Useful free Mac apps

I’m a relatively new Mac user so I’m keeping a list of some useful free apps that I’m using on my Mac. It’s a work in progress…

  • Instant Messaging : Adium
  • PDF Annotation : Skim
  • Notes taking : Freemind
  • Linux package manager : Macports (lots of my friends use fink)
  • EquationService : Create equations from latex that can be used in Keynote
  • MacFUSE : MacFUSE is software that allows you to write arbitrary file systems as user-space programs
  • Creative MP3 Player support : XNJB
  • OSX Ext2 Filesystem
  • Switch : Audio file converter
  • Cyberduck : SFTP/FTP
  • Espérance DV : Create a ramdisk

I LOVE alfred, Adium,GIMP, evernote and dropbox. They are really my basic needs. But, I truly like rest of your suggestions and reviews about them are quite impressive. Would love to try them out.
