Some tools are available in both free and commercial flavors to be sure to check the developer’s site details for any given application.Įditorial note: One of the good and bad things about most operating systems, and especially UNIX / Linux based ones, is that there are many ways to do the same thing.

Thanks for all the input to version 1.0 that went into creating this version.Ĭommercial applications are color-coded green.

Even I don’t have all of these installed!įeel free to send comments along and as needed I’ll update this list to keep it current. Consider your own needs and activities before downloading and installing a new application. Note that of course one person’s ”best“ is another one’s ”frivilous eye candy“. Commercial applications are color-coded green. Where the commercial one seems better than the free one, I include them all.

Where appropriate I favor the free solution. Sometimes there are free and commercial programs that do the same thing. At that point it’s a matter of taste, so I include all of them here and leave it to you to chose the one you like. Sometimes there are multiple ”best“ applications that solve the same problem. I also checked for the number of downloads and age of the application to make sure there was widespread use and that the application development is active. Usually I checked VersionTracker, but sometimes other sites as well. While creating and updating this list I read magazine reviews, searched the web, talked to Mac friends, andI also checked the reviews on each of the essential apps to be sure it wasn’t just one person’s opinion that they are the“best”. iusethis looks to be especially useful, as is VersionTracker. For more sophisticated selection of the applications that best suit you, have a look at the links to other sites below.

Note that this list is mostly for “new to Mac OS” people. Thanks to them for inspiration for putting this list together.
