 - GUI for OpenVPN on Mac OS X, for a secure connection to my company’s network
          Dropbox - Simply brilliant, but still expensive for non-free packages (50/100 GB)
          Skitch - For extremely convenient screenshots and annotations, everyone should install it
          Divvy - Window management, useful for 13” screens, but further improvements are needed
          CloudApp - Another gem for files in the cloud, this one being very useful while sharing them. It just can’t get any simpler than this
          Remind Me Later -  Quickly adds events to iCal. Similar to Fantastical’s input, but it’s free
          Translator - A small app for quick drag n drop translations via Google Translate
          Caffeine - For preventing the computer from automatically going to sleep. Although not necessary while playing movies or presentations since such applications have this function enabled by default
          Quicksilver - This one is keeping me very productive every day
          The usual suspects: Time Machine, Bluetooth, WiFi, Battery level
          Display(s) - I keep it in the right since some projectors often have a low resolution causing most of the menu items on the left being “eaten” by the menu of the applications, after which it’s impossible to change the resolution or screen configuration
          Keyboard - Most of my time I type in Croatian, however, the US keyboard is slightly better for coding
          Clock - 24hr rules, can’t use the 12hr, it reminds me of other non-metric absurdities
          Spotlight - it’s not that bad!
          (From F)

Adium - I think everyone knows the best IM client for Mac.
          Disk Drill - data recovery software and S.M.A.R.T. monitor.
          F.lux - better lighting…for your computer, great software.
          Avast - cause you never know, this is beta and it’s free.
          and others: iSync, Time Machine, Bluetooth, Volume, Time and Spotlight.

: For my TV shows delight. It automatically downloads the .torrent file and opens my torrent download client when a new favorite show appears in the net.
          Adium: My favorite IM client. Using the Marten-Plain White menu bar icons set.
          Sparrow: Best desktop Gmail client. Period.
          Skitch: I love Skitch for quick capturing and sketch notes. I use in conjuntion with Droplr (see below) because I prefer a shared image page without much clutter.
          Alfred: Applications launcher on steroids. I really like the command customization, and the Powerpack rocks!
          Dropbox: Should I describe it?
          Droplr: It let you store images, files, texts and short URLs by just dragging anything to the menubar icon. I mostly use it with Skitch to capture -> drag -> get link.
          PasteBot: Copy and paste directly to my iOS devices.
          : Only for quickly adding events/reminders to my Google Calendar, I don’t use the Gmail notifier because Sparrow manages it just fine.
          Typinator: A really useful text expander tool, for quick snippets and signatures.
          MagicPrefs: Enhanced functionality for my Magic Mouse and Macbook Pro trackpad. Haven’t tried other alternatives, but it works amazingly.
          Evernote: Love to have everything stored in one place. Even my bills and tickets. Syncing with all my devices is the best thing.
          Caffeine: Because my Mac also needs a dose.
          : Very cool alarm clock with nice features like use your own music, and less intrusive than Awaken. And best of all, free!
          Radium: Best online radio player for Mac. Only lives in your menubar, no useless windows. Just plays the radio and also scrobbles to Last.fm.
          And the Apple ones: Time Machine, Bluetooth, Airport, Sound, Battery, Hour and Spotlight.
