MacGems
There are so many useful little gems in the mac world, some of them took me month to find. I won’t list basics like Adium, VLC, TextMate, Transmission or Tweetie, but the little rackers that make you smile using them!
- Caffeine – tiny button that keeps your mac from sleeping, perfect to read longer text (where display would be dimmed otherwise)
- DropBox – dead easy file sharing.
- Visor – Quake-Like always-there head terminal.
- DTerm – command line everywhere
- The Hit List – best todo app out there
- Snowtape – best streaming radio app
- Google Quick Search Box – even better than spotlight!
- AppFresh – for update junkeys like me
- HardwareGrowler – see whats happening in your mac
- TimeMachineEditor – don’t spin up the drives every fuckin’ hour!
- google gears for snow leopard. for god’s sake!
- iStat Menus – see cpu history, hard disk utilization and more
- Candelair – fix broken remote in snow leopard
- Perian – play all kinds of videos in quicktime
- SteerMouse – unless you have an magic mouse, you’ll need it!
- TextExpander. A classic. Does what the name says.
- XMarks. Sync bookmarks with safari, firefox and other pcs.
- MultiClutch. Get the most out of your multitouch panel!
- teleport – if you wanna share your mouse and keyboard on multiple macs.
And tools that make live easier on the terminal
