If you're wondering about nice small utilities, many of which are free, rest are cheap: iStat Menus for extra status info in the status bar Bartender for moving extra menubar items into a submenubar FuzzyClock for having 'fuzzy' time in the menubar (like 'almost ten' or 'quarter after ten'). Nice for having time without having time down to the minute or second. SuperDuper! for cloning drives and making backups. TimeTracker for keeping track of work project time. Bwana for easier reading of man pages in a browswer. VLC for videos. Find Any File for finding files quickly Quicksilver as a launcher, maker of files, quick calculator Aquamacs as a great text editor (well... it's emacs, but behaves mostly like a Mac app) TextWrangler for searching through arbitrary files for text snippets. iTerm 2 as a smarter substitute for Terminal Skim for reading and marking up PDFs Sports Fan Widget for checking sports scores TexLive for a LaTeX installation BibDesk for keeping track of references and as a free-form database More-expensive software for other work, all of which are paid: Quicken 2007 for finances (good enough for my stuff; can't imagine migrating 23 years of records to another application) Tower for easy version-control via git OmniOutliner for creating training materials (together with a bunch of scripts and some other statistics tools) OmniFocus for a massive list of todos and projects and other work-related things (couldn't live without it) Stata for statistical stuff (disclaimer: I work for the makers of Stata, but I got entranced by Stata 15 years before working there) Bill
