What's in my menubar?
Seems like every time another Mac user looks over my shoulder, they freak out over the number of little icons I have up in my menubar. And – like all Mac geeks – we have to immediately start trading information, learning tricks, and sharing tips. I’m sure you know the drill by now.
If you were looking over my shoulder right now (and I hope that you are not) here’s the stuff you’d see in my menubar.
The larger version on the Flickr will, where appropriate, let you mouseover for the name and a link, but I’ll save you the trouble of a click by repeating the links below.
- Adium - excellent IM app
- Skitch - Beta of a mind-blowing screen capture app
- Twitterrific - Gives me my Twitter crack
- iScrobbler - Relays my “now playing” info to Last.fm
- quicksilver - Duh. It’s Quicksilver
- Spirited Away - Handy app that hides non-active apps. As seen in my MacBreak demo. Would benefit from an update to Universal Binary
- ChronoSync - Very cool app for keeping two folders synced
- Growl - Notifications out the booty (personally, I like “Music Video” style notifications)
- SynergyKM - App to let you share a keyboard and mouse between multiple computers. Haven’t gotten it working yet, but I plan to.
- Remote Desktop - Control one Mac from another Mac.
- Apple .Mac Sync - Almost-saving grace of the overpriced and underpowered .Mac suite is automatic syncing of iCal, Mail, contacts, etc.
- SoundSource - Free app for changing sound inputs and outputs (highly recommended for musicians and podcasters)
- Spotlight - It’s a piece of crap, but it’s our piece of crap. I tend to use the Quicksilver plug-in more often.
