Must have Mac Software

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
