Dropbox — Probably the most brilliant gem. I use the 50GB Pro plan.
ClipMenu — My choice for clipboard manager. Pretty simple app with a lot of custom options.
Caffeine — Click it to prevent your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting screen savers.
CloudApp — A well-known one. Allows you to share images, links, music, videos and files. Also, automatically uploads your recent screenshot and copies the link ready to share.
BaseApp — Helps you stay on top of everything that happens in your Basecamp accounts. I use Basecamp in my work and I’m tired of the inbox overflowed with Basecamp notifications. Let BaseApp do it. From creators of CloudApp.
— The one and only notification system for Mac. Should be built-in.
DisplayPad — Allows you to use your iPad as a second display for your Mac. There’s a variety of such apps, but this one seems to be the best.
— Official Twitter app.
LittleSnapper — Allows you to capture screenshots, organize them or annotate and share. This tool has a very nice and native interface and, as a UI designer, I use it a lot for capturing some inspiring elements.
The rest are built-in ones: Keyboard, Clock and Spotlight.

Xmarks - This is great to keep bookmarks synchronized between different machines and also to keep them backed up in the cloud.
Quicksilver - Fantastic app to do more with less work. Recently it has seen new life, it is rock solid on Snow Leopard. It has a lot of goodies (like triggers, plugins) and pretty soon you’ll be a keyboard ninja operating your Mac.
Dropbox - Just Wow!
TextExpander - This one of those must have apps. Great to create form letters, emails, etc… TypeIt4Me is also a great substitute, I have both of them and they are equally good.
BetterTouchTool - It’s like TouchPad Pro for your Mac. Expands the multitouch capabilities of the touchpad. Really useful.
QuickCal - I learned about this little gem on Mac Menu Bars. Lovely little app that allows me to check my calendars and todo’s and with a quick shortcut key allows me to enter events in plain language. Really useful. Works well with BusyCal because it shares the iCal database, but the developer is working on a better integration with BusyCal.
ClipMenu - ⌘-C ⌘-V for the Pros.
LittleSnapper - Screenshot utility with powerful sharing and editing features.
QuickCursor - A quick way to launch my favorite no distractions text editor (WriteRoom) from any app.
Hazel - Another must have little gem. It automates a lot of folder cleaning and organizing stuff.
BusyCal - It is often described as iCal Pro, and in effect it is. The way it syncs with Gmail is alone worth it.
Bluetooth, Airport utility, Sound and Battery Status, all stock Apple items.
FuzzyClock - FuzzyClock is great. It gives you the time but in a more human reading form.

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!

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.

LittleSnapper - making screenshots and capturing inspiring web sites
Mailplane - my e-mail client of choice
OmniFocus - managing all my tasks and projects there
- amazing desktop app for the ReadItLater service (similar to Instapaper, but better)
- I tried bunch of other Twitter apps and came back to the official one. It’s neat and gets the work done
Dropbox - I was a SugarSync user for a while, but now I’m using Dropbox for all my current documents and keep SugarSync for long-term archives (due to its flexible selective sync features)
- I’m working a lot with people overseas, so I need IM and VOIP a lot
TextExpander - I didn’t understand for a long time why people use text-expanding apps, but once I started to use one - there’s no turning back. It’s SO good!
RescueTime - this is a new app for me, I’m trying to be more conscious about how I’m spending my time and RescueTime keeps track of all my computer activities
Pomodoro - amazing Pomodoro timer that is integrated with OmniFocus and helps me to work on my tasklist in short 25-min bursts
Isolator - another productivity app that helps me to focus on one app at a time
Cinch - simple window manager that allows me to quickly arrange windows side by side
gfxCardStatus - controls which videocard is used when I’m plugged in and which when I’m running on battery. It really helps to save battery a lot
CalendarBar - all of my calendars (yes I have more than one) are on Google and I tried to use many calendaring apps and frankly this little gem does 90% of what I need
f.lux - really saves my poor eyes when I work late at night
Caffeine - I rarely use it, but sometimes when you’re watching videos or making a presentation it’s indispensable
Transmit - FTP/S3 client of choice
Evernote - I’m a big fan and use it to store lots of reference materials
Spaces
iStat Menus - configured to show time, battery and CPU, with a bunch of other information available through a drop-down menu
Language Bar - I’m bi-lingual, so I switch a lot between English and Russian
Every other default icon (except Spaces) including Spotlight (I use Launchbar anyway) is removed since I either don’t need it or have a better alternative.
