My Mac Software List

Seems like there are a few “must have” Mac software lists out there so why not make my own?

Here’s what I find useful beyond the usual iLife and Office apps.

Ecto. Excellent blogging tool to author all these posts. Get a short time 20% discount until December 26.
Firefox. Although Safari is still my browser of choice, Firefox has more compatibility with Blogger and other web sites.
NetNewsWire Lite. Solid RSS news aggregator and reader to keep up with all the news from around the Web.
ImageWell. The free and lean image editor.
Roxio Toast Titanium 7. Apple’s CD burning is pretty basic. That’s where Toast comes in.
.Mac Backup. As part of subscribing to .Mac services, you get full access to this useful backup utility.
Gmail Notifier. The quick way to check Gmail.
iPodRip. Easily move music to and from iPods. All legal of course.
Quicksilver. Hard to explain but the best time saving app around.
Acqlite. Search the Gnutella peer-to-peer network. Old school but still useful.
Azureus. A Java-based BitTorrent client. Great for catching missed television shows.
