Hi,
I've developed another mac alternative client. Instead of opening the site in the browser, you instead get a dedicated nxt client window. See the screenshot below:
--
Version 0.22 is now available with 0.6.1 preinstalled and updates fine to 0.7.0e.
Available at http://nxtra.org/mac
Sha256 for the zip file is also included on the page.
Donations are appreciated. My Nxt id is:
8189784314684138350 Thanks!
PS: Right click the application, then choose "open" if you get a security warning, this is normal - because the application is not yet signed.
PS2: Make sure any other java server is not running any more before starting this app.

Older changes:
v0.20: New option to view changelog associated with your installed version.
v0.19 is now available. Only change is using the official coin logo as the app icon.
0.18:
1) Ability to check for updates for beta releases. (0.4.9e)
2) Auto-updates now check the sha256 and won't continue if it does not match what is said in the blockchain.
NxtMac 0.16 now available - this includes the Nxt client 0.4.8
Other new features:
- Added an icon
- New option in Tools menu to edit your well known peers setting.
New version 0.4.6 can't be gotten via auto-update because the developer's dropbox has too much traffic and has been disabled.
It includes the blockchain in the file already because someone found and exploited a bug and we need to reset from that point on.
Beta 13 changes:
Changes:
- It no longer contains a partial blockchain in the binary.
- "Redownload blockchain" command (under Tools) allows you to restart the blockchain from scratch, good if you ever get stuck on a fork again.
- Uses 0.4.4 by default.
It may well take a little while longer on first start of the app since it needs to download the entire blockchain, but after that you should be good to go :-)

beta 10 adds hallmark generation from within the client (check the "tools" menu).
It will generate it, and then add it to your web.xml file automatically (if you want to). It will also preserve the hallmark across updates.
New version has auto-update support, whenever a new version of the nxt client comes out you will be notified and asked to update. The app checks for a new version on start, and also once a day if you keep it running forever.
Btw, you will now get a "loading blocks" message on first start. This ensures that blocks.nxt and other files are created and you do not see zero balances. This is only on first load of the app and if you haven't started the app in a week or more.
