Aug 15, 2014 15 Must Have Apps for Mac. By Tomas Laurinavicius; August 23, 2014; Mac’s may not have the hundreds of thousands of options in apps when compared to the iPhone or iPad but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some very useful Mac apps available to Mac users. Here’s a quick list of some awesome Mac apps we recommend downloading. Jun 11, 2020 They are Mac applications that, as a web dev, you definitely want to be installed. Know the coolest part? They are all free and beautifully designed. Automator is a preinstalled app that allows macOS users to automate tasks and just like any tool, in the hands of ane expert, it will work wonders. Automation tasks include anything.
I am looking for good Mac Apps. Here I share my 10 must-have apps with you and hope you tell me more apps I should try.
Must Have Mac Apps 2014 Download
1.Google Chrome
I use a lot of Google services like Gmail and YouTube, using them in Google’s Chrome browser makes a lot of sense. They were both based on the WebKit rendering engine originally, but Google now has their own Blink variant now, and they’ve always had their own JavaScript engine, V8.
If a page isn’t working well, or isn’t stable enough in Safari, give Chrome a try.
➤Chrome [Free]
Evernote
Keep notes, lists, photos and more all in one place, accessible with whatever device you have to hand. If you want a good note taking app that’s easy to use and available on several platforms, you want Evernote.
➤Evernote [Free]
3.Dropbox
Obviously, the Dropbox app for Mac is a must-have as it’s the only way to get native access to Dropbox on OS X. Dropbox is my filesystem, the safe place where I can keep all my important personal (photos) and work (documents) files without worrying about sync or backups.
➤Dropbox [Free]
4.NoteBurner M4V Converter Plus
No one will doubt that NoteBurner M4V Converter Plus is a must-have app for iTunes movie lovers. It removes the DRM protection from your iTunes purchased movies and rental movies so you can play the movies freely on any devices like normal MP4 video files. What’s more, it helps you keep the rentals forever .
➤NoteBurner M4V Converter Plus [$44.95]
5.Tweetbot
From list support to push notification to everything in between, Tweetbot is the most feature rich and complete Twitter experience available for Mac. The official Twitter app for Mac has gotten better recently but still lacks the feature set and control that only Tweetbot can offer. If you want the best Twitter experience available for Mac, Tweetbot is a must.
➤ Tweetbot [$19.99]
6.1Password
Must Have Mac Products
Everyone with logins should have a good password manager, which means they should have 1Password. 1Password for Mac can autofill passwords, forms, and everything in between so you don’t have to remember a password ever again.
➤1Password [$49.99]
7.Pixelmator
Many people don’t realise that you can do very basic image editing (cropping, rotating, color tweaks etc) in the Preview app that comes with OS X. If your needs are greater than that but not advanced enough to shell out for Adobe Photoshop, Pixelmator is a perfect choice. It offers fine tuned control over common adjustments such as exposure, noise, white balance, and more. You can even edit objects out of photos and use many of the featured you’d find in Photoshop but for a fraction of the price.
➤ Pixelmator [$29.99]
8.TextExpander
If you write a lot, this app could save you a serious amount of time. TextExpander allows you to set up keyboard shortcuts for words and phrases that you commonly type. It may seem expensive, but it saves us valuable time, all the time.
➤ TextExpander [$34.99]
9.Fantastical
Fantastical is a calendar app for Mac that’s more convenient than the default Calendar app. It supports natural language input and sits right in your menu bar until you need it. Just click on it and get a quick view of your month and a list view of each day that integrates not only your calendar events, but your reminders as well.
➤ Fantastical [$19.99]
Airmail
Airmail supports Gmail, Exchange, iCloud, Yahoo, POP3, IMAP and more account types; attachments from Dropbox and Google Drive and plenty of presentation and customization options. If Mail doesn’t suit you, check this out.
➤ Airmail [$1.99]

We previously showed you how to create a Windows 10 USB installation media when performing a clean install of Windows 10, but there might be an instance where the only machine you have available is a Mac. We'll show you to create a bootable USB flash drive with the Windows 10 installer from a Mac. It's easier than you think, thanks to the built-in Boot Camp Assistant from Apple.
Download Windows 10 Disc Image
First, you need to download the Windows 10 ISO file. Go to the download page and select the proper edition of Windows 10 in the dropdown menu. If you don't know what K, KN, or Single Language edition stands for, just select Windows 10 in the list.
Create USB installer with Boot Camp Assistant
After downloading the ISO file, you'll need to use Boot Camp Assistant to move it to a bootable USB drive.
- Insert a USB flash drive to your Mac. Make sure it's at least 8GB, which is usually marked on the USB stick. You can also check by right-clicking the USB drive on your desktop and clicking Get Info. Check if the number next to Capacity is at least 8GB. All the files in the drive will be deleted, so make sure there are no important documents inside.
- Open Boot Camp Assistant. The easiest way to launch it is through Spotlight Search, which you can bring up by pressing Command and Spacebar. Press Enter to launch the app.
- Check the box for 'Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk' and deselect 'Install Windows 7 or later version.'
Click Continue to proceed.
Boot Camp Assistant will automatically locate the ISO file from your downloads folder, but make sure it is the right file. Click the 'Choose…' button and locate the ISO file. Make sure the destination disk is the USB thumb drive you've inserted.
Click Continue. It can take about 20 minutes to format and set up the USB installer on the Mac.
When Boot Camp Assistant is done, the USB drive will be renamed to WININSTALL. Click Quit to close the app and then Eject the USB drive.
That's it! You now have a bootable USB drive with the Windows 10 installer. You can use it to configure new Windows 10 PCs from scratch. We told you it was easy!
