I've been trying to be good about saving my pennies, but I must admit that I've still purchased a couple pieces of Mac software recently...
ShoveBox
I finally bought this great notes app. I'm very picky about my note applications. The simpler, the better. I think I will always be a Notational girl at heart. I can really write a whole post on different Mac note apps. To make a very long rant short, ShoveBox is overall a very very nice notes app. Its clean, stays in the menubar, supports hot keys, and has a fun "quickjot" function for taking quick notes. It also has a very promising beta iPhone app for syncing.
Fontcase
Easily the nicest looking and one of the must useful Mac font management applications out there. I am not the biggest typophile out there, I tend to stick to a few favorite favorite fonts, but I still find it to be a crazy useful app. It also feels very lightweight to me compared to the other font management apps I've tried in the past. If you ever use anything other than Times New Roman or do anything with design, Fontcase is a must-have.
LittleSnapper
I really didn't want to like LittleSnapper. But over time it grew on me and now I can't live without it. I don't use the website they provide for posting snapshots, but I did (to spite myself) fall in love with the app's concept itself. its very freeing to never have to organize screenshots of all kinds and to no longer have tons of random screenshots sitting on the desktop. Now they're all in one place automatically as soon as they're taken. Once you get used to the workflow you won't look back.
