This list is not a top 10 apps I prefer, but a reminder that whenever I am going to reinstall my OS X drive (due soon, again because bootcamp needs an unpartitioned drive to function):
- QuickSilver (productivity enhancing application launcher)
- SuperDuper (backup utility)
- OmniGraffle (best diagram drawing tool I know)
- ToDos (not a todo-list manager, provides an overview of all OS X apps installed)
- Growl (notification utility)
- adium (multi protocol chat client)
- skype
- colloquy (provides access to ##wicket @irc.freenode.net)
- textmate (a decent text editor)
- svn client
- xcode (provides cvs commandline functionality, web objects, etc. editor for Java seems obsolete with Eclipse)
- iBackup (backup utility)
- iWork’06 (keynote and pages)
- iAlertU (alarm for those moments you have to leave your notebook alone)
- pzizz (get those refreshing naps)
- SSH Agent (no more password reminders)
- transmit (FTP client)
- YourKit (the best Java profiler
- sidenote (stickies but then to the side of your screen)
- scrivener (screenplay, notes taker, etc)
Note that I don’t use all programs at a regular basis. For instance, I don’t use, haven’t used scrivener much, though I do like the idea and think I wouldn’t mind using it.
What do you like about YourKit? I have been using JProfiler, so I’m curious.
Good idea. Wonder why you didn’t just run System Profiler tho? Would have made a much more complete/useful list for rebuild at a later date…
