I get the Family Pack for my Macs from either Amazon or eBay.īean - A VG small, easy-to-use word processor that takes off from where Apple's TextEdit left off. Some file compatibility between the two suites. IWorks - Pages, Numbers and Keynote are Apple's answer to Microsoft's Word, Excel and PowerPoint, respectively. Instead I'll depend upon Open Office variants and. Since I'm retired, I'm not going to get Office 2011. Office 2008 - Have to have this if you gotta interface with others for your cross platform correspondence (Word, Excel and PowerPoint). I've tried them all, but keep coming back to Vienna. T-Bird handles multiple email accounts and can be an RSS reader, too. I started using Eudora in the early 90s but switched to T-Bird a couple of years ago when it looked like development of Eudora was ending. I don't use Apple's Mail nor Microsofts Entourage. ThunderBird - My go to email program by Mozilla. Current version lets you use your own server. Xmarks was going to close down, but an upwelling of users have pledged to pay $10/yr if they stay open. Xmarks is a free service, but will probably go fee for service. It supports most of the known world's browsers. Xmarks - Keeps my browser bookmarks sync'd to all my Macs and Windows 7 using VMware's Fusion. (A Family License for five computers is available for $60.) Well, worth the $30 for the single use license.

Little Snitch keeps Mac OS X add-ons and applications honest by reporting who's reporting back to the mother ship.

Little Snitch - Speaking of privacy, I've learned to distrust PC computer OS's chattiness in reporting home. I use Right-Click-Link, Tab Mix Plus and Adblock Plus to name a few that make browsing easier. BetterPrivacy, Beef Taco and NoScript extensions keep the data snatchers at bay. Firefox's ability to have third party add-ons has allowed excellent privacy protection extensions. (My original browser was Mosaic from the U of Illinois' National Center for Supercomputing Applications - remember Mark Andreessen, et al, from those days in the early 90s? No?! Oh, well.) Then, when the Mosaic crew moved to develop Netscape, I used it until it's bloat caused me to look at Firefox. I've been using Mozilla's Firefox since the early beta days. This is a must have, super utility in this privacy conscience InterNet.įirefox - I don't use Safari. I have the Family version which allows my wife and I to use our unique 1Password data across all our Macs.

With Dropbox, which is a cloud-like shared folder with up to 2GB of data for free, 1Password can be sync'd across multiple computers and OS. 1Password also helps you generate strong passwords. 1Password superbly manages your on-line passwords with both a standalone program and interfaces to all known web broswers including that Windows one.

#Apptrap yosemite software
I've posted my recommended Open Software & Freeware on this thread.ġPassword and Dropbox - These two applications are go hand-in-hand. I'm an application user, not a programmer, and my applications reflect my use of Macs over the years. Really useful with you nice new multi monitor box. Allows manipulating windows with hotkeys. Sizeup - This one is a bit esoteric but I really appreciate its utility. Adium - Great multi-protocol IM application. Boxee - This is the best media center application in my testing. Evernote - Captures snippets of text, images, web page fragments, great universal search, text recognition from images, syncs with mobile devices. Uses FFMPEG so it handles pretty much the same stuff as perian, but has more features than the default quicktime player.ħ.

Movist - This is great movie player for when quicktime does not cut it. Perian - adds support to quicktime for all those unusual codecs.Ħ. Picasa - Prefer it over iPhoto by a large margin.ĥ. Quicksilver used to be the gold standard, but has been buggy when trying it lately under SL.Ĥ. My preference is QSB since it is free, Launchbar is quite nice as well, but is a bit pricey. Google Quick Search Box, Launchbar, or Quicksilver - Quick launch apps. Growl - This gives nice system notifications supported by lots of software, configurable.
#Apptrap yosemite update
It supports scripts that can update dock badges and generate growl messages. Fluid - This one allows creating SSBs (Single Site Browsers) for your common webapps. I thought I would share some of my favorite software to get you productive in your new desktop. Perhaps some people building osx86 machines from scratch are new to OS X in general.
