In the spirit of yesterday’s post, I’m going to list out what I use every day in terms of software. This isn’t exhaustive but it’s pretty darn close.

General Utilities

1Password – Probably the best password manager out there combined with mobile apps
Cloudup – quick way to share images, videos, text (ask me for a referral code)
Coffitivity – coffeehouse sounds to help boost productivity
Cyberduck – SFTP client
DaisyDisk – finding where all my space has gone
Dropbox
Evernote – where I keep my larger notes, graphics, PDF files
Parallels Desktop – for the occasional booting of old Mac OS & Windows VMs
Radium – menu bar radio streaming
Rdio – monthly subscription-based song streaming
RescueTime – track my app usage to determine if I’m distracted
Simplenote – for my quick note taking needs
Skype – sadly yes
Slack – communication for our team – web socket-based system like HipChat but better

Graphics

Adobe Photoshop CC – go-to app for image editing
Aperture (more for personal use)
Balsamiq Mockups – easy mockups
Bartender – organize your menu bar extras area
Camtasia 2 – screen casts
Color Picker
Join.me – easy screen sharing – I use it more for helping people fix computer problems remotely
Pixelmator
SnagIt

Base – for digging around SQLite files; especially handy debugging Core Data
Charles – proxying application for testing remote calls
HockeyApp – binary distribution for testing
Kaleidoscope – arguably the most beautiful diff tool – ignore whitespace is still not a feature 🙁
PHPStorm – for when I have to get into WordPress and WordPress.com API coding
TextMate – Still my favorite text editor
Textual – Mac IRC client

AppCode – alternative IDE for Objective-C – I switch between Xcode and here for specific reasons (future post?)
iExplorer – could not live without the ability to dig around device filesystems
PaintCode – easiest way to get Core Graphics code from images or hand-drawn UI elements
Reflector – transmit your iOS device screen to your computer for recording
Spark Inspector – interactively debug your UIView layers & NSNotificationCenter calls
Xcode
xScope – helpful UI tools for your Mac
