Top Free Mac Apps

July 3rd, 2008

I have just re-installed my MacBook. Most of the following apps are free and a “must have” for all mac users:

Firefox 3 – Since I used Firefox for years under Windows, it is not easy to switch to Safari due to lack of addons.

Thunderbird – I have not even tried “mail” under MacOS, since i want my mails get directly imported from Windows to MacOS.

Smultron – really nice text editor, it’s free! You may also try TextMate(Shareware) or textwrangler(free).

Adium and Skype are the best for chatting. iChat is good, but who use it?

Quicksilver – app laucher, the first app I start

Cyberduck – free (s)ftp client under MacOS

CoverSultra – shareware, a must have to control itunes, album cover is displayed on desktop, dock, menubar etc.

LiteIcon – feel free to change system icons

Seashore – since imagewell becomes shareware, here is an alternative for quick graphic editing

Miro and VCL player for playing any video format. Miro can even automatically download youtube videoclips!

Squirrel – Personal finance application. Currently only 6.99 EUR! It will cost 25 EUR after version 1.0

AppCleaner – freeware for deleting apps, nice!
