Great apps for Front End Development on a Mac

Mac Web Dev Apps

This gist's comment stream is a collection of webdev apps for OS X. Feel free to add links to apps you like, just make sure you add some context to what it does — either from the creator's website or your own thoughts.

##Sublime Text 2

The best code editor for Mac, and a definite must have.


##Transmit

##Codekit

CodeKit helps you build websites faster and better. Its flagship features are listed [on the website] and the one-minute teaser video is a good place to start.


##Tower

##MAMP (pro)

"MAMP PRO" is the commercial, professional grade version of the classic local server environment for Mac OS X: MAMP. Designed for professional web developers and programmers, MAMP PRO allows easy installation and administration of their development environment under Mac OS X.

MAMP is free and Pro is cheap. The only thing the Pro version gives you is a GUI for things you could have already done yourself via command-line fu. I use Pro for its convenience.

A simple yet powerful tool for working with regular expressions. - * optional Build great patterns quickly and effortlessly with syntax coloring and with matching and replacing occurring in real time.

##Homebrew

The missing package manager for OS X


##1Password

1Password can create strong, unique passwords for you, remember them, and restore them, all directly in your web browser.


##Mou

The missing Markdown editor for web developers


##Gradient

CSS gradient generator, can output SCSS and Compass compatible code - * optional


##Little Snitch

Network monitor - * optional
