Useful Fruit is a company dedicated to creating useful, well-made software for Mac users. Computers should enhance our lives, and the software running them should make impossible tasks possible and difficult tasks easier. Too much software today causes its users frustration. Useful Fruit is dedicated to making software that improves the life of its users and works the way it should. Does that mean my software is bug free? No, but it means I'll try my best to fix any problems you have as quickly as possible.Useful Fruit is owned and operated by me, Chad Sellers. I founded Useful Fruit in January of 2008. My first product, Pear Note, was released in September of 2008. This product is designed to help users take and understand notes - something I've struggled with throughout my life. I'm very happy with this product, as it embodies the values of this company very well (or at least I think so; you'll have to judge for yourself).Why Mac? I've spent most of my life in the software industry doing system-level security-related things on Linux (and a bit of Solaris). After OS X came out with BSD underpinnings, I decided to give a Mac a try. I was tired of the lack of desktop application availability and poor usability of Linux. So, I bought an iBook G3 and fell in love. Don't get me wrong, I still use Linux for servers, and it's definitely running the site you're reading this on, but I don't want anything sitting on my lap except a Mac.
