Mac OSX tips and programs
Since there seem to be a lot of Mac users on here I figured I'd create a thread for tips and cool little programs you can get for your OS.
This comprehensive list below was taken from the good folks at http://www.applegeeks.com with a couple extra progrmas added by me. Part 1: Internet (web, mail, ftp, etc.) Safari - This has become the default browser on Macs anymore since it now comes bundled with the OS and it set to be the default browser. It's fairly capable and has some nice user protections like the ability to block pop-ups and such. It also displays pages with a high level of competency and the upcoming 1.3 version even moreso. Camino - This is a browser project originally started by Dave Hyatt who has now been working for Apple on Safari. Camino used to be known as Chimera and uses Mozilla's Gecko rendering engine. What pages Safari has trouble with Camino usually handles very well. Camino is an excellent browser choice if you're stuck with an older version of OSX for some reason since the latest versions of Safari only run on 10.3. Firefox - Current Mozilla open-source effort, and a great alternative to Internet Explorer, or, if you run into a page Safari doesn't run, this will probably handle it just fine. Supports a wide range of extensions, skins and plugins to help customize and manage web browsing to your personal specifications. Fetch - great FTP app. Really easy to use, and is full-featured. Great for beginners or those who just want a simple way to manage their transfers. Mail - For a free e-mail client Apple's Mail is very capable. Except for the most demanding organizational tasks Mail is a really nice e-mail client. It can handle POP and IMAP mail and has a really well designed anti-spam processing system. It also supports encryption if you've got a personal certificate from someone like Thawte. A plug-in will let you use GPG for encryption and signing. Entourage 2004 - Entourage is part of Microsoft Office. Unlike it's counterpart on Windows, Outlook, it is actually a really useful application that doesn't open your system up to every exploit and malicious bit of code on the internet. It's biggest drawback however is practically no integration with the rest of OSX. Mail uses OSX's Address Book to manage contacts and such, Entourage uses its own address book and such. Transmit - A good FTP application is worth its weight in cybergold. Where Transmit really shines over some other Mac FTP apps is its relatively fresh codebase. It has excellent AppleScript support and very much feels like an application designed from the ground up to run on OSX. Cyberduck - Cyberduck is an open source FTP application for OSX. Like Transmit it is very capable and is a well written OSX application. My favorite feature is the ability to open files in a number of different external text editors. RBrowser - SFTP Remote file management, file transfers and folder syncing. Good all-around FTP app. GyazMail - email client for OS X. Has a multitude of helpful features, and is pretty lightweight. ThunderBird - Mozilla's email client. Features a smart junk mail filter and is a good all-around alternative for Mail or Entourage. Productivity (text editors, word processors, programming apps, etc.) TextWrangler - This is the more modernized cousin of the venerable BBEdit. It replaced BBEdit Lite and serves as a much cheaper version of BBEdit for folks who have no use for BBEdit's extensive web-oriented capabilities. To some people it seems strange to pay money for a text editor but if you really want to streamline programming or administration work TW is well worth the money. It allows you to do the sorts of stuff you'd need to roll your own Awk, Perl, Sed, and shell scripts to do all with a sensible interface. Word 2004 - My second listed Microsoft application. On Windows Microsoft office has largely killed its competition through various means. As such Office has a monopoly position on the office productivity market. This has caused a bit of stagnation in the progression of the suite however and Office XP is little if any better than Office 200 was. On the Mac this is not the case, Microsoft still has lots of competition in the productivity market and as such puts a lot of effort into Office for the Mac. Word is a very nice word processor and is quite a bit nicer to use than its Windows counterpart. Mariner Write - For a majority of users the full capabilities of Word 2004 will go entirely unrealized. Mariner Write is a good alternative for Mac wielding folk. It supports all of the formatting options available in Word as well as more advanced features like styles and mail merge features. It can read but not save to Word format (.doc) which is a bonus and then a drawback rolled into one. SubEthaEdit - Consider yourself cool if you get the literary reference in this application's name. SubEthaEdit is a free-for-personal-use text editor in the same vein as TextWrangler. It doesn't have all of TW's advanced edit, search, and transformation features but it is a very nice editor. It support syntax highlighting and has easily written syntax definitions. It's claim to fame however is its ability to let multiple people edit the same file all at once. If you're interested at all in "Extreme Programming" this is a very interesting feature. OpenOffice - The free alternative to expensive word processors and programs such as the Office suite, this crossplatform, open-source (Mac, Windows, Linux) suite of programs is ideal for anyone who wants productivity on par with processors, without paying the price. ThinkFree Office - Free service/apps lets you create, access and edit Word, Excel or PowerPoint documents. New Online service lets you do all this from within your web browser. Very neat. Abiword - Free word processor similar to MS Word. XCode 2.0 - Fast way for developers to create OS X apps, and easily take advantage of new Apple technologies. Brought to you by Apple itself, it's a great tool for development, coding and compiling. TypeStyler - a highly profesional word graphic editing application. So you could think of it as like Adobe Illustrator mixed with Microsoft Word Art. It has the ability to do animations, and it can export, beyond the standar gif, jpeg, eps etc... it can also export to Photoshop and Illustrator. Nisus Writer - Great app and alternative to Word. Fluid and faster than Word, and works great for typing up normal papers and has lots of good advanced functions. Also supports many file formats and can export to .doc formats. TexShop - for the real in-depth word processing guru, this app lets you use LaTeX. Works kind of like HTML, but you use tags to describe how you want your document to look. Open source, and very flexible. ScholarWord - App lets you enter the information from any book, and it will automatically format a Works Cited entry for you. Great for lazy college kids! woot. RapidWeaver - one great template-based application. Lets you design and edit a template in very little time and post it online really quickly. Works really well with iLife, too. VoodooPad - Great little text editor app that acts a lot like some crazy, crazy brainstorming session. has quick HTML layouts, internal document searches, movie and image support, full functionality to BBEdit, email support, file encryption, sketching, export to iPod Notes, and much, much more. And free. Business graphics (charts, presentations, fonts, etc.) OmniGraffle - Few traditional graphic design apps are geared for use by non-artist types who need to have balanced organizational charts and wow-the-PHB diagrams, not Pantone support or umpteen dozen image filters. OmniGraffle is one of the best applications I've ever used for this purpose, ever. Keynote - I just recently started using Keynote after years spent hassling with PowerPoint. The difference is ridiculous, especially compared to the Mac version of PowerPoint. Keynote uses Quartz and OpenGL components to do 3D and 2D transitions and can output to .ppt files, movies, or even PDFs. Stone Create - Not everyone needs XPress but a lot of people want or need to publish small business documents. It's a really nice graphic design app that doesn't overwhelm you with a fantastic array of features. Font Sampler 0.5 - A small program that gives you a good overview of all your fonts. Professional Graphics/ 3D Art apps - Graphicconverter The swiss army knife of graphics apps. Reads/writes a ridiculous amount of formats, sweet interface, decent animated GIF building, etc. $30 Shareware, requires 10.1.5, older versions for OS 8&9. GIMP - free, open source and actually fairly decent and photoshop-ish. Mac OS X includes gimpprint so hopefully printing wont be as clumsy as it is with OpenOffice. Wings 3D - nice little 3D app for modelling. Photoshop - expensive, but the leading image-editing standard. Supports a huge amount of files and export formats, and the tools it gives you are unparralleled when you learn to use them all. Blender3D - open source software for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, post-prodution, creation and playback. Available for Linux, OS X and Windows. Quartz Composer - comes with every Tiger installation. Lets you use the RSS screensaver template to modify whatever you want in it, create your own screensavers and nifty videos, and best of all, you get to mess around with Quartz. Core Image Fun House - again, comes with Tiger. Found at /Developer/Applications/Graphics Tools. A lot of fun to play around with. Lets you apply image filters and effects in real time. ArtRage - Amazing freeware program that closely mimics classic art tools like paintbrushes and pencils. Looks really amazing. IM, IRC, and communications - Adium X - Adium is the Trillian of the Mac world. It is highly customizable, works with all of the major IM networks, and best of all is open source. It uses the libgaim library for IM network connectivity but uses fully Cocoa front-end code. It looks and feels like a regular Mac application ought to. Adium is pretty featureful and is getting better all the time. Proteus - Proteus is the closed source cousin of Adium. Like Adium it is built around the libgaim library but is not itself open source. Proteus isn't quite as customizable as Adium but it does provide quite a bit of customization options. It supports buddy icons for several networks (something Microsoft's official MSN client still isn't able to do). Snak - Snak is one of the more mIRC-ish IRC clients available for OSX. If you've been using mIRC on Windows you'll feel pretty comfortable with Snak. It supports ircII and AppleScript scripts though it does not support existing mIRC scripts. Ircle - Ircle is a very un-mIRC IRC client but is no less functional nor workable. It's interface takes some getting used to but it can end up being extremely handy with some practice. Ircle has been in existence for a very long time and if you look there's a huge number of scripts available for it. Skype - VERY high quality, native OS X app with insanely popular Windows and Linux versions. Allows you to place unlimited computer-to-computer calls, and with a subscription, it will let you place and receive calls to/from computers and phones. X-Chat Aqua - Another great OS X IRC app. Uses the IRC engine from XChat and has been designed to look and feel like XChat. Colloquy - Very good, very "Mac-like" IRC client. Conversation - very un-IRC interface, behaves more like iChat. RSS aggregators and Usenet readers Unison - This is a very new newsreader from the folks at Panic. Despite its age it has turned into a very capable and extremely useful newsreader. It recognizes media files in Usenet postings and displays them in lists so they're easy to download. If you grab any sorts of files off of Usenet Unison is a very useful tool. MaxNews - MaxNews is an older newsreader that has been ported to OSX. It is functional and relatively light weight. It handled newsgroups in a typical three-pane fashion. NewsWatcherX - NWX is a Carbon port of an older Mac newsreader called NewsWatcher. It is a very plain application with practically no Aqua fanciness included. If you're not into the all dancing all singing types of Mac apps this is a definite keeper. NetNewsWire (Lite) - NNW and NNWL are both awesome RSS aggregators built from the outset for OSX. Their interfaces are very simple but not so simple they lack any function. NNW can not only read RSS feeds but also post to all of the popular blogging engines from inside of its own interface. The Lite version is free and lacks some features but if you're a cheapskate it works well enough to use on a daily basis. PulpFiction - PulpFiction is an RSS reader that is styled more similar to Apple's Mail than NNW. it's got some very excellent features and is a bit cheaper than NNW. The per-feed refresh schedules and search functionality serve to make it a very nice RSS aggregator. NewsFire - Lets you add RSS feeds from your favorite sites so that you can check on updates whenever you like. I'm sure your saying to yourself, "But I don't know if my favorite website has an RSS feed." Well, worry not. A special search function in the program will let you look for RSS feeds on any website you desire. P2P/Bittorrent programs - Poisoned - This is one of the nicer P2P clients available on OSX. It is compatible with several networks and has a very useful search interface. It is an open source application and is very stable and functional. Poisoned allows for a lot of control over bandwidth limitations and ports used. Acquisition - This is a P2P client written in Java but specifically for OSX. I think it does a good job of showing off how well a Java app can run on OSX. Its got the same features as Poisoned for the most part but is not open source nor free. Some people much prefer it to Poisoned even if their features are roughly equal. Tomato Torrent - While Tomato isn't the "official" Mac BitTorrent client it is very awesome. It supports pretty much the entire range of BitTorrent option and provides a very nice and comprehensive GUI for all such features. SolarSeek - open source project to develop a native OS X client for the SoulSeek p2p network. XFactor - Pretty good p2p app, supports many different p2p networks and searches them all. Azureus - good bittorent app, allows for multiple simultaneous downloads, speed limiting, and has many adjustable settings. Last edited by dj_soo; Jan 30, 06 at 05:05 PM.

part 2:
Games/Game Publishers InsideMacGames - While IMG isn't a game publisher they're one of the better if not best sites covering Mac gaming. While we don't get the volume of games that Windows does we do get quite a bit. IMG provides pretty good reviews of the Mac ports of games and offers some nice previews of upcoming ones. Ambrosia Software - Ambrosia makes some of the most addicting computer games around. EV Nova is one of their most popular and is even available on Windows. They make some excellent non-game software as well. The Ambrosia guys are excellent developers and all around nice people. Aspyr - Aspyr has been on a game porting binge much to the relief of Mac users everywhere. They've recently released HomeWorld 2 and KOTOR, along with Stubbs the Zombie. MacPlay - MacPlay has been in a bit of a lull in releasing newer titles but they've got a pretty nice collection of slightly older games available that are no less fun to play despite their age. They did however just release TRON 2.0 which is a very well done port of the game. MacSoft - MacSoft is responsible for porting one of my favorite games (NWN) to the Mac. They've also got Halo and Unreal Tournament 2003/4 under their belts. Freeverse - Most people have probably heard of Freeverse already since there are Windows versions of some of their games. Their Mac games despite being small in scope are a lot of fun and graphically appealing. Graphsim - Graphsim publishes a number of simulator games such as X-Plane and F/A-18 OIF. Solitaire XL - Solitaire game builds on the power of Cocoa/OpenGL. Has some cool 3D effects, and is completely free. Battelfield 1942 Pirate Mod - Arrrr... enough said! Prince of Persia flash game - http://www.gamespot.com/promos/princ...ia-game/flash/ System/Disk/Network tweakage or addons - MenuMeters - a small menu bar applet that displays system stats, such as CPU usage, network throughput, RAM totals, Disk Activity, etc. Resides in the menu bar. SpeedFreak - a useful little application that "speeds up" your machine by a small fraction, by giving priority to whatever program is in the foreground at the expense of whatever's behind it. Very useful on older systems, because it allows other programs to retain some usability when you're doing something intensive in the background. CarraFix - On a network with a number of other users, but are being perpetually hounded not to use so much bandwidth? Carrafix allows you to limit the amount of bandwidth (speed) each program on your machine is allowed to use, and means other people on your network don't kill you in your sleep. Very useful in conjunction with netstat (or Apple's Network Utility for the less geeky). SpeedDownload - OS X app to help manage and speed along your multitude of downloads. This app includes uploading, file sharing, scheduling, supports auto-resuming of downloads, and can maximize bandwidth usage. SizzlingKeys - control iTunes from the keyboard, and very sexy. SideTrack - alternate touchpad driver, offering among other things the capability to add a scroll feature to the touchpad of an iBook or a PowerBook, mimicking the newer PowerBooks' ability to do so. Free trial, $15. Temperature Monitor Lite - great for viewing system temperature at a variety of areas. Xupport - good system maintenance app. Provides many features to configure OS X and Unix options to increase security and performance. Also helps maintain and backup the OS. PageSucker - downloads entire web pages for you. MacStumbler - utility to display information about nearby 802.11b/g WAPs, requires and Apple Airport Card and OS X 10.1 + Jiggler 1.2 - Freeware app to keep your mac from going to sleep. Jiggler will basically jiggle your mouse every now and then, to keep your computer awake. WhatSize - tool that will let you meaure the size of a given folder and it's subfolders/files. Pacifist - Browses and extracts files from .pkg files. TigerLaunch - application launching manager. Displays a menu listing all of your apps, and you can configure that list to contain w/e apps you want or don't want. Source code is available. Quicksilver - great tool that can be used to find and launch apps from your keyboard. Kind of like Spotlight, but more for frequently used items, and lets you email, copy and compress files that are found. Highly recommended. Dragthing - another launcher program that basically creates a replacement Dock which is infinitely more cutomizable. Advanced users can probably add a bunch of Applescripts to the Dock to save even more time. Shareware. Launchbar - Similar to Quicksilver, only it concentrates on finding and launching apps/sites with a few keystrokes. Disk Inventory X - great little application that takes count of all your files and folders and their sizes, then visually, graphically presents it to you so you have a graphical way of seeing what is taking up space. Great app to use now and then, and will let you see any hidden files. Great for finding those files you know are taking up space, but need to know their location/purpose. teleport - simple utility that lets you use one single mouse and keyboard to control several macs. Konfabulator - For those without Tiger or Macs at all, Konfabulator does the same thing. Has it's own widgets and has an expose-like effect. It was recently purchased by Yahoo!, so it is now under their domain. Audio/Video/Music - WireTap - a free little utility from AmbrosiaSW that allows you to record audio directly from your Mac, with no loss of quality. To clarify, it records every sound your machine would normally put out the speakers, but nothing from the microphone (should you have one). AudioIn - Got a Microphone? The old iMacs, all iBooks and any iSight all have built-in microphones, and AudioIn allows you to simply record audio from them and save it to the desktop. It's about the simplest solution of it's kind, and very useful for recording anything you need for later (meetings, interviews, etc...) MPlayer OS X 2 - Quicktime can't play everything, and that's where MPlayer comes in. Originally a port from the original Linux version, MPlayer allows you play avi, wmp and asf files that Quicktime can't, is very simple and easy to use, and is free. VLC - This useful app plays just about anything you can throw at it, except for those pesky WMV3 codec files. Also handles VIDEO_TS files easily and can play DVDs. Free! Volume Logic - tweaks your speaker/sound output settings in iTunes, makes the standard equalizer seem like total trash. Great for getting many different types of sound output. Audion - Plays audio CDs, mp3s, can handle streaming network audio, encode, edit, mix, sort and manage, and has visualizations. Can also broadcast, record, crossfade, and work with an iPod. Great all-around audio app, but unfortunately, support and development has been dropped for this app, so don't expect any future updates or fixes. Free. Noise - It creates a standing wave of white noise, best heard in headphones, which very quickly starts to sound like heavy rain. What's the point? It does two useful things: drowns out any sounds around you, and helps you concentrate on the task at hand, both of which are accomplished MUCH better than would be done by simply listening to music. After a while, it becomes very relaxing, and it's easy to concentrate and get some serious work done. Audacity - Free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. Available for OS X, Windows and Linux. Snapz Pro X 2 - It allows you to take detailed movies of, your screen, particular windows, particular applications, or sections of a screen. It also now comes with inbuilt Wiretap to record the sound too. Divx 6 for Mac - Pretty much a must-have for OS X, this will let you open avi's and other files easily in Quicktime, and files that previously wouldn't work. 3ivx codec pack - Although Quicktime is Mpeg-4 compliant, certain pc codecs don't seem to encode in a way that it likes to read. As such, especially for xvid and even normal divx encodes, use this. Decent alternative to the Divx codec. IEatBrainz - fills in missing information for your music library MPfreaker - Same as above, does artwork too. AudioHijack - records audio from any application. Saves to an AIFF file and then can be burned to CDs and played in any audio player, like iTunes or even an iPod. iWake - alarm clock app that integrates well with iTunes, even lets you select a playlist from iTunes and also has a snooze feature. Handbrake - a great app for converting DVDs and VIDEO_TS folders to a variety of Quicktime and iPod-compatible formats. Has a great host of features and lets you pick out a lot of different settings including audio format/output, audio bitrate, manual video bitrate selection, cropping, size, etc etc etc. Great for converting DVDs to h.264 videos or plain .mp4s, albeit slow on lower-end processors. I recommend a G5, but it works on G4s, just takes hours. MacTheRipper - Rips DVDs to a VIDEO_TS folder, while removing all macrovision, encryption and region encoding. Great for ripping that protected DVD and then reburning it to another blank. DVD2OneX - Goes along great with MacTheRipper. Takes a VIDEO_TS folder as input, and will allow you to compress this folder to fit on a standard DVD, while maintaining a great deal of quality. TransLucy - Shareware program lets you play translucent DVDs and lets you work while a DVD is playing fullscreen. You can type a paper while having a nice, transparent DVD playing over the entire screen. Even lets you select the opacity level. AirFoil - application to allow any app's audio to be sent to your Airport Express. You can send audio from WMP, Quicktime, even DVD player. Miscellaneous - iComic - A program that automatically downloads and shows the entire archive of any comic you can find a plugin for. It shows the comics in an easily accessible calendar form and it downloads the latest comics automatically if you are connected to the internet. Ananth wrote a plugin for Applegeeks which you can find here: http://www.applegeeks.com/downloads/...mic_plugin.dmg Candybar - Together with icons from www.iconfactory.com, allows you to customize a ton of your icons (even generic icons, or icons that can't be changed by copying and pasting). Savitar - If you happen to still be in the MU* scene, Savitar is a good basic shareware program. The only area it's really lacking in is triggers, which its Windows equivalents have. BLT - Braxton's Link Tester does just that - tests links! Virtue - virtual desktop manager. works well with expose, allows for Applescripts and plugins, and has pretty nice eye-candy. Desktop Manager - virtual desktop manager for OS X. unlimited virtual screens, good transitions, support for hotkeys, and has lots of other nifty features. You Control: Desktops - allows you to create virtual desktops that allow you to extend functionality. Lets you create a desktop for each workspace. BurnX Free - cd burning software for data disks Disc Burner - same as above Screen Spanning Doctor - Unlocks the ability to use external displays as spanned screens, instead of just mirroring for iBooks, iMacs and eMacs. Allows operation in clamshell mode for iBooks. Use at your own risk, though! ExhibitionX - cool app for viewing and exporting picture folders and iPhoto albums. I used it to export pics to a QT movie. Stattoo - displays stats like incoming mail, appointments, disk space and more on your desktop. DeskShade 2 - easy to use desktop manager. Downloading imbedded QT trailers/movies - Open the page with the movie trailer Right click the page, and View Source. Hit CMD-F to bring up the Find prompt for the source code. Search for ".mov" highlight the entire .mov URL (this is the actual QT movie URL) Open up Terminal, then do: cd Desktop fetch -O (insert URL here) If fetch -O doesn't work, try: curl -O (URL) Getting scroll arrows on both ends of the scroll bar - defaults write "Apple Global Domain" AppleScrollBarVariant DoubleBoth and to set it back to normal - defaults write "Apple Global Domain" AppleScrollBarVariant DoubleMax Reinstalling bad apps - If you ever hate how your app is behaving (crashing.. or just sucks) and want to 'reinstall' it, but can't find a download link, just fire up your install CD/DVD and navigate on over to (for Tiger): /Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages All the install packages for the main software are there. Mail, Safari, iTunes, iChat, printer drivers, languages, it's mostly there.

LaunchBar - one of my favourites. You just hit Command-Space to bring LaunchBar's input window to front, enter an arbitrary abbreviation, and already while you're typing LaunchBar displays the best matching choices, ready to be opened immediately.

I have quicksilver but don't use it as much as I would if I had a real desktop setup. These programs are essentially designed so you don't have to take you hands off the keyboard and use your mouse (supposedly increasing productivity)

yea, it's cool for instance you can hit ctrl-space, type in the first 3 letters of a picture you want to find, hit tab, select 'open with' and then type pho to open it with photoshop.
can also do things like move docs or choose them to e-mail and stuff...

here's a tip for those that want more customization or organizational ability in their dock but don't want to spring the cash for programs like dragthing or similar programs:
Instead of putting a crapload of programs into your dock and having all these tiny icons where you can barely remember where things are try this: #1 - create a series of folders for the different types of applications, documents, etc. that you want to access (i.e. a folder for Internet Applications or a folder for Music Apps). #2 - Create Shortcuts for all the programs you want to access in your dock. #3 - (optional) Customize the icon to something you'll remember. #4 - Put said folder in your dock. Now you can right-click (if you have a 2 button mouse) or Ctrl click that folder and it produces a list of the items located in the folder for 1-click access.

more programs:
Cocktail & tinker tool Two programs that are essentially OSX interfaces to access some of the hidden Unix features for both maintenence of your computers and various cosmetic changes. My favorite option is the ability to uncenter the dock (as I still hate the thing) to function as a small task switcher.
