After 7 months, I am by no means a Mac professional, but I have found some applications that have really made a huge impact on the way that I work. Check out my top 5, and feel free to add your own.
| 1. Writeroom
| "Distraction Free Writing" at its best. There are many imitators, but none of them do it as well as Writeroom does. And at only $24.95, its well worth the price. Best Features: Great "lights down" effect, low price, highly customizable Worst Features: Haven't found any. Get it here: Writeroom |
| 2. Coda
| "Text editor + file transfer + svn + CSS + Terminal + Books + More = Whoah. Welcome to Coda. Grow beautiful code." Their description pretty much nails it down. Coda is quite possibly the best web development program that I have used. Maybe even better than Dreamweaver.And at a fraction of the cost($99). Simple, yet powerful, Coda is a must have. Best features: Great Live Preview feature, Powerful plugins. Worst features: Price Find it here: Coda |
| 3. Eventbox
| With the popularity of social networks Facebook and Twitter, as well as Google reader and the social bookmarking services, you often find yourself bogged down in a number of open web tabs and desktop apps for twitter and your Google feeds. Eventbox solves that. All of your info is in one place. $20 ($15 while its still in beta) is a meager price to pay for this excellent program Find it here: Eventbox |
| 4. Coconut Battery
| Coconut Battery does one thing. And it does it very well. It monitors the charge, load cycles and battery life. A definite must for all Macbook owners. Find it here: Coconut Battery |
| 5. Lumina
| Need to track your time on a task? Working on a project? Maybe you just want to know how long you've been on the computer. Regardless of the reason, Lumina will help you keep track of it. Its easy to use and very compact. Another must have, especially for those needing to clock time on projects. Find it here: Lumina |
So that's my list.... Whats yours?
