Recommended Mac Applications?

Hi, I have just moved to the Mac side by ordering my first Mac, a Mac Mini :) I am asking for Mac Apps you recommend, and why you are recommending them. A brief description of what they do would be good to. Paid and Free apps are welcome to me but I will need to do a bit more saving for Paid apps. Macs are expencive! But you get what you pay for :D

iCleanMemory- Its .99 cents i think but it adds Used and Free numbers on the top bar to show how much ram you are using and how much is free. The OS decides what gets what but its nice to know how much you are using, you could also force clean your ram if you need too!

All the other apps i've either disabled or uninstalled

0	Camouflage. (I think it was $1.99). If you like to have a clean desktop, buy this. It makes the desktop icons "Disappear." answered Sep 08 '11 at 16:01 Justin 8.4k●104●143●222
