- 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.

LittleSnapper (Paid) - For all my snapshot solutions
Dropbox - Hosting small files such as Javascript or images for scripts, and syncing 1Password
Sophos Anti-Virus - Can’t be too careful ;)
CloudApp - To upload screenshots or other files I want to quickly share
Transmit (Paid) - The best FTP client
Jumpcut - To hold all my clipboard snippets
Caffeine - To stop my MacBook from going to sleep while downloading important files
Wi-Fi - To connect to Wi-Fi networks
Battery - To see my battery level
Bluetooth - To check what bluetooth devices are connected and see their battery levels
Time - Sometimes I like to check it
Sound - Change the volume
Login Switcher - To quickly switch between users. Yet to actually use this one actively (only once switched to guest)
Spotlight - To find everything!

Twit Menulet: By far the easiest and best way to stay up to date with Twitter. Scrolls tweets in the menu bar and is highly configurable, including width, font size, etc.
BOINCManager: Donates idle computer times for research of illnesses & diseases. Since it runs when your computer idles, it doesn’t affect your computing at all, but it DOES have far reaching consequences. Visit BOINC for details!
: Keeps my desktop clean, automagically.
Little Snitch: Spiffy firewall with network stats.
Camouflage: Hides desktop icons, for the times when you just want to see your wallpaper in all its glory. Easy on the eyes!
Jumpcut: Clipboard history manager.
Evernote: Don’t think this one needs an introduction :)
LogMeIn: Honestly, would love to get rid of this icon, but don’t know how to. Used to access my desktop remotely when I’m on the move.
MenuCalendarClock: More attractive and useful replacement for the standard date and time. Pops up the monthly calendar on a click. Paid version syncs with iCal as well.
Spotlight

I use Adium. I like Adium. I need Adium. Then, from left to right: CalendarBar (shows iCal and Facebook events as well as birthdays), Dropbox (icon seems not to be disableable), Espionage (password encryption for single folders), Jumpcut (Clipboard history with perfect system integration), Little Snitch Monitor (firewall), LittleSnapper (screenshots), WiFi, Time Machine (currently running…), Battery, Keyboard (ugliest icon ever produced by Apple), Clock, Hotspot Shield (Germans also want to use Hulu…), and Spotlight.

My menu bar is not so radical, I like to have the original Battery, AirPort and Bluetooth icons… but for me Dropbox, CloudApp and are also must haves. The other useful icons are Jumpcut, Little Snitch and of course some from iStat Menus (Network monitor, CPU monitor, and the battery percentage).

Dropbox
Sparrow - Mail client
Jumpcut - clipboard manager
(From Kris Triplett)
To start things off, here’s my menu bar. It’s far too crowded, but I use everything on there:
SugarSync - For syncing/backing up important folders outside of Dropbox.
Dropbox - Because it’s the best syncing service there is.
Sparrow - So I know when I have new email.
/Fluid - A Fluid app for Google Tasks, for easy access to my to do list.
Plex Media Server - So my media is indexed and ready when I open up Plex.
Jumpcut - An essential clipboard manager, especially useful for copying multiple quotes or links.
Time Machine - So I can quickly initiate a backup manually.
iStat Menus Memory and CPU - To see if any programs are misbehaving, with one click access to which ones (there’s a dropdown with more info).
iStat Menus Network - To see my upload and download activity, and also if my Internet connection isn’t working, since it will be grey.
Airport - To quickly connect to Wi-Fi networks (since I use my computer in a lot of different places).
iStat Menus Battery - A more customizable battery display than the system default, with depending on the state, and more details in the dropdown.
Volume - So I can quickly see if my Mac is muted or not.
iStat Menus Calendar/Clock - Another system replacement, since iStat Menus includes a calendar and the time in other cities in the dropdown.
Spotlight - I search my computer often enough.
I occasionally also have Flux running.
