Cult of Mac Favorite: MobileStacks Is the Best Reason To Jailbreak. Period.

I really like Stacks on my Mac. Stacks makes it fast and easy to find files, folders and apps right from the Dock. It makes managing a Mac pretty slick with all sorts of little UI tricks. That’s why I recently gave MobileStack a go on my jailbroken iPhone.
I must say that it lives up to the [...]

    These are really beautiful… I just wish I could get the clocks to work. It looks like the downloads are supposed to be packages with a .wcz extension, but instead they are folders and the app won’t recognize them. :(

    His russian, not italian. :P

    Thanks for mentioning my clocks! If you downloaded WCZ files in last 8 hours and they are not working – this was a problem with my new web server. I updated it, and WCZ files are working again. Please delete files you downloaded and visit http://www.vladstudio.com to download them again. Sorry for inconvenience!
