Lifehacker - Lifehacker Pack 2009: Our List of Essential Free Ma
We've featured countless apps of all sorts over the years, but if you just want a quick look at the best free downloads for your Mac, this post's for you. This is the 2009 Lifehacker Pack for Mac OS X. Like our 2009 Lifehacker Pack for Windows (and its predecessor ), the Mac version has the same goal in mind: to provide Mac lovers with a single, handy list of the best free applications that you're likely to use on a regular basis. Note: You can head directly to each application's download page from the [Download] links and see what we originally wrote about them at the [LH Post] link. Smultron : Whether you like the distraction-free environment of a plain text editor or you like to fire up a powerful environment where you can churn out some serious code, you can't go wrong with the open-soruce Smultron.
Jumpcut is an application that provides "clipboard buffering" — that is, access to text that you've cut or copied, even if you've subsequently cut or copied something else. The goal of Jumpcut's interface is to provide quick, natural, intuitive access to your clipboard's history. The current version of Jumpcut, Jumpcut 0.63 , is a Universal Binary that requires OS X 10.3.9 or later. Users running earlier versions of OS X should try Jumpcut 0.54 , which should work with OS X 10.1 and later. Jumpcut is designed to be simple. Download the application, double-click the .tgz file to open it, and drag the application (the one with the pretty scissors icon) to your Applications directory.

Skitch.com + Skitch = fast and fun screen capture and image shar
Skitch opens up a small app that shows the screenshot and allows you to manipulate it in a variety of ways: resize, rotate, annotate, etc. It’s ridiculously easy and lightweight, yet incredibly robust (in terms of quality of functionality, not necessarily breadth of functionality — it’s no Photoshop). It might be the most fluid annotation software I’ve ever seen. When I am editing photos or album layouts with a detail-oriented client, Skitch is invaluable.
ShoveBox | Wonder Warp Software
ShoveBox catches all those little scraps of information that you can't act on now but would rather not forget. It sits up in your menubar, waiting for you to drag in text, images, URLs, and more. It also provides a sensible interface to sort everything you shoved. It's all about spending less time processing and more time actually working on the things that matter.
Jotter is simple and to the point note taking. No overcomplicated interfaces. No unnecessary features.

"But if, when it comes right down to it, full screen is your holy grail, and the ultimate antidote to the bric-a-brac of Word, then you must enter the WriteRoom, the ultimate spartan writing utopia." — Virginia Heffernan, New York Times "Unlike practically everything else in our digital lives, WriteRoom's minimalist interface implies a truly flattering proposition: It's you, not the software, that matters." — Jeffrey MacIntyre, Slate "Green text on a blank, black screen, with a square, blinking cursor. This was how most of us wrote on a computer in the early 1980s, and it's resurfacing a quarter of a century later."
