2 ) Hazel – automate tasks, reduce clutter – increase productivity.

My favorite app left off is Info.xhead which allow you to store passwords, serial #’s, credit card info, etc. encrypted. You can create whatever categories you want. I use this pretty much every day.

I love Default Folder for keeping track of endless folders, and Launchbar for my launcher of choice. It has the best search results and the most power, IMHO.

What a pity that most of the comments here are mere spam.
Anyway, I followed all the links in the article and noticed that only a few of the applications are free:
FreeMind
Desktopple (donationware)
FreeDMG
Terminal Pal
I am really surprised that the author of the article chose the exactly these applications. I am sure that there are many more productivity increasing apps that are at least as good. Michael, why these?!

Quicksilver is free. It’s easy to set up, and with a bit of extra configuring it’s the BEST multi-clipboard utility I’ve ever used.

I really like Freemind, and the way it works, but what I’d really like is a web version of it, not necessarily working in the same way, but something that does the same job, something that will let me get my ideas down ijn something other than a tabular form that a text editor gives.
Is there anything like this out there?
