One of the biggest problems that people have when they come to Mac from other platforms, i.e either Linux or Windows, is to know what are the best programs to start by using this. This custom function also works according to our needs. The arrival of the Mac App Store greatly facilitated this work, because it will recommend a selection of free sale, and a Starter Kit. Still, even the application catalog is extensive, it may take some point which may seem complicated to settle. To help a little to the newcomer’s or to complement those already in this world, a brief description is given about the 10 essential applications . Let’s have a look at them:
1. Firstly, the APPZAPER application . It is definitely one of the best applications to uninstall programs on your Mac. In this it just shows a menu of icons of installed applications, where if we choose uninstall, Zap and press the button, a sound will appear like a laser gun. Here, we will not have a trace of that application.
2. The next application is ONYX . It is one of the essential with Shift and also free. With daily use, our Mac gradually becomes something more slow or appropriately not. Thanks to this application, we will return to our Mac’s speed and stability that characterizes it. It cleans cache, repaired permissions, checks the hard disk status, does the automation of maintenance and periodic script. If we do not know very well to touch, it is better to go to the paragraph automation which directly runs without touching any option.
3. Now is the turn of GROWL . Even with the arrival of the new OS, Mountain Lion that already have notifications on Mac, Growl is still in lead, due to its wide range of possibilities regarding the concerned notification settings. If you like to be aware of all notifications, one must definitely try Growl.
4. Now, the turn of the discharges comes i.e. Torrent . A torrent client is very easy to use, and requires no settings and even its downloading goes fine.
Remember that this is a P2P program and sometimes its opening takes a while to connect.
5. For media playback, the better opt VLC . It saves several programs that each can play in a specific format. With VLC, we can play any format of both audio and video features including AVI, MKV, MPEG, 3GP, QuickTime, MP4 and others. Besides, it’s free.
6. Takes all notes wherever you go with Evernote . A great application to synchronize notes with all devices, even with mobile computers. It also lets you to create categories and so have everything well organized.
You can also save web pages and photos, and share your notebooks with the people you want. Its an another great free application.
7. Now coming to the pictures, it’s possible with Skitch . I have to say, Skitch is one of those applications in the App Store that was always well placed.t. It will become an essential if you start working with it, due to its easy handling. A good application, that is easy and freely used and its simplicity lies in editing photos, add text, capturing screens in seconds.
8. Now we have arrived to virtualization with Virtual Box . Possibly, though I hope not, for personal or business needs you need to install another operating system besides Mac OS. But in the case you do not want to partition the disk, with Virtual Box, it was made easy. It is very easy to use, in which you can create a folder within Mac Os and install the operating system of your choice. Being inside a folder in Mac OS, do not modify the boot up process, and you can be with the two operating systems open at once, as if two applications opened. There are several applications of virtualization, but being free, I think it is a very good choice.
9. We’re coming to the end and turn point, an office suite . I choose the Apple iWork suite . This consists of Pages, Numbers and Keynote which has the same, word processing, spreadsheets and presentations. The good thing is that it integrates perfectly with iOS devices. And with iCloud, you can carry the documents on all your devices.
10. Finally, and not least important, PARAGON NTFS . Having more than one application is a plugin for Mac, which allows us to work with our hard drives formatted in NTFS and erase and write to them. It makes esay to save something on your removable hard disk.
