Really Useful Apps for My Mac

I keep coming across really neat and useful apps for Mac. I thought I would list them here with a brief description.  You might find them useful. If you know of an app that you think is really useful but don't see it here, email me
Yojimbo
This is one neat little application. When I used Windoze I found OneNote to be a remarkably useful program, although a bit bloated.  The things that I missed about OneNote was the ability to do screen shots from websites and stuff to save for later use. As well, the ability to make notes related to different topics. Yojimbo, from barebones software (http://www.barebones.com) fills that need, plus a whole lot more. It does not suffer from the same kind of bloat that OneNote has fallen prey to. Instead, it does all sorts of really useful things really well.  It retails for $39 (and that license allows installation on multiple computers for use by a single user).  In my case that turns out to be really useful, along with its ability to sync through MobileMe.  I have an iMac at work and one at home. I also have a MacBook Pro that travels with me.  The sync feature means that all three computers have the same information always.  Definitely a bargain at $39.
