talk about LittleSnapper?
If you want to share this video, we've also uploaded it to Viddler, where you can grab the code to embed it in your own blog and leave visual comments.
Read MoreSay Hello to LittleSnapper
Today is a very special day for all of us here at Realmac, as we're finally able to talk publicly about the little 'something' that we're previewing at Apple Expo Paris: our all-new application LittleSnapper.
What is LittleSnapper?
LittleSnapper is a tool to help users take, organize and annotate screenshots.
LittleSnapper takes screenshots of your desktop, full webpages and specific page elements (just like Safari's WebClip feature). Each snap is then added to LittleSnapper's Library, where you can organize them by date, star-ratings, comments or tags.
We've built-in some rather lovely (but very powerful) annotation tools, perfect for giving feedback on designs or scribbling over your snaps. Sharing your screenshots will be super easy, but we’re not quite ready to share all the details just yet!
Who is LittleSnapper aimed at?
LittleSnapper is aimed at designers, developers, user interface gurus or anyone wishing to organise a library of screenshots. For example, you might be a web designer tracking the latest trends or simply looking to keep a portfolio of your work. If you’re a UI designer you could be looking to build a library of inspirational interfaces for future reference. You could even use LittleSnapper to quickly scribble on your snaps and provide feedback to clients and users. However we like to think uses for LittleSnapper are endless and can't wait to have it ready for release.
When can I get my hands on it?
At the moment LittleSnapper is still in development. However, we hope to start beta testing shortly and plan to have version 1.0 out later this year. Until then, check out the LittleSnapper homepage where you can sign up for our VIP list. Over the next couple of months we'll be sharing a few more tidbits about LittleSnapper to those who signup, you'll also receive an early adopters discount and be able to download LittleSnapper 48 hours before everyone else!
We're incredibly excited about LittleSnapper here at Realmac HQ, and can't wait to share more with you shortly. Stay tuned!
Read MoreWe're heading to Paris
Bonjour tout le monde! It's just one week until Apple Expo Paris - Europe's largest Apple-related trade show. Whilst we're not having a booth of our own this year (as we have in previous years), all of the team from Realmac HQ will be paying the show a flying visit on the 17th & 18th September to preview a small, yet exciting new product.
We're looking forward to sharing more news on this all-new application very soon - particularly as it's aimed at a slightly different market than we've previously developed for. If you're a member of the press covering the show, and wish to meet up for a demo, simply drop us a note and we'll be in touch!
Be sure to keep an eye out for the Realmac team who will be wandering the show floor with some all-new Realmac schwag, so be sure to snap some up! We'll be posting more information on the announcement here on the company blog after the Expo, so stay tuned!
