Essential OSX Appstore Apps?
- Thread starter Xee
- Start date
This, both points actually.1Passwordmay be expensive but I use it all the time, just a shame they charge for each platform.
Caffeine is a handy utility you can use to stop your Mac sleeping it's display.
Reeder is a lovely Google Reader (RSS) client.
Skitch if you need to take and annotate screenshots.
Pixelmator is a great photo/image editing app.
Is it just me or are there just not that many app for OSX as compared to iPhone/iPad? Hopefully will grow a useful list of apps. Very impressed with MplayerX so far, cant fault it yet. Much better the Quicktime with perian and VLC.
On a side note is there away to use 2 finger swipe in the appstore on trackpad to go backwards and forwards like in Safari? I know u can use keyboard option key + [ or ].

Pixelmator (great photoshop alternative for those who aren't professionals and just need a bit of lightweight editing)
Growl
Flow (Really nice FTP/SFTP client)
Textual IRC Client
iStudiez Pro (Organising your uni/college life!)
Netuse Traffic Monitor (SNMP application to see your overall Internet usage across the network (in regards to speed and data used))
iNet - Not terribly well featured but it's quite nice for quick viewing the status of your network devices.

Most of these have already been mentioned but I will post them again to reiterate how good they are.
1Password - I use this everyday. Great integration with osx and incredibly useful.
Reeder - Probably the best RSS client for the mac. Make google reader much more feature rich and easier to use.
MplayerX - The best go to video app. I have stopped using VLC altogether now.
