Joy Services is a completely free product given away by AAA+. It is only available for OS X Server.



Joy Services let you enhance your working environment. You can create new menu items on the Services menu of every application. (If you're upgrading from MacOS and haven't come across services--don't worry, you soon will!)

Joy Services comes with useful examples, ready for your use. For instance:

  • Copy Paths. Copies the full pathnames of the selected files to the clipboard.
  • Group in Folder. Tells Workspace (OS X Server's Finder) to create a new folder and move the selected files into that folder.
  • Open Matching. Prompts for a regular expression (e.g. *.gif), then asks Workspace to open any files in the current folder with a matching name.
  • Evaluate Expression. Interprets the selected text as a mathematical expression and replaces the selection with the result.
  • Capitalize. Capitalizes the text in the selection.
  • Trim Left. Removes all leading spaces, tabs, newlines, and carriage returns from the selection.
