Dropbox: A really important service for my study, but also for my personal use. I love the possibility of sharing folders to colleagues or friends. A must have app for me…
Delibar: This is a menubar client to organize and use your Delicious or Pinboard bookmarks - in combination with the Safari extension it’s a killer-app! Love it!
Sparrow: A lightweight Gmail-client. It fits my needs perfectly.
: I think everyone knows it…
CoverSutra: Great iTunes controller which gives you the ability to search your entire music library over a Spotlight-like searchbar, displays album-artwork on your desktop, it also offers really nice iTunes player controls and more…
: Don’t know why this app still has a place in my menubar… horrible weather-forecast, but at least it looks nice… ;)
: Gives you the possibility to bookmark webpages and open it via the menubar icon…. I abuse it as a “perhaps I will read it later” button…
: Altough it’s a bit expensive, I really love this little helper in my menubar - it detached Date-Line from my desktop.
Transmit: FTP client of my choice. Great UI, great functionality!
Slim Battery Monitor: Nomen est omen.
DropIn: The best extension you can get for Dropbox, adds some really nice & useful gimmicks.
Screens: Mac Client for Screens to control your Mac with your iPhone / iPad.
Facebook: Hopefully Google+ will eliminate it from my menubar…
Radium: A menubar radio player that exactly does what it promises. Has a huge selection of radio stations included.

- 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.

(From Blake Embrey)
Typinator - Program that saves me hours a day. Used to create reusable text snippets

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”

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

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.
