MAC Apps

Collection of Mac Apps I recommend & have used in the past. At the moment I’m back to using Windows though the past few years.  –  Not update to date if any have better replacement’s, but I have have used most below in the past.

  • AppCleaner – When you move an application to the trash, you’re automatically asked if you want to move the associated preference files as well. Now that’s uninstallation, the Mac way.  –  site/free download
  • Caffeine – Caffeine is a tiny program that puts an icon in the right side of your menu bar. Click it to prevent your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting screen savers. Click it again to go back. Right-click (or ?-click) the icon to show the menu. – site/free download
  • TextWrangler – My preferred HTML/Script Editor – Has build in FTP. site/free download (also in Apple’s App  Store)
  • Transmission – Transmission is a cross-platform BitTorrent client. Transmission is an open source, volunteer-based project. Unlike some BitTorrent clients, Transmission doesn’t play games with its users to make money.  site/free download
  • Chicken of the VNC – Free VNC viewer. Works great. site/free download

  • Microsoft Remote Desktop – Ok.. OK.. if you need to RDP to a Microsoft Windows computer best app is Microsoft’s own app and it’s free from that app store. site link
  • iSplash – Photo editor. Takes color pictures, makes them black and white then lets you fade sections back to color.  Very cool!!!
