My OS X Setup

I recently bought a Macbook Air 1.8 GHz i7 with OS X 10.7. I decided to document the exact apps I've installed for my personal use and for others to see what I use.

This list is never complete. It will continue to evolve as I installed stuff for myself and find stuff over time. Recommendations welcome :-)

MAS

All apps are free unless otherwise noted with price paid at time.

  • Xcode
  • Cloud
  • Blackmagic Disk Speed Test
  • Geekbench [$9.99]
  • Caffeine
  • Linkinus [$9.99]
  • Twitter

Homebrew

brew install python postgresql wget gist git

I used the names from the MAS. Cloud is http://getcloudapp.com/. Disk Speed Test does work on SSD.

iTerm is pretty cool FYI. I didn't know about gist, that could be useful.

I used iTerm2 on SL because it had some slight improvements over Terminal. However, Lion's Terminal has resolved the tiny things and is enough for me to simply just use it over iTerm going forward.
