The Top 5 Mac Apps of 2008

A (very) short list of my favorite mac applications of the year...



  • Dropbox -
    Dropbox might just be the best and most original idea of the year. File sharing and file syncronization became simple and speedy. Enough said.





  • Bowtie -
    Easily the best, simplest, and most affordable iTunes accessory ever. You can read my quick review here.





  • LaunchBar 5 Beta -
    Years ago before Quicksilver I used LaunchBar. Well, LaunchBar has come back in a big way. Its incredibly quick and smooth. Once you try it, you won't be able to use anything else. Its that good. It just really needs a way to customize its appearance and perhaps a way to add Del.icio.us bookmarks.





  • Eventbox -
    Eventbox is a great concept with a great design. It still needs some development, though. But its really has awesome potential... and the guys who make it are open to ideas, which is the best part.





  • Flow -
    The fact is that Transmit by Panic is still a great and reliable Mac FTP app. No question. However Flow attempts to be a bit different. I have to say I was weary of switching from Transmit, but I have really grown to enjoy using Flow.
