Pseudo

Pseudo is a drag-and-drop application that allows you to launch other applications in the OSX Desktop as the System Administrator or 'root'.

To use: drop an application icon onto the Pseudo icon, or into the Drop Target window of an already running copy of Pseudo.

You will be asked for your password, and the program will be launched with their administrative privileges.

Recently 'Pseudo-ed' applications can be launched from the 'Open Recent' menu.

Pseudo also provides it's functionality through a service in the Services menu of other applications, and through an optional system-wide menu.

New in 1.2: You can now optionally store your password in your keychain so you don't need to enter it every time.

In addition, you can create a 'Launch document' that will launch a program when double clicked in the Finder. Just drop a program into a Launch document window to set the launch path. You can optionally set it to quit Pseudo after it launches the program. This provides a very convenient way to launch commonly used programs as root.

Registration

Pseudo is a shareware product.
The cost is $15 per machine.

I'm of the opinion that people will either pay shareware fees, or they won't.
You may use Pseudo without registering it until you feel that it is worth $15 to you.

If you like Pseudo, you should pay the shareware fee to help ensure future development of the product.

Please visit my order page to register Pseudo.
