A list of tools I use to make myself more efficient. Feel free to collaborate!

Mac OSX

0. OSX For Hackers a bunch of optional settings for hackers on Mac OSX to make it work better. I just read through it and cherry pick the settings I like.
1. FinderPath adds a "address bar" to a Mac finder. Must be invoked by the default hotkey, Cmd + Shift + G while in Finder.
2. Alfred: A remarkable productivity app. The clipboard is one of my favourite features. Also really quick directory searching. Completely scriptable so you can make it do almost anything.
3. Quiver: Programmer's Notebook - it makes it really easy to have your own internal docs for a variety of things and it supports inline code, code highlighting, and search.
4. Quick Look Plugins: Quick look is an awe

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.
