I'll play. 1. ByWord - fantastic, clean text editor with Markdown support. Really good for producing all manner of documents, opens Word docs, saves as PDFs. I use it in conjunction with Marked which shows a live preview of the document.
2. Rapidweaver. Great web design program for Macs with a vibrant, lively community of users and developers. 3. GarageBand - after using Logic I came back to this and Band In A Box for Mac which has some amazing sounds, instruments and soloists that will create songs for you - just type in the chords. 4. Pocket - may favourite read this web page later app 5. FileZilla - free FTP software 6. MiniPicker - grab the hex colour from any web page 7. Pixelmator - Adobe, Schmadobe... 8. Web Elements - web-ready graphics for a few quid. 9. MacPaw Gemini - find and remove duplicates 10. Picturesque - only does a few image editing chores (shadows, frames, reflections etc.) but does them brilliantly.
