Since everyone else is going ahead and proposing their own apps, I would also
like to recommend 'firestarter' ;)

It is a very nifty app that provides a very simple/quick method to set-up and

release soon).

I don't think Achtung can be included since the author says he can't get a
(stable?) release out by then....
