~pcwiz Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Just wanted a start a thread for fun on your favourite OS X freeware. Has to be freeware or donationware, but it can even be shareware that doesn't limit functionality, just maybe a nag screen. Here are my favourites that I install on any new system: Seashore Lightweight image editor that just gets the job done Pacifist Package extractor/opener. Can't live without it when you are on a hackintosh VLC Media Player Plays any video or audio format and its free The Unarchiver Handles most common archive formats and a good alternative to Stuffit Kext Helper One of my "new" favorites. Easiest way ever to install kexts Transmission The best BitTorrent client for OS X period. What are yours?

~pcwiz Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 vaporATX, Quite by coincidence I started using Smultron today and all I can say is WOW. It has syntax for virtually every computer language ever invented. Excellent app. Nice lists everyone I'm sure these lists will give a starting point for OS X noobs.
