Essential Mac Software - 2008 Edition
It's been a year since I have written an article, on the Mac software I consider as essential for my daily work. A lot of new software has been released in the last year and I have changed some of my workflows, thus it's time for an update.
The following list presents a choice of my favorite MAC applications (in alphabetical order):
- BibDesk
- Cocoabooklet
- CSSEdit
- Flip4Mac
- iStopMotion
- Macports
- MarsEdit
- NetNewsWire
- OmniFocus
- OmniGraffle
- OmniOutliner
- Perian
- Quicksilver
- Skype
- Skim
- SSH Keychain
- SuperDuper
- TextMate
- TubeTV
- Tunatic
- VLC Videoplayer
Plugins for Mail.app:
I don't longer use these applications, that were still on my list last year:
- Carbon Emacs I have completely moved to TextMate. Although Emacs was my beloved editor for more than 10 years, I did never long back for Emacs. In particular I fell in love with my new LaTeX workflow based on TextMate and BibDesk.
