Useful software (add-ons) for OSX?

[fotuwe]

Hi there!

Although Ive been using OSX for quite a long time I only have a few additional (small) application that somehow add functionality, optics (or whatever) ...

I believe it is difficult to get well known as a small company that often create amazing pieces of software... so, what add-ons re u using? I dont mean additional application like Office or the Adobe Suite?

Maybe to start of:

- Better Touch Tool - window snapping
- hostr - fast image sharing
- caffein - disable sleep mode
- beamer - stream every video you want on apple tv

I'd recommend Flux, which helps using your Mac at night.

I'd also recommend gfxcardstatus if you have a 15" rMBP with a discrete GPU.
