Make Your Own Plug-in. The plug-in development kit has arrived.

Finally, a location manager for Mac OS X!
Location X brings the wildly popular Location Manager functionality from Mac OS 9 to Apple's latest and greatest operating system, Mac OS X. Location X allows you to, with a single click, change network, time zone, email settings and more all at once.

The perfect solution for PowerBook and iBook users
Macintosh portable users who travel between different locations often have to reconfigure their Macs for use at home, school, the office, the hotel, the east coast office, China (you get the picture). Configuring Location X to do this for you is easy using its intuitive and elegant Aqua interface. Now using your laptop in different places is a snap.

Extensible plug-in architecture
Location X was designed to allow third parties to develop plug-ins that will allow you to change even more settings than those provided in the Location X package. Location X includes built in plug-ins that let you change your network configuration, Apple Mail settings, time zone, Entourage settings, sound volume, default printer, QuickTime connection speed, Energy Saver settings, Internet preferences, and run AppleScripts and shell scripts. Check back frequently for new plug-ins!

What's New in Location X 2.5
Leopard Compatibility
Location X 2.5.4 is ready to leap on Leopard.

AutoLocate
We are excited to introduce AutoLocate - the ability to have Location X automatically determine where you are based on what AirPort network you are connected to. You provide Location X with a set of rules that describe which location to switch to when you join a specific AirPort network, and Location X will do the rest.

New Plug-ins
2.5 includes plug-ins for changing Security, Language, and Keyboard Layout prefs.

New Mail Plug-in
We've rewritten the Mail plug-in to be more robust and cause less problems. It includes a new UI for choosing SMTP settings and accounts to change.

And more.
Try it out today.
