There are a couple of things that are absolutely necessary for me to get the most out of my Mac. Without them I either fumble around or go out of my way to make up for the loss. Some are free, others I got as part of one of those software bundles tha occasionally come around. (Do they even have these in the Windows world?)
- Quicksilver – we don’t need no stink’n mouses.
- Omnigraffle – No Visio? No problem.
- Click to Flash – No Flash! Oh yeah.
- The Unarchiver – compressed files meet your match.
- AppShelf – program licensing, centralized.
- AppZapper – when the Trash Can isn’t enough.
- Carbon Copy Cloner – bootable backups, ‘nuf said.
Squeeze – more drive space–less fuss.
I’d like it if I could add Marco Polo and MacFusion to the list, but neither work under Snow Leopard (10.6). Which is a shame, because they’re really useful when they do work.
(Apparently Squeeze might need be removed from the list, since it seems to make my Mac less stable.)
Got any tools that I should add into to my arsenal??
I can’t get by without Scrivener, but then again, I do a lot of writing.
