All the software and apps in my Mac – a reminder for when I need to rebuild it from scratch.
Essentials

Little Snitch

Traffic filtering utility. Version 2 comes with a very useful network monitor. Excellent little app.

~/.bash_profile

I like my shell prompt to take over the whole line, and read like this:
export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/bin/ant
export PATH=${ANT_HOME}/bin:$PATH
export PS1="
\h>>\u>>\$PWD
[\d \A]$"

~/Library/Application Support
~/Library/Preferences
~/Library/Keychains

Copy these over before installing all the apps.

Apache Ant
~/Documents/ant/

I use ant as a generic backup and system tool, as well as for development. To install:

sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin/ant
sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/apache-ant-1.7.1/bin /usr/local/bin/ant/
sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/apache-ant-1.7.1/lib /usr/local/bin/ant/

Also copy all the Utility scripts.

GyazMail

The mail software I use instead of Mail, because of its better filtering rules.

Toast Titanium

Still got a few bits and pieces saved as Toast images, so this is essential.

StuffIt Deluxe

Easier than using the command line all the time.

UnRAR

Stuffit only unpacks one file at the time. For batch unpacking of rar files, I use this shell tool, normally like this:
find . -name "*.rar" -exec unrar x -y -ad {} \;

Eclipse, including the plugins FDT and PHPEclipse

Essential

BareBones BBedit

Too expensive for what it is (a text editor for coding), but the version I got does a good job (particularly useful for dealing with tricky text-encodings and batch batch searches) and I’m used to it.

CyberDuck

Nifty little FTP client.

Renamer4Mac

Utility for batch renaming of files, saves having to dick around with Perl scripts. I’ve stick to my old freeware copy, it does the job just as well.

MAMP

Marc Liyanage seems to have given up on distributing Mac PHP packages for free. And fair enough, he’s been doing it for years, you’d think by now Apple would have sorted it out and included PHP with OSX. Luckily, a German company called Living-E has stepped in, providing an idiot proof package with PHP, mySql and even a widget to stop and start the server. Haven’t played much with it, but it looks impressive.

/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf

Once MAMP is installed, get the local servers setup.

~/Library/Preferences

Miro

Internet podcast / youtube viewer. I can’t believe I used to watch TV

/localhost.sql

Adobe Creative Suite

Other apps

Address Book contacts

Parallels Desktop

For testing and .NET + Silverlight coding (not that I do much of it these days)

iTunes library

Handbrake

For messing about with video

Open Office

In its own way, just as annoying as MS Office, at least it’s free.

Mozilla Firefox, Opera

Mantis

Skype

MSN Messenger

OmniGraffle

OmniOutliner

Remote Desktop connection

xchm

Tomato Torrent
