Skitch - For extremely convenient screenshots and annotations, everyone should install it
Divvy - Window management, useful for 13” screens, but further improvements are needed

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”
