Top 5 OS X Applications of 2004 | December 23, 2004
2004 has also been a great year for new OS X applications, from a glut of new RSS readers to innovative ideas like xScope and Delicious Library
Here are my favourite OS X applications from 2004. What treats did 2004 hold for your OS?
- Quicksilver - This little app has revolutionised the way I use my OS and literally shaves hours of my working week. A must have for all OS X users.
- NetNewsWire Lite - Still in my opinion the best RSS reader around. After Safari and Dreamweaver (my dirty little secret), this is probably the app I use the most.
- FireFox - While I don’t actually use Firefox, It’s steady propagation and acceptance into the main stream may at last start to topple Microsoft’s strangle hold on the browser market. Here’s wishing Firefox a very happy New Year.
- Acquisition - Being a bit of a late adopter and not having jumped on the Bit Torrent bandwagon yet, this is still my file sharing application of choice.
- Skype - This is another application that I don’t actually use much, but can see huge potential for. Also I really like the design of their site in all its CSS loveliness. Watch out BT, your time is almost up.

I think mine would have to be NewsFire, Saft (Safari is naked without it), Omniweb 5, skEdit and Quicksilver. Its good to see lots of smaller developers creating beautiful, and useful OS X apps.
You’re still using the Lite version of NNW? Shame on you Andy! Get the to the full version and support the developer! ;o)
