I wrote a small blog post on OS X must-have apps[1] back in 2009, but I realize more or less all but the most obvious (e.g., Chrome) have changed. Now: InsomniaX (like Caffeine.app, but maintained); Bartender; LaunchBar (mostly for clipboard management - easily my favorite manager); iStat Menus; Atom; Tweetbot; Dropbox; and to a lesser extent, iA Writer. (And BowTie for a Last.fm scrobbler, because it's the only one that works with Apple Music) [1]: http://alanhogan.com/starter-mac-apps http://alanhogan.com/starter-mac-apps
