I read on the interwebs that dropbox is draining the #mba battery. is this still a problem?

Have dash on there. Love it. Been using it extensively with Obj-C / iOS.
I'll look at Moom and Better Touch Tool (they sounds like a must have)

@buk I haven't noticed it at all. I'll keep an eye on it, though.

Looks like Moom is similar to SizeUp

You may also want to try the thoughtbot laptop script https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop or boxen http://boxen.github.com/

Moom and several others were always flakey. Most everyone I know went back with sizeup.

Bartender to manage status icons.

Onyx for system maintenance and customization.

ccleaner for cleanup as well as cmm2. It covers stuff the other doesn't.

Fantastical for quick events and calendar access.

Mailplane and airmail. I'm gravitating towards just airmail but latest Mailplane integrates with gcal. Despite the improved integration Mailplane has serious problems with multiple accounts since the latest release.

Transmit for FTP and S3.

There's more but I can't think of all of them right now.

Instead of Caffeine you should use Should I Sleep you won't regret it 😄

I use a similar set of apps.

👍 for BetterTouchTool. Window snapping is handy, plus I have three-finger-swipes bound for basic navigation in most apps.

Also 👍 for Shortcat since you're a keyboard-fancier.

Finally, I prefer Tweetbot over the official Twitter app. Given how much time I blow on Twitter, having a single synced app across devices via iCloud was worth it to me.
