100 Free apps for Mac

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

Apple

There is an article on hongkiat.com. Has a very good, and comprehensive list of $FREE tools/applications to help you do what you do that much better.

I can say that I’ve used or do use at least half of these apps. They are all a good software at the bargain price of $FREE.

Can’t beat that, no sir. Some of the apps that I use on the daily are:

  • Evernote
  • Midnode
  • Anxiety
  • Quicksilver
  • Mindnode
  • CarbonCopyCloner

Surprisingly they didn’t mention DropBox. I can’t ever be too far from all those important files that let me work my magic.

Mozilla Labs’ Bespin (Web Editor)

Friday, February 13th, 2009

Mozilla labs has been working on some very interesting stuff lately. Here is another one that looks very promising; Bespin, a web-based text editor and developer tools. The idea is simple but the potential is huge. If you can maintain your projects server based and collaborate with others without the need of specialized synchronizing software, well, that would be sweet.

Imagine a web based text editor that is extensible and customizeable as firefox it self. TextMate + Vim + SVN all in one package. I for one am excited about this little gem.


Introducing Bespin from Dion Almaer on Vimeo.

I played around with it, and while it still lacks a lot of the finer points that might make this an extremely useful tool, it is impressive none the less. I can’t wait to learn more about it.

Customize your Firefox install with Personas

Monday, February 9th, 2009

I’ve just stumbled on a cool new plugin for firefox from the folks over at mozilla labs. Personas lets you theme your firefox with a wide array of different styles (see the screen shot). I’m sure there is a way to make your own, but I haven’t gotten that far yet.

I’m a customization nerd, so any chance to tweak and mix up my everyday apps is a good thing.

Download it here.

Also if you haven’t already you should definately get hooked up with the coolest add on so far, Ubiquity. You can get a run down of what it can do on lifehacker.picture-1
