- 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!

Typinator - Program that saves me hours a day. Used to create reusable text snippets
Transmit - I use it constantly to access and move files between systems
Time Sink - It keeps track of where I’m spending time in most of my applications, I’m developing an extension for Chrome that will show you which sites you spend most of your time on.
Linkinus - IRC Client
Remind Me Later - Accepts very simple language for creating reminders. Things like “In 30 minutes walk the dogs” or “Next Tuesday change the oil in the Jetta”
NetworkLocation - My machine can now adapt to my surroundings, if I’m on my home network it will fire up certain applications, if I’m in the office others, and at the coffee shop different apps too.
- yup
Clyppan - My clipboard manager of choice
Divvy - I can use keyboard shortcuts to quickly resize and reposition windows. I can open 2 side by side and fill the screen in a few seconds.

WiFi

Sparrow - minimal mail app.
Dropbox - essential syncing app
Caffeine - should be built-in
Quicksilver - app launcher and all the rest.
I have also other apps that use the menubar, but I would rather keep it minimal.

Then the Apple ones: Spaces, Displays, Time Machine, Airport, Volume, Bluetooth, Battery, Clock, and Spotlight.
