Top 100 Mac Apps
I’ve compiled a list of my top 100 Mac apps for your perusal, since so many people have been asking for it. Thanks to Taylor Olson and Jason for helping me put all the icons and links in place! These apps are certainly Tiger compatible, and most of ‘em work inside Leopard (though the VNC utilities are now unnecessary). I did my best to avoid overly popular titles, but couldn’t avoid it in some cases.
A rolling list of ‘Honorable Mentions’ follow the Top 100, so… keep reading. ;) Only one application is missing.
I’m also happy to announce that both VMware and Shiny White Box are coming aboard as official video sponsors - but their presence in this list is based on app merit. It’s my hope to find exclusive coupons and pricing for any of the following commercial applications… or any commercial Mac app, for tha tmatter. Stay tuned!
Which apps did I miss - especially for Windows switchers? ;)

Chris, sorry but I have to say this is a profoundly unhelpful post. In most cases the name and icon don’t even give me a clue what kind of app it is. So to learn about your whole list, I have to click 100 links. Some of those clicks take me to landing pages which in turn don’t offer me a clue. (e.g. ACP Suite. What does that landing page teach about what the software does? Or even that it’s software–I’m taking *your* word for that.)
This is one of those cases which demonstrate that the random-access web is a little over-sold, where taxonomies and organizing principles really help. The top-100 lists I’ve gotten a lot of benefit from have all been those that group their objects in some way. That way I can learn about a cool new backup utility by knowing I’m about to look at a backup utility, not by clicking 100 links which to me are random, in hopes I’ll find something of interest.
Still, my hat’s off to you, knowing how much work these lists are to compile.
Best,
Max

Thanks, a nice list.
Is any of those a file manager like Midnight Commander for Linux or FAR Manager for Windows? Wikipedia Mac apps list misses this category altogether but I find it one of the most essential tools.
Tried a cross-platform muCommander, but seems like in this category a native application is preferable. It did freeze as soon as I tried to do file transfer via SCP. Not good.

Chris,
Wow! Nice list!
I should probably take another look at Butler; I’ve been using LaunchBar for years and grew used to it - I do think it’s excellent. I am a huge fan of Peter Maurer, and rely heavily on Witch and Desktop Curtain. Yesterday I moved from Cyberduck to FileZilla, which is more complex but gives you a broader navigation experience. BTW, Onyx - which is great - is not yet certified for Leopard. iStat menus looks awesome. I use iStat Pro. Looks like they’ve developed a lot of cool new apps.
Great job. Looks like a lot of new items to check out!

This was a really great list of apps… Though some of these were PPC only, I found SEVERAL applications I didn’t know about and have been searching for as a solution to various annoyances. Thanks :D

I know that all lists like this are subjective, but I’ll offer my take in on a couple of apps. You include both Butler and Quicksilver, but omit LaunchBar. I know the first two are free, but after extensively time with all three, LaunchBar was clearly better for MY needs, and well worth the modest registration fee.
I am surprised at the omission of TextMate, one of the reasons I switch to the Mac from Linux.
ffmpegX has got to be one the most frustrating apps I’ve ever used. It works fine for awhile, then suddenly stops working. I uninstall all the pieces, re-install, and again it works for awhile, always with the same error message. Many other users report the same error, but no solution ever offered by the authors.
There are many apps on the list that are totally unfamiliar and I am looking forward to checking them out. Thanks for putting this list together!

Chris: Which apps did I miss - especially for Windows switchers? ;)
You missed Fugu, a free FTP client. I haven’t done that much with it, but it looks very well-designed and other people I know really like it.
You missed Intego VirusBarrier, which I think is the best antivirus software for OS X.
You missed Seashore, a simpler and more Mac-native version of the Gimp. It’s the best free graphics software available for OS X that I’ve seen. This is important for switchers because it seems to be really hard to find any free graphics-editing software for Macs—the OS doesn’t even ship with something like MacPaint or MSPaint.
You missed OmniGraffle, which I’ve only used once (at school) because it costs money, but which is a very nice mindmapping program (like Microsoft Visio). Freemind (cross-platform) is a free alternative, but it has the worst user interface of any program I’ve ever used, so it’s not much of an alternative.
Also, I won’t say you missed Vienna (RSS reader), because it probably doesn’t deserve to be on this list, but I like it. So there.

Instead of using Teleport, I prefer Synergy because it works with Windows as well. So I from my Macbook, I can control my Mac Mini and my PC with only one keyboard and one mouse.
That’s probably one of the most amazing softwares I’ve ever found.

G’day. Connect360 is worth mentioning too… it allows your mac to share files with an Xbox 360 on the network.. that being everything in your iTunes (podcasts, music, purchased tunes (except DRM tracks..) iPhoto and Movie folder. Very neat software… worked well until I upgraded to Leopard. I’m waiting for an update now :-P

TextMate is a definite requirement for this list. As far as web-developers go, I don’t think there is any one single app other than TextMate that has caused users to switch from Windows. (blog.macromates.com/2007/buy-a-mac-get-textmate/)

Is this supposed to be a list of the best cheap or free apps? I’m a little put off by any “top” Mac application list that omits everything from Omni (for at least OmniOutliner and OmniGraffle) or Panic (Coda, Transmit). Maybe if you “did [your] best to avoid overly popular titles” it’d be better titled as a “top 100 lesser known” mac apps list?

- Productivity (working offline, photoshop, etc)
- Connection - Internet
- games
- small apps (Dashboard, widgets, etc)
- etc
And also, evaluate or rate each app?

Great list. What is even cooler is the talk it provokes. You always learn about new programs from the list, but about others who comment on it. Everyone has their own preferences in habit.
I, for instance, love Butler because it is free and allows me to emulate the Menu where my mouse is idea from MAYA. That is me. But I see things in QuickSilver and Launchbar that are nice to. In the end it helps everyone keep an eye on what our options are. That is the best.
Thanks for the time you put into it Chris,
Thanks everyone else for your comments.

Great list Chris. I am always impressed with what you find. I kinda did the same thing on my site. Although, It is a mix of software for a variety of platforms.. Mostly FOSS. I am not linking it in this post though, this is your show and I am not a spammer :) I did leave the link in the URL box above if you want to check it out.

Please look at Zooom ( http://coderage-software.com/zooom/)
Zooom allows you to set up keyboard shortcuts for moving and resizing any window from any place in the window.
There is no need to go to the title bar with the cursor to move the window or to the bottom right corner of the window to resize the window. Both can be done from any where in the window.

The people who like OmniGraffle clearly are better artists than I am–not hard, to be sure. What I am looking at is a replacement for MacDraw–simple, decent interface, easy to use. Color would be nice but not necessary.

Firefox - The only browser that matters. ‘Nuff said.

Nice and interesting list indeed, as are (most of) the comments.
A couple of omissions if you ask me though :)
1) BBEdit: the best editor there is IMO (offers an educational discount too)
2) Script debugger: Sublime applescripting tool (but pricy)
3) Omniweb: Featurerich web browser.
4) Thoth: my preferred usenet reader (not being developed anymore though)
5) Path finder: like Finder but better.
6) Devonthink: information management system.
7) JournalX: like above but cheaper (doesn’t have applescripting support though)
8) MS Office 2008 :)

The game is merely a medium through which you play against the other player. Some players develop skills in planning, while others develop theirRolex Replica at improvisation Replica Rolexadapting to any situation they are thrown into.

I’m amazed to not see Kismac here. The development has fallen behind a little since the German government made any and all security research illegal, but it is still an excellent tool and definitely the most powerful wireless scanning/security tool out there.
I find iStat Menus to be much more powerful and customisable compared to MenuMeters.
Vienna is my RSS reader of choice so far.
XSlimmer definitely gets a nod too, the amount of space you can shave off of some applications is amazing.

This is a great list, Chris. I just bought my first Mac (well, technically my second, but the first one was for my daughter–this one’s for me). I’ve added this page to my del.icio.us bookmarks for reference later.
I only have two suggestions. First, 100 apps is an awful lot. What would you consider the top 10 or maybe 20 essential apps. What would you install first?
Second, to make it easier to sort through the 100, a little more description to go with each app would be nice.
Still, it’s a great list and this will save me a lot of time. Thanks!

[...] reply to this post email it rate flag well….. < tenderloin > 10/22 19:40:15 I don’t see how re-learning a different OS can be too much to deal with unless you’re in the middle of a business time constriction, but the main thing I would be concerned about in that case is how to get your actual data from Vista to the OS of a Mac.. I haven’t really found any cons with a Mac, mostly just my own stupidity. There are trolls here, but 10 times less of them than in the CPU forum. Ha! GOOD SOFTWARE??? I’ll tip you off just right with something i should have found a year ago! http://chris.pirillo.com/2007/11/06/top-100-mac-apps/http://toronto.en.craigslist.org/forums/?ID=105607807 [...]

I wrote up a similar list, but I wanted to focus only on FREE apps, that were mac-only.

Check it out for detailed descriptions of each app, along with screenshots of them running.

Your page takes too long to scroll through. Keep in mind some of us are running Vista on slow dual core computers with only 2 GB of RAM.
Have some pity on us.

What about iCompta (angeman7.free.fr/?language=en) ? It’s a free personal finance application. There is also an iPhone / iPod Touch version which can be synchronized very esaily with the desktop version.

The description is in Spanish but you can translate it with Google. Anyway you can see the app names with their logo.
