Mac Apps i’m Using

Here are some of the newest Apps i’ve loaded onto my Macbook Pro, remember i’m too cheap to pay for these so they are FREE, ( i love that word )

All of these apps are not on my home computer, this is what i’m using as a Professional Photographer On Location with a Laptop, sending photos LIVE

1. Anxiety
Developer: Tom Stoelwinder
www.anxietyapp.com
Cost: Free
Requirements: OS 10.5

Interface of Anxiety software

Anxiety takes the dread out of task management with its smart design.

This clever task manager single-handedly converted us to using the task functions in iCal and Apple Mail. How? By keeping our to-do lists in front of us at all times. Anxiety plugs in to the task databases behind Mail and iCal, even when those apps aren’t running. Anxiety’s small translucent window respects your desktop space with a minimalist list of unfinished tasks—and nothing else. To add a new task, you press Enter, type a description, and press Enter again. Checked items immediately disappear from view.

Our primary complaint with this app is the way it handles due dates: We wish it were done within Anxiety itself, instead of within iCal or Mail, and it would be nice to have the option to let finished tasks remain, crossed out, in the window. But these are minor quibbles. Anxiety triples the convenience of OS 10.5’s task features, and it does it for free.

Caffeine

Caffeine is a tiny program that puts an icon in the right side of your menu bar. Click it to prevent your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting screen savers. Click it again to go back. Hold down the Command key while clicking to show the menu.
