![]() Nearly everything I type into my computer goes into xPad first, including research data, to do lists, grocery lists, blog posts, assignments, everything. This useful feature is built into Windows 7, and it surprises me that Apple hasn’t yet implemented it in OS X (if anyone knows how to do this, please let me know).Ģ) xPad – This is my go-to app for inputting text. This is really helpful when you need to see an email to add an event into your iCal, or when you have two versions of a file open and need to see both at once. □ģ) TwoUp– Lets you move and resize any window into exactly one half of the screen (any half: top, bottom, left, right) with a simple hotkey. ![]() Oh yeah, it also keeps your Mac awake (no screen dimming or screensaver) when it’s full, which makes it extremely useful for presentations or movies or long SSH sessions, you know, the ones where you really, really have to go to the bathroom but don’t want your Macbook to go idle and drop your connection and destroy your last 5 hours of work, so you end up wetting your pants. You can click on it and watch it magically fill up. ![]() The new version seems to have a kickass citation manager and other cool features too.Ĥ) Caffeine – Another toolbar icon, just a coffee cup. It lets you search a bunch of databases, syncs with all Apple iDevices, and imports just about any file format. 5) Papers (I cheated, this one’s not free: ~$50 for students) – Tried and true app for reading and organizing research papers.
