After using OS X for a few weeks now I am learning what the best software out there is for it.
Below is some of the good free software for OS X:
- Adium
- tweetdeck
- jdownloader
- skype
- keepass
- filezilla
- flock
- gedit
- kekaosx
- picasa (set where you want it to scan)
- snagit
- vlc
- utorrent
- http://www.macports.org/install.php
- cyberduck
- jellyfissh
- VIM, a great text editor.
- DarwinPortswikipedia
- Geany
Paid Software:
- Adobe CS4 Master Collection
- Camtasia
- Microsoft Office 2008
- RealVNC Enterprise
Some other random but I found useful information:
I have a few more that I use on a daily basis that you might be interested in:
– I’ve had quite a lot of issues with MacPorts before (particularly compilation issues). I’ve since switched to Homebrew (http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew). Admittedly, it has a lot less packages than MacPorts has, but it’s easier to install and maintain in my opinion. I can be a bit biased, since it’s built with Ruby 😉
– For developing, I use TextMate (http://macromates.com/). It’s not free, but it’s a pretty powerful text editor.
– I see you have KeePass there. Have you used 1Password (http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password) before? It’s also a paid app, but it’s the best password manager I’ve ever used.
If I think up of any others that you might find useful, I’ll let you know.
I feel I should say, I really enjoy this site. Could let me know how I can subscribing with it? I feel I should let you know I discovered your site through Yahoo.
Amazing Dude, I didn’t knew that, much appreciated.
I just updated my list a bit!
Thank you!
