Great apps and utilities for the Mac
Pixelmator
Pixelmator is one of my favorite Mac apps. For someone
interested in design and editing but without the need for an expensive app like
Photoshop, it’s an incredible buy for $30. Best of all, it’s constantly being
updated and picking up new features.
iA Writer / Byword
If you’ve got a brand new Mac, you can download your free
copy of Pages from the Mac App Store, but for simple text writing it can be a
bit overkill. Your Mac ships with a free, simple text editor called… TextEdit…
but it doesn’t sync your writing to iPhone or iPad, just other Macs. Two great
options with iOS apps include iA Writerand Byword (pictured below). iA Writer has a cool focus
mode that highlights in on the exact line you’re writing, and Byword offers a
variety of theme and font combinations that I enjoy. Both are available in the
Mac App Store for $9.99 so take your pick and find them on iPhone and iPad as
well.
Day One
Day One is a cool journaling app for Mac. What better way to
write about how excited you are about your new Mac? You can drop in photos,
write in full-screen mode, and most importantly secure it with a passcode. It’s
a very well designed digital journal, and if you ever wanted to export your
entries, you can do that too. Day One syncs with iCloud or Dropbox to make sure
you’re data is backed up, and that also means it stays up-to-date with Day One
for iPhone and iPad. You can download Day One for Mac on sale
for $7.99 on the Mac App Store.
Mactracker
Mactracker is a free app and very useful for referencing
specs on any Apple product you could imagine. It’s both a terrific way to keep
up with the warranty status of your Apple products and a fun way to browse the
history of Apple products. Check it out for free from the Mac App Store.
