OS X – basic apps

I recently got a new Macbook Pro, which means I also moved to Snow Leopard (not that I couldn’t have stayed with Leopard).

I keep a Time Machine backup, and could have used it to move all my files to the new system. But since I had to many things installed which I don’t use anymore, I decided to move just my personal settings to the new system.

This constituted a great opportunity to list the applications I consider essential:

  • 1 Password
  • Adium
  • Flip4Mac
  • git
  • Growl
  • Handbrake
  • KisMAC
  • Freemind
  • MacPorts
  • NetNewsWire
  • Office 2008
  • Papers
  • Perian
  • Seashore
  • Skype
  • Telephone
  • VLC
  • VMWare Fusion
  • Wireshark
  • XCode

And had to leave GPGMail out (no snow leopard version currently available)

The question now is: What am I missing :) ?

    Dropbox seria nice mas já tenho MobileMe :)

    Marcopolo, já usei mas é daquelas coisas como o QuickSilver que não uso assim tantas vezes para justificar ter instalado…

    Da tua lista 2 já tive instalados, o outro desconhecia.

    Cyberduck – Sou um shell user inveterado, o scp faz tudo que lhe mando :)

    TextMate – Mais uma vez… não me consigo livrar do VIM :)

    WriteRoom – Pois.. nunca usei, mas prometo que vou espreitar ;)

    Curiously enough, I pretty much enjoy the default power management scheme of OSX.
    But it's a nice tool especially to those who like to hibernate :)
