Cool Mac Software
Tuesday, November 13, 2007
One of the things that has impressed me most about using a Mac is the large amount of very high quality free and opensource programs available for the platform. Unlike with Windows, where most programs are junk, or otherwise useless, it seems that the Mac community is a lot pickier about the software they use. In celebration of what appears to be a time honored fashion, I am now going to list a few really great pieces of free software for the Mac that have been quite useful to me.Cyberduck - Powerful FTP Client
Handbrake - DVD Ripping Tool
Max - Audio Format Conversion Tool
Bean - Simple Word Processor
Smultron - Fast Text Editor with Syntax Highlighting
Vienna - RSS Reader...Until I get Leopard Mail
Writeroom 1.0 - Distraction Free Writing, for Free. The newer versions are not free. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find version 1.
CocoaMySQL - MySQL Database Manager
Schoolhouse - Invaluable homework manager
