Flux - I’ve hidden the icon since I couldn’t figure out how to change it. Tints the screen a warmer tone at night.
Vienna - RSS reader. I wish I could figure out how to disable the unread menu count though.
Gmail Notifr - nice and simple.
Echofon - Twitter app.
nvALT - great for quick note-taking.
Delibar - for access to my Delicious bookmarks.
CloudApp - quick file uploading.
Calendar - calendar that shows iCal events.
CalendarBar - I’ve hidden the menubar icon and checked “Show badge inside icon” in the the preferences, so I end up with just the number of events I have for the day.
Caffeine
Focusbar - pop-up reminders to keep me focused.
- current condition icon and temperature.
iStat Menus - battery and time.
Spotlight
Most of the custom icons are from the Clean icon set (no longer available), modified to fit different apps. The CloudApp icon is from here.

- The least lame Twitter client I’ve tried.
- Recently been trying out this slick little IMAP email client.
Dropbox (Flash Drives have now joined Floppy Disk and Zip Disk in the retirement home.)
Utility for the scanner function on the Canon MG5220 Multifunction machine. I actually use Image Capture to actually scan, but it breaks if I remove this.
controller - The device itself was designed for video editing, but I use it for brush resizing and zooming in/out in Photoshop and Illustrator. Buttons are mapped to key modifiers. (Way better than Express Keys on my Wacom Tablet.
- Necessity when working on multiple devices.
Jumpcut - Multi-item clipboard utility. Only handles text, but does it well.
Transmit - Nice FTP/S3 transfers
iChat, MenuMeters, Time Machine, Blutetooth, AirPort Signal, Keyboard/Character Viewer (for when I can’t remember how to type certain oddball characters), Media Eject, Clock, and Spotlight, which I pretty much use as an app launcher.

Echofon: My choice of Twitter client these days. It’s not as pretty as the other options, but it has streaming API and syncs across the iOS counterparts. And I was growing increasingly annoyed of Twitter for iPhone with the #dickbar.
Dropbox: The first app I install on any Mac (including the ones I help set up for my friends). I’m a pro user with the 50GB space plan.
: With 3 iOS devices in the house, it’s great to just relax in any corner of the house and stream my favorite movies or TV shows.
(Blurred out as it’s still in beta and I can’t talk about it yet.)
Notificant: I may sound biased, but this has practically replaced all other reminder apps for me. I have the beta of the iPhone app installed on my iPhone 4, so my workflow revolves around notifications via Notificant now.
Cloud App: I just prefer it over Droplr, though I tend to also use idzr.org and dznr.org at times.
Flow app: Trying this out, so it’s new up there.
Caffeine: Great when you want to leave the screen on.
iStat Menus: The time and the xx% next to it are modules of iStat Menus. A click on the time shows me a list of world clocks and a click on the CPU percentage lists this: http://pre.sh/5Uc4
Bluetooth: Like Ben (Brooks), I like knowing what I’m currently connected to and this also gives me easy access when the Magic Mouse runs out of battery.
Wi-fi: For obvious reasons
Sound: I always plan to remove it from up there, but never actually get to doing it.
Battery: My battery’s status says “Service battery” and I’m almost about to purchase a new iMac, so I don’t want to spend $250 on a new battery. So this helps me keep an eye when the AC Power goes off.
