It’s friday, so it is the perfect moment to release another update to Quiet Read. The new release is localized into French, and works better with Opera.

Quiet Read 1.1 is available. The release notes are very short:

Quiet Read is available in:

1. German.
2. Italian.
3. Japanese.
4. Korean.
5. Spanish.

Please contact us if you want to translate Quiet Read into your language.

I would like to localize Quiet Read at least into French, German, Italian and Spanish. Spanish is not a problem, being spanish myself, but if any of you has some free time to translate about a dozen of text strings into you language (given that your language is French, German, Italian, or even if it is any other), please email support@bambooapps.com

Thanks in advance!

“Quiet Read” is my new freeware application that lets you save any link for later. Here is the download link.

Sometimes, when I am browsing the web, I want to store a link for later. There are note taking applications and everything-buckets to do that, but I wanted something light and simple. Simple as dragging a link onto a menu bar item to store it.

Here is what you’ll get once you launch Quiet Read:

To review your link, click the menu bar icon:

And to quit, right click for the menu:

If you want Quiet Read to launch at boot up, go to System Preferences, Accounts, then Login Items and add it to the list.

Quiet Read is completely free. It needs Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)

If you are reading this through the rss feed, you might not have noticed, but we have just deployed a completely new bambooapps.com

The website content has been rewritten, rearranged, and the whole site has been redesigned to be simpler, lighter, and cleaner.

We hope you like it!

Yesterday, we released another update to Keep Your Word. The release of Snow Leopard made us release an unscheduled update a couple of weeks ago, so this new update brings only a couple of new features, and a complete (and much needed) refactoring of another one.

First, we added iChat Theater support. You can read about this in our new Support Centre, but the following image probably will be worth more than 1000 words:

Also new in Keep Your Word 1.7 is posting to Twitter. Just in case you want to tweet the word of the day, for instance.

But the most important new feature, the most time-cosuming to implement, and the most needed is the rewritten import from CSV.

Open Keep Your Word, let it update itself, and let us know what you think of the new features in our new Support Centre.

We have released an update to Keep Your Word, that assures full Snow Leopard compatibility.

You can download it from this link, or just open keep Your Word and let it update itself.

And, please, let us know if you find any issue that went under our radar.

On Monday, the bambooapps crew will jump onto a train that will take us from Hong Kong to Beijing for a week of urban enjoyment and leisure, that will include visits to landmarks like the Great Wall of China, the Summer Palace, and a few selected bars.

We will not be able to check our email, but we will answer all our messages as soon as we come back to our headquarters on August 16th.

It’s that time of the year again.

To celebrate the first birthday of Keep Your Word, and to help you get ready for the new academic year, you can get 50% off the application price using the coupon code HAPPYANNIVERSARY when purchasing Keep Your Word on August 7 and 8.

Keep Your Word 1.6, the new update to our vocabulary and flash cards trainer, is available. You can read the release notes here, but, in short, it adds a new exercise mode, a new study mode, and some much needed usability and compatibility improvements.

You can download a 30 days fully functional trial version from the product page.
