OSX software I use

June 30, 2006 on 6:58 am | In Mac OS X, OS X Software |

I just finished updating my Powerbook to OSX 10.4.7, and I decided to make a list of the applications that I can’t live without when using OSX:

Mail.appetizer: Plugin for Mail.app that shows a transparent pane with the details of incoming messages.

Electric Sheep: Awesome screensaver.

Widescreen Plugin for Mail.app: As much as I dislike Outlook’s three-panel view, I have to accept that I enjoy using this recently released plugin on my widescreen Powerbook. Com to think of it, maybe if I didn’t have a 1024×768 screen at work I wouldn’t depise the Outlook layout as much.

Unison / Macpar / Split & Concat: A MUST if you use newsgroups.

Transmit / Cyberduck: Best FTP applications out there. Can’t beat the price on Cyberduck ($0!!).

Viena: I’ve already blogged about this. This is probably the best RSS reader on the Mac. It has an “iTunes-like” UI that I really like.

Azureus: No comments…

Deerpark: For those pages that Safari doesn’t like (demonoid, I’m looking at your Javascript…), it doesn’t get better than Deerpark.

This list will probably grow as I realize applications that I take for granted but use every day. I’ll update it with a new post at a later date.
