Cassandra is a small 1997 Macintosh utility by Andrew E. Zeldis (Zedley Medley Ventures) that displays random quotations in a tiny, unobtrusive window. It runs as a faceless background application, surfacing a fortune at a glance and quitting cleanly when its window is closed.
What It Does
Cassandra picks a random entry from text files placed in its Fortunes folder and shows it in a compact floating window. Users who like a particular quote can drag it out of the window to capture it elsewhere.
Fortune Files
The app reads plain-text fortune files in either standard Unix fortune format or the Bongo Bob format, making it easy to drop in existing collections from other platforms.
Design Philosophy
Cassandra is deliberately minimal: no sounds, no dialog boxes, no menu bar clutter. The goal is a near-zero footprint utility that adds a touch of serendipity to the desktop without interrupting workflow.
Compatibility
Targets 68k Macintoshes running System 7.1 or later.
