This list was originally created so that I could keep tabs on which Mac apps I need and use the most. I upgrade computers a lot and often find myself trying to remember which apps I need to install on each new machine.
In making this list I realized that some of the apps I use the most might also be ones that other Apple owners weren’t aware of and could benefit from as well.

So, here is my list of essential Mac applications that I cannot live, or work, without. Feel free to recommend your favorite apps by leaving a comment below.
