Recommended Mac/iPhone Apps
I thought it was about time I updated a post I wrote two years ago. Maybe you know some of these programs, maybe you don’t - I still heartily endorse everything listed below, and I use most of them every day for non-trivial purposes. All apps are free unless otherwise noted.
Mac
- Anxiety [lightweight to-do list]
- AppCleaner [uninstall any program]
- Celtx [write screenplays + plan pre-production]
- Dropbox [share files online]
- Fluid [make websites into apps - I use a Google Reader Fluid instance constantly]
- Jumpcut [clipboard history - immensely useful]
- Jumpman [game - platformer with a twist]
- OnyX [system maintenance and tweaks]
- Pixelmator [$59 - the poor man’s faster, lighter Photoshop]
- Quinn [game - Tetris with online play]
- Quicksilver [launcher + search bar + so much more]
- Shovebox [$24.95 - capture text, webpages
- SousChef [$30 - find recipes, share your own]
- The Unarchiver [unzip any file]
- Typinator [$25 - autocomplete on steroids]
- Wiretap Studio [$69 - record anything playing on your computer]
- World of Goo [$20 - award-winning physics game]
- Eliss [$1.99, addicting game with stunning design]
- Google Earth [little utility, large capacity to amaze others]
- Instapaper [Free/$4.99, store + read long-form web content on the go]
- Keynote Remote [$0.99, control presentations from your device]
- Passage [$0.99, the saddest game you will play on an iPod]
