What apps are essential for mac?
papa: Lots of excellent pointers from others...I'll add a few I haven't seen posted:- InstantShot: nice little screenshot utility (I use it daily)- VueScan: swiss-army knife of mac scanning apps if you need to hook up a scanner. Costs a little, but you get lifetime upgrades. Well worth it.- LittleSnitch: network monitor. tracks what kind of network activity your apps are up to. Costs a little, but also worth it if you value your privacy.- JollysFastVNC: fast and free VNC client (I've been using it over Chicken of the VNC).- OmniDiskSweeper: Disk utility shows you which files are hogging up the most hard disk space. Free. I also recommend many of Omni's other products. Omnigraffle (not free) is also excellent for diagramming.Also, not mac specific, but the sqlite manager plugin for Firefox is also very helpful.I don't know where others go to find different Mac apps, I usually hit macupdate.com (and sometimes versiontracker) these days, mostly out of habit, but would love to hear other recs for this.
