Evernote - just for Notes
ReadNow - a Read It Later list app
Grooveshark - just a Fluid menubar SSB
Blast - access recently used files and apps
Secret - sure you can guess what sort of app it is from the icon but it’s gorgeous and functional
Skitch - Screenshots
Dropbox - Duh!
TextExpander - Snippets
DelibarApp - Quick access to Delicious or Pinboard.in bookmarks
Divvy - Window management
- Showing different world times
Seamless - Transition songs playing on iTunes from Mac to iPhone and back.
Fl.ux - Adjust the color temperature of your screen so working at night is easier on the eyes.
Caffeine - To stop my Mac from falling to sleep.
Fuzzy - Shows the current time in words eg. ‘ten past twelve’
There are a couple missing, Sparrow and Skype, I removed Divvy and replaced with Moom, replaced Grooveshark with Radium, and went back from Evernote to Notational Velocity.

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.
