It's been a while since our last "essential" Mac apps thread, and a few new apps have come out recently, thought it would be a good time for a new thread.

I'll start:

Tweetie- I use Tweetie for Mac constantly. Definitely needs an update, but it just seems like the best Mac Twitter client out there. No way I'm using anything that runs on AIR.

Click2Flash- Simply awesome. Never have to see Flash again unless I want to. My MacBook Air runs much nicer after installing this.

VLC- There are many things that QuickTime can't/won't play. VLC will play pretty much anything you throw at it.

Adium - Best IM client for OS X. I don't really use it anymore because I just use iChat with my gChat account, but Adium is the best for IM.

Grand Perspective - A nice visual representation of what is taking up all of that room on your hard drive.

I generally use Apple stuff for the rest of my daily Mac use, but I'm sure there are some that I'm forgetting.

What else do the rest of you peeps use?

No more Twitter. It's Mastodon now.
