Over the years my Mac apps have changed. Back in August 2009 I posted the apps that I used frequently<\/a>; in the past three years, software has changed. Here’s my updated list:<\/span><\/p>\n

:: from Apple<\/span><\/p>\n

Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Activity Monitor – I run this at all times hidden in my Dock.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Font Book<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Image Capture – I use this to retrieve photos from our iPhones and place them in my photo folder structure. (…more on that at a later date)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 iTunes – the only way that I can keep my roughly 20K audio items organized. (…more on that at a later date)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Mail – This is the best email software that I’ve used. And it’s still horrible.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Preview – fastest PDF viewer in the West<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Safari – my quick search browser<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Time Machine – saved my butt a few times<\/span><\/p>\n

Aperture – 6 years and 120K photos in and I still am in love with Aperture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Final Cut Pro 7 – I know how to use this app; I just don’t enjoy editing video.<\/span><\/p>\n

:: Paid Apps<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Adobe Bridge & Photoshop CS4 – I could probably replace Photoshop easier than I could replace Bridge. Although I do love Photoshop’s actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

:: Free Apps<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 CoRD – such a convenient to use remote desktop app<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Disk Inventory – very easily tell which files are using your drive’s space<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 FireFox – I’ve come to rely upon FFX’s “app tabs” and save session feature.<\/span><\/p>\n

:: Services<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Dropbox – file syncing for work<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 SugarSync – personal file syncing<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
