Omni Group's free software
Omni Group have now made some of their products free downloads. These include: OmniWeb 5.9, OmniDazzle 1.1, and OmniDiskSweeper 1.7. It also appears that OmniObjectMeter 2.6 and OmniDictionary 2.0.4 are free too, although I'm not sure if they were previously free anyway.

I've been a licensed user of OmniWeb (although I rarely use the browser other than for testing) since... well, since forever. I got the update notification when I launched it this morning, and saw it was free now!
Reminded me of the times when they used to try and sell Netscape Navigator... :P2009 Mac mini 2.0GHz • 2010 MacBook Air 11" • 2010 MacBook Pro 13" • LED 24" Cinema Display

The best thing about this news is certainly that OmniDiskSweeper is free now. It's forever been the best tool around for finding big files you didn't know you even had lying around, and now you can delete them directly from within that app. (That was the main paid feature before.)

I think OmniObjectMeter used to be hundreds of dollars.

I got WhatSize as part of a bundle and have been very happy with my (relatively little) usage of it so far. Out of interest, how do you feel WhatSize and OmniDiskSweeper compare?

What Size has too many inefficient features. I like simplicity.
