Useful Mac Apps

Posted Wednesday, 13 January 2010 by Andreas Zecher

If you’re working on a Mac, there are a ton of useful and affordable applications out there. Here’s a list of tools that I use regularly. How does your list of favorite apps look like?

Dropbox. A super-fast file sharing app that feels like it’s part of the Finder.
Little Snapper. Helpful for taking and organizing screenshots of your projects.
Quicksilver. The fastest way to start up an application or find a phone number without touching the mouse.
Screenflick. Simple screen capture app that we use to record trailers of our games.
Sequel Pro. A tidy graphical gui to admin your local and remote MySQL databases.
TextMate. The best text editor around. Lightweight and extendable.
Things. Simple, but powerful task management that syncs with it’s iPhone companion app.
Timepost. Unobtrusive time-tracking that syncs with Basecamp or Harvest.
Times. Beautifully designed RSS reader that feels much more like reading a newspaper instead of emptying your inbox.
Transmit. FTP-workhorse. Allows to edit remote files directly.
Versions. Well designed Subversion client. Makes things like tagging and renaming folders much easier.
Wallet. Stores all those user accounts, passwords, credit cards numbers and licence keys for you.
