嗯,你能在假期裡得到一臺新電腦真是太幸運了!新的蘋果電腦配備了寫作、圖片編輯和音樂創作工具的合理組合——當然,你會想要抓取Skype、Twitter和GrabBox等基本工具——但我們決定列出一個應用程式、工具和實用程式的列表,我們總是在新的安裝中使用它們。而且這些也不僅僅是為新電腦準備的。當你在家裡玩技術支援和清理家裡的機器時,安裝一對這樣的機器,並指導家裡人如何使用它們。
Bring the glories of the command line — and the ability to search the web from any app — back to your Mac with the free Alfred launcher (additional features come with the £15 Powerpack). Push the mouse aside and embrace your keyboard for quick access to everything from Google and Wikipedia searches to a deep Clipboard history and keyboard shortcuts. Once you get used to Alfred, you'll never be able to work without it again.
While Mountain Lion now has built-in notificati*** via Notification Center, the $3.99 Growl is still the gold standard for desktop notificati***. Plug in Dropbox, Adium, Twitter, Google reader, and countless other apps to Growl to get live-updating, customizable, pop-up notificati*** in the screen corner of your choosing. Let the notificati*** wash over you! It might not be the best for staying fully focused, but how else are you going to get alerts to a new Maru video?
It’s hard to imagine going back to a pre-Dropbox and SkyDrive world. The free versi*** of the cloud-based backup service offer 2GB and 7GB of storage, respectively, which makes moving files between computers, friends, and coworkers far easier than dragging down email with endless attachments. Plus, many apps work directly with Dropbox, which makes syncing your stuff across multiple computers and mobile devices a breeze.
Check out a streaming music service — both Rdio and Spotify offer free trials as well as mobile apps (the latter available with subscripti***). You could set up your old hard drive and drag over all of your tunes, or you could get up and running immediately with either of these apps.
Ah, the to-do list. There are thousands of opti*** out there, but Wunderlist’s not a bad place to start. It's simple and easy to use, and the latest 2.0 update brings an even better version of the app to iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and even on the web. While it might not have some of the fancier features of apps like Things and Remember the Milk, its cross-platform compatibility and a very nice price of free are tough to beat.
Sure, you could drop hundreds of dollars on Adobe’s Photoshop, but face it — you’re only using it for lasso’ing your friends onto corgi pictures or make quick post-processing tweaks on photos. Save the money and grab the full-featured Acorn image editor for just $49.99. (Or, get an older, slightly more limited version for free.)
Safari’s a fine browser, but there’s nothing like Chrome’s speed, rock solid support for Google’s services, and wide variety of plug-in and extensi***.
Even if you’re not insane about saving everything you see online like some of the people on The Verge's staff, Evernote’s a fantastic tool for keeping track of notes, images, recipes, and basically anything else you can think of. It’s free with a healthy monthly upload limit, and rates for upgrading aren’t bad at all.
You could pull a Jonathan Franzen and glue your ethernet port shut in order to avoid the distracti*** of the internet, but that’s a little… drastic. Instead, try out the handy little $10 utility Freedom (you can get a free trial if you want to test it out), which simply cuts off your internet connection for a specified period of time, so you have no choice but to focus. If you have to give in, quitting the app won’t help — a simple guilty restart will revive your much-needed connection.
Once you start using a window manager, it’s impossible to go back. Stay with us here — instead of dragging and resizing windows by hand, the $14.00 Divvy app (free trial available) and its brethren let you define key commands for automatically resizing windows. If you’re scrolling a tiny browser window, just hit a key or two and auto-resize to full-screen, 4/5 of the screen, or even 2/3 of the screen. It’s indispensable for any kind of multitasking.
What’s your usual process for adding things to your calendar? Fire up your calendar app, click new task, toggle with switches and wheels, and submit. With Fantastical, a Mac and iOS calendar app, simply hitting a key command brings up a text field that recognizes natural text input, so typing “Dinner with friends tomorrow at 7pm /social” creates an entry of “Dinner with friends” tomorrow at 7pm-8pm on your social calendar. Yes, it's $14.99, but it's the best tool out there for quickly dealing with everything you have to do.
Want to set up a separate window specifically for Gmail? Or for Pandora? Or for Reddit? Fluid lets you quickly create special, customized browser instances that look and feel just like regular apps. The free download is fully functional, and there’s a paid upgrade that will get you additional support for scripts, styles, and more.
Chances are you spend way too many hours a day in front of a computer, and f.lux is here to help. The app automatically adjusts the color temperature of your screen throughout the day, making it increasingly warmer as night approaches to save your eyes the stress of the glaring white monitor. Not ideal for anyone working directly with color adjustments or design, but much-needed help if you’re glaring at spreadsheets and text documents deep into the night. f.lux is a free download.
