We’ve just had a quick ask around the office on the five apps that we couldn’t do without on our Macs…
There’s a clear pattern emerging here… Can you tell that we’re a development house?
Tom:
- Git!
- Redis
- Mongo
- HomeBrew
- Echofon
Christos:
- Dropbox – to sync with my laptop at home, I think this is the only app that I would feel frustrated if I did not have at work.
- Console – not really an app(?), but this is my preferred way of doing over half of the things I can do on a mac.
- Spotlight – my preferred way of opening applications and finding files
- Textmate – my preferred generic text editor
- Firefox (& firebug) – my preferred browser
Dale:
- Chrome for browsing
- Twitter for mac for keeping current
- Photoshop for making nice things
- LittleSnapper for gathering inspiration from the internet
- Coda for coding
Chris:
- MacVim
- GitX
- QuickSilver (or since today, Alfred)
- Dropbox
- Echofon
Sarah B:
- Echofon
- Screenflow (I can live without but I think it is really really good!)
- Dropbox
- iTunes
- iPhoto
Mark:
- Twitter (was Echofon)
- Perian
- Dropbox
- Unison
- Textmate
