Some of my favourites that I use on a more or less daily basis:
Camino (better for me than Firefox 3)
Skype
Quicksilver (tried pretty much all launchers, and this is still my favourite; super customisable and integrates really well with all my other apps)
Aurora (alarm clock)
Plain Clip (removes formatting from the current text piece in your clipboard, really useful if coupled with a global hotkey)
Appzapper ("uninstaller")
AntiRSI (reminds me to take breaks; customisable; wrist pain has been non-existent since I installed it)
CyberDuck (easy to use FTP, probably just a bit better than Fetch)
FFView (for reading Manga)
Onyx (to keep my Mac clean, not really sure if it works...)
NetNewsWire (decent RSS reader)
Resize 'Em All (simple picture resizer)
Transmission (torrents)
X-Chat (IRC)
The Unarchiver (a bit faster than the standard Mac unzipper)
Eclipse (for programming, CVS e.g.)
Quinn (Tetris)
Adium (MSN, AIM, etc.)
VLC / mplayer (mplayer is difficult to set up properly but is faster and works better with subtitles, and it works with codecs where even VLC fails such as real media)
Menubar items:
MenuCalendarClockiCal (great calendar for the menubar)
SoundSource (menubar item to quickly switch between audio sources, very useful if you have an USB Dac)
Widgets:
Currency Converter
iStat Pro (system information)
Preference Panes:
Flip4Mac (for watching those WMVs on websites)
Perian (codecs for Quicktime)
TextExpander (turns pre-defined text snippets into full text, an app for lazy people)
Growl (notification programme)

A thread like this specific to audio would be great in the computer audio forum. One for each OS. Mac, Win and Linux.
I come here for audio, not much else.

Fair point but nah.. I wanna lurk some more. Didn't mean to come off as some beggar telling others what to do. Just thought it was more relevant to the site.

As stated, this thread don't have to be audio related to be "relevant" to Head-Fi. A whole lot more threads much less audio-related are out here and I haven't see anybody complain.
