Blasted Keeps Your Recent Stuff Close At Hand

Blasted puts recent stuff in the Menu Bar

Now this looks interesting: Blasted is a Menu Bar app that quietly tracks what you’ve been working on – all the files you’ve created, opened, or modified recently – and makes them available when you need them via an unobtrusive icon.

It’s the work of Ted Roden, who also created the awesome Enjoys Things site.

Of course you could create somewhat similar functionality by creating a Smart Folder of recently modified items and putting it on your Dock, or even hack it into a Stack, but neither of those would seem to offer the neat simplicity of Blasted.

The only drawback is that, right now, there’s no way to try Blasted before paying your money; perhaps not a big deal when we’re only talking about five dollars, but still let’s hope a trial version appears soon.
