Top 10 Most Useful Mac Apps?

[Chin Lee]

Howdy -

That's kind of broad. Perhaps you can narrow it down? Specific things needed....or similar apps you used on previous platforms?

If you are fresh to Macs, sure.....there is the Apple App store. But you can find more diverse, interesting, and alternative options and some useful reviews at MacUpdate.com. Find something you like, and check the linked alternatives at the bottom of each app page.

Thanks Howdy.

I was on Windows Platform and now moved to OS X. I am researching on some productivity apps which make my Mac good. First thing I am looking is a password manager as want to migrate all my database to OS X. Earlier I was using KeePass but for Mac it doesn't feel so good.

OS X has a built in password manager called Keychain application that might do all you need. That's all I use. A lot of people like 1Password, but it is not cheap.

Agreed.

Even if one picks a third party password tool, good to understand Keychain basics. It is there, working regardless of what users do. Occasionally, one must actively interact with it, so it is worth a consideration before adding another layer.
