“I personally love free software, especially when it adds real value to my work day. In the year since I made the switch from Windows to Mac I have examined hundreds of applications, many of them free or open source, and would like to give you a list of the applications that have made their way into my every day use,” David Alison blogs for, what else, David Alison’s Blog.
Alison writes, “This is by no means a comprehensive list, simply the top applications that I have found to be used nearly daily. In addition I’m not including utilities that ship with OS X.”
Top 10 free Mac utilities:
• Firefox
• Skitch
• Dropbox
• iStat menu
• Adium
• NetNewsWire
• TweetDeck
• Cyberduck
• Google Notifier
• MPlayer OSX
Alison writes, “So there you have it, my top 10 free Mac utilities. There are others that I use, just not as regularly as those listed above, including Handbrake, MySQL Tools, TrueCrypt, Audacity and GIMP. I would also mention QuickSilver, though that has been replaced by LaunchBar (a paid application) for me.”
