Simon

The essential site monitoring tool for Mac OS X, and Dejal's flagship product. It checks servers for changes or failures, and notifies you via email, sound, speech, or other means. You can use it to track updated sites, and to alert you when an important server goes down or recovers. It can be used to monitor your own website and servers, track posts and new comments on your or friends' blogs, check for web mail, get notifications of updates to favorite news and entertainment websites, keep an eye on auctions, communicate with arbitrary servers, and many other uses.

Time Out

A utility to gently remind you to take a break on a regular basis. It has two kinds of breaks: a "Normal" break, typically for 10 minutes after 50 minutes of work, so you can move about and relax, plus a "Micro" break: a very brief pause of typically 10 seconds every 10 minutes, so you can remember not to tense up too much for long periods. The breaks are fully configurable.

Note: Time Out is currently freeware, so you can download and use it at no cost. I'm currently working on version 2, which will be shareware, and will have lots more options. A free Lite edition is also planned.

Caboodle

Everyone comes across information that they want to refer to later. Maybe gifts you've received or sent, product serial numbers, recipes, directions to someone's house, a photo of your pet, or anything else. Dejal Caboodle is a tool to help store and organize such varied bits of information, with a unique organization where any entry can contain other entries, which inherit their parent's attributes.

Narrator

Narrator was our first product for Mac OS X. It utilizes speech synthesis to read out the contents of a text document, using different voices for different parts. You have a range of "actors" that can portray any number of "characters", so various passages of your document are spoken with differing voices, pitches, inflections, etc. You can have it read out a play or story with appropriate voices. The words are highlighted on-screen, and there are also a couple of silent read-along options for stage directions, or for you to read out your own parts.

BlogAssist

A handy tool to help weblog and website editing by making HTML markup easier. It includes a system menu that uses text on the clipboard, a Services menu command that displays a small panel to choose the operation to perform on selected text, and display a preview (via WebKit), and a similar floating window that can be left open. Any one or a combination of those can be used to make HTML markup easier.

Macfilink

An affiliate link cloaker. It creates a web page for you to upload to your own site, so that your customers see a page on your site, with your URL, instead of the affiliate URL - but they still see the merchant's site. They never see your affiliate link, so they can't remove your affiliate ID or change it to their own. It uses WebKit to display the original page and a preview of the cloaked page.
