List of must-have softwares for Yosemite

Because recently, I've been working on some side projects that involve constantly reinstall my OSX, and I hate to remember all the softwares I need to install for every single time. So here we are, my list of all the must-have softwares for a fresh Yosemite.

EDIT: add some more on Oct. 17, 2014.
EDIT: add MacVim, Spotify, VLC, Plex, XMind on Oct. 27, 2014.

Apps:

  • Chrome (Safari is the fastest browser to download Chrome, IE is the second)
  • iWork set
    • Keynote
    • Numbers
    • Pages (barely use)
    • iPhoto
    • iMovie (just in case I have nothing to do)
  • iTerm 2 - the best terminal emulator on Mac and I don't know why. It is just good.
  • 163 Music (you need to at least know some Chinese to appreciate it)
  • Dropbox
  • Wunderlist
  • Evernote
  • Alfred (I like to set the key to be double tap "command")
  • Feedly
  • Mint
  • Skitch
  • Caffine
  • Intellij (for Java development, note it requires Java SE 6 runtime to run and will install on start)
  • cdto (a nice plugin for finder to open iterm at current folder)
  • Baidu Input Method (for Chinese input, download is always painfully slow)
  • OmniGraffle
  • QQ
  • Cinch (search "irradiated")
  • Mendeley (best tool for paper reading)
  • Skype
  • LyX (quick write up for school homework)
  • SourceTree (to quick manipulate git repo)
  • MacVim (Open text file with Vim!) (use the RCDefaultApp to change the default app setting)
  • RCDefaulApp (change default application for extensions)
  • Spotify (nice radios)
  • VLC (yet another video player)
  • PlexHomeTheater (watching videos could be fun)
  • XMind (Mind mapping)
