FolderGlance gives you access to files and folders in the Finder directly from the Finder's context menu. Using FolderGlance, you can move and copy files, preview them using FolderGlance's Hover Previews, and execute custom scripts. With custom scripts, you can even customize the Finder's context menu using your own menu items and menu hierarchies. A menu extra also lets you search for files and folders from your menubar, enabling you to easily open and reveal files even when you are not working in the Finder. A license for FolderGlance is $20. A free trial which limits the number of sub-folders you can dig down into is available.

Universal Back Button keeps track of applications as they send URLs to each other, and offers you an easy way of going back to that application. For instance, opening a link in Mail will display that link in your browser. Hitting the Universal Back Button, located in your menubar, you are instantly taken back to Mail. Universal Back Button is free and open source. Please read this blog-post for information on how to get Universal Back Button working on Mac OS X 10.6.5 and later.
