My OS X Setup

I recently bought a Macbook Air 1.8 GHz i7 with OS X 10.7. I decided to document the exact apps I've installed for my personal use and for others to see what I use.

This list is never complete. It will continue to evolve as I installed stuff for myself and find stuff over time. Recommendations welcome :-)

MAS

All apps are free unless otherwise noted with price paid at time.

• Xcode
• Cloud
• Blackmagic Disk Speed Test
• Geekbench [$9.99]
• Caffeine
• Linkinus [$9.99]
• Twitter

Non-MAS

Some apps here may exist on MAS, but I purchased them previously and continue to use them outside the MAS.
