My Favorite Mac Apps (So Far)
After switching to a Mac a while back ago I’ve spent a lot of time searching for new apps to use to see what’s so special about a Mac. I’ve found a lot of really cool apps in the past and some that I just didn’t care for. Here’s a short list of my recent favorites.
Adium — A multi-protocol chat client. I use it to chat on AIM, MSN, and even Facebook. Supports all type of different
TweetDeck — This app isn’t Mac specific but I still added it to the list. It’s just a simple Twitter client that uses columns to seperate tweets. You can even set up custom coloumns that search for specific things.
iStat Menus — Display different information on your menu bar. You can display network traffic, temperature, hard drive activity and all sorts of other info.
MultiClutch — Adds extra features for those who have glass trackpads on their MacBook. I used it to set a three finger swipe to the left as going backwards in Firefox.
Growl — Shows notifications in a neat and clean manner.
Fruux — Sync Safari bookmarks and contacts across Macs.
QuickSilver — Task launcher.
CoconutBattery – Check the status of your battery. You can see your battery health, how many cycles you’ve used and current battery charge with the maximum battery charge.
BBedit — Single window, multiple file, code editor.
BowTie — Displays album art work, song title, rating, and other information about the current song playing in iTunes neatly on your desktop. You can create your own themes using simple HTML and CSS.
Fetch — Just simple , straight out, FTP.
Silk — Change system fonts.
Connect360 — Connect your Mac to your 360 so you can watch videos, view pictures and listen to your music.
