A friend of mine was asking me what software I am using on my Mac as he is looking to switch from Windows as well, so here is my list:
- 1Password – Password management app
- Adium – Trillian like IM client
- AppZapper – Coming from Windows I was used to having to use a program to uninstall things
- Blogo – Best blog editor I have found so far
- ChronoSync – Keep files/folders in sync across computers
- Dropbox – Sync folders across computers/platforms
- Evernote – Sync notes across platforms (Mac/Windows/iPhone)
- Hex Fiend – Hex editor
- Isolator – Allows me to “dim” all screens but the one I am working in, helps for concentration
- Jungle Disk – Backing up data to Amazon S3 service
- Little Snitch – Control incoming/outgoing network connections
- OmniFocus – GTD app
- OmniGraffle – Visio alternative for OSX
- OmniOutliner – Note taking
- Skim – PDF viewer that lets you take notes within PDF
- TextMate – Textpad/Ultraedit type text editor
- Transmit – FTP/sFTP client
- VMware Fusion
- Yep – PDF manager, like iPhoto for PDF files
