Cocoa Fortune is a Cocoa wrapper for the infamous UNIX command fortune. Fortune was/is a small utility that can display an interesting, funny or obscene message. Many UNIX people run it as part of their login sequence so that they each morning are presented with a thought-worthy maxim to consider during the day.
Unfortunately, Apple has chosen to leave fortune out of the standard Mac OS X installation. That is why I chose to make this Cocoa wrapper for the command, so that other people than command-line freaks and programmers can enjoy the interesting comments of fortune. I also added a few goodies, such as automatic refresh of the quote, and a user-friendly way to select the range of messages displayed.
Cocoa Fortune is freeware, so you may use it as much as you want without paying for it. However, if you feel particularly nice today, you can donate some money to me to encourage future development of Cocoa Fortune. Visit the Donations page for more information. Thanks!
We also chose to share the source code of the Cocoa wrapper with anyone who wants to have it. Just send an email, and we'll provide you with both the original source of fortune and the Project Builder project of Cocoa Fortune.
