Top of my list of recommendations (and don't think its been mentioned
yet) is Evernote and its free. If you need a great 'back up to the
Cloud' service, we use BackBlaze. Unlimited space for $40 a year. An
finally an old one, but still valid for us is Himmelbar. It provides a
drop-down menu of all applications installed. Basically a more
manageable (and considerably smaller!!) version of Launchpad.

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.

Subject: [sussex_mug] Re: Well It has arrived ..Mew MacBook Pro
Always love sharing apps, nice to see what others are using and
several I've not seen before but now need to try!
From me:
Alfred - supercharged Spotlight that I am anticipating Apple buying
(remember Konfabulator before Dashboard anyone?)! It is absolutely
wonderful and the PowerPack is a must.
Koku - simple but helpful financial software to just keep a simple log
of things with tagging - hopefully with direct support to UK bank
statement download on the way.
1Password - I don't think Mavericks iCloud Keychain will match it.
It's an essential for me for password management and online security.
Bean - no longer supported but a brilliant little .rtf text editor
with great features, lovely interface and inview word count for ease -
I write a lot of talks (church leader) and this app is a must.
Things - quite pricey but it's simple interface and iCloud integration
with the iOS app means I'm yet to find a better app for applying the
GTD process into my working week.
DaisyDisk - helpful for system scans to see where any housekeeping
needs to happen with large files clogging up pipes!
DragonDrop - lovely little background app where you don't have to
click and drag files to folders anymore. Just click, wiggle and then
navigate to the folder and it'll bung files in there!
Dropbox - Guess you know this - but I find it invaluable and just
manageable with 2.25GB for essential files to be available wherever I am!
Enjoy!
