Sending Yourself a Bill
I’ve been using Billings for about a year now. It’s a great OSX application for managing clients, projects, and invoices. It’s currently $40, and for the price, it has saved me enough time to be worth it. On the downside, I’ve found it to be less than intuitive on occasion, and I’ve [...]

I think that Adobe could have made this product a stand-alone product on its own platform, and still allowed it to be extensible (If you have not heard, you will be able to write extensions for Bolt with CFML, which is all kinds of awesome).
