Best Apple Tweaks and Apps
Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2014 12:15 am
After alot of messing about, I finally decided to just go with the devil I know and buy an iMac (been working on Apple Computers since I was 7) since I needed a workstation and am tired of the "mobile lifestyle".
I don't particularly like iOS or their mobile products but after trying different versions of Windows and Linux, knew it was the best choice for a Desktop OS due to already knowing the OS very well and really liked some Linux Distros but all the software I thought kinda sucked.
Anyways, since I'm excited to have such a big screen I'm looking to setup my spaces so that I can have one app on each side. Anyone know a good app for this?
And here is a list of stuff I know that is good, because I've used it all for a long time:
AppZapper - removes all the files that have to do with an application, cleaner than just uninstalling apps
Coconut Battery - for my laptop tells you what condition the battery is in
iPartition - for partitioning HDs
iStumbler - for seeing more advanced information about WIFI networks
Mactracker - to view specs on every apple device ever made
namebench - tests the power of your computer
OnyX - a utility to cleanup and repair your mac
Coda - I like the interface to use for FTP
Sublime Text 2 - the best code editor ever...
Billings - great if your a freelance billing clients
CrashPlan - internet backup service
MAMP - installs a local server on your Macbook
MxPlayer - like VLC but I think I like it better
WriteRoom - distraction free writing mode
These apps I seem to always need at some point, any that you can turn me onto? Do you know a good app that does split screen well (like Windows Snap to or whatever it is)?
