This post has been a long time in the making. As many of you know, I love my Mac and all the apps I use on it are just as amazing. Since I am in the creative field, I didn’t want to focus on the typical apps that I figured were a given (i.e. Adobe products), but focus on some of the great simple apps for the Mac desktop that I use every day. This is just the ones that I thought of off the top of my head. There are plenty more but at 10, this podcast was long enough! Don’t you love how I say the number 5 twice? haha, what a dork! ok, Here’s the list:

• TextExpander
• Things
• Suitcase Fusion
• Last.fm
• Mailplane
• Tweetie Desktop
• TextMate
• Dropbox
• GrabUp
• Transmit

NOTE: I have been informed that GrabUp isn’t playing too nice with Snow Leopard so honorable mention goes to TinyGrab for nearly the same simple functions as GrabUp.
