OmniDesk is a modular desktop utility manager. It performs a few minor functions on its own, but is mainly a front-end to a series of utilities, most of which are intended to be useful to programmers. The utilities can either be run from OmniDesk or as stand-alone applications. It is quite simple for programmers to turn existing applications into OmniDesk utilities, so the suite could easily be extended. The download available here includes the entire suite, the component applications of which are listed below.
 
OmniDesk was originally published by Acorn User magazine, and is now released as freeware by kind permission of Tau Press Ltd
