Five Essential Mac Applications


Mac systems have become extremely popular and rightly so. With the plethora of functions and options they offer to the users, these computers have virtually limitless capabilities and can be used for a wide variety of purposes ranging from making documents, editing files, mixing music, making and editing movies, designing, managing accounts and so on and so forth. With the many hundreds of applications that can be stored and run on the Mac systems, listing five of the best is a tough task but we do it here in this article to help you gain a better understanding of the system.

The top 5 best Mac applications in our opinion would be:

1) the Firefox browser,
2) Coconut Battery,
3) Audacity,
4) TidyUp and
5) Photoshop.

Firefox

The Firefox browser since the time of its conception has received rave reviews. It is said to be one of the web browsers being used in the present and has replaced the conventional Internet Explorer browser in most computer systems. The Firefox browser has an exceptional feature in the form of a virtually limitless library. This library can be adjusted to the user's personal tastes and demands, making it an extremely flexible feature. The newest version, Firefox 3 has a plethora of exciting new features which make using the World Wide Web a more fun and convenient experience than ever before! The browser works faster than almost all other browsers, thus saving you time and being more effective in loading web pages. One of the most useful new features of the browser is the Instant Web Site ID which allows users to scan the potential threat factor of any new website and immediately avoid any possible swindle or scam.

Coconut Battery

Coconut Battery with its attractive, sliced coconut logo is an interesting Mac application. Built on the recently developed technology known as CoreData, this application allows the users to keep a thorough track of every important aspect regarding the computer's battery such as the current state of battery life, the strength of the battery when it was installed into the system, the battery charging habits or patterns you follow and so on and so forth, thus helping you to maximize the performance of your Mac.

Audacity

Audacity is a software program or application that allows the user to edit the sound files. This allows you to improve or manipulate the quality of the sound files in videos, music streams and other sound clips. The application can be used for editing the sound files that already exist on your Mac or have been transferred and also for recording new ones. The application works as an open platform software.

TidyUp

TidyUp is an extremely handy application. Often we unknowingly make extra copies of a file while transferring them to a different location on the computer system or forget to delete a copy after it has served its purpose. Doing this uses up excess space in the computer's memory. This application lists out any such duplicate files, allowing you to delete them without losing the original or eating up extra space.

Photoshop

Photoshop is a high end editing and graphics application which allows one to edit picture files and completely transform their appearance.
