I always enjoy seeing a list of programs that people recommend, and there are quite a few on here that I use myself as well as some that I will need to check out. In addition, there are a few noteworthy Mac apps that I would also recommend:
- Quicksilver - Similar to Alfred and Spotlight, Quicksilver is a free application that allows you to perform application functions with keybindings. I also use it to easily use search engines and create custom keybindings. It's beginning to show its age, but it's a great free alternative and still has an active plug-in scene.
- OpenEmu - Easily the best video game emulator suite I've ever seen. A clean interface, very easy to view and manage your games and installed emulator cores. I find competing products like Retroarch to be a nightmare in terms of UI, OpenEmu simply feels clean and easy to use.
- MacVim - A GUI Vim editor. Combines the versatility of Vim in a modern Mac application.
- Quiver - A note-taking app, similar to Evernote. However, Quiver also supports note taking in both Markdown and LaTeX, which I find very useful. There is also a phone app, and can sync notes via Dropbox between them.
- Aseprite - Drawing software focused on creating pixel art.
- PICO-8 - Create retro-inspired games in Lua.
There's also a number of more well-known applications that I would recommend, but are probably famous enough that I don't need to go into detail, such as Firefox, F.lux, and GIMP.
