Basically i have taken my Mac back to OSX after it's time as an Ubuntu machine and I'm looking at getting it working just how i would like. I want your suggestions for the best free Mac software out there.

It doesn't have to be open-source, although always nice.

These can be productivity apps, music editing, web browsers, whatever.

Hopefully if we get enough this could turn into a nice little list for Mac users.

Can you work out the code?

That's basically the list of free software I use on my Mac. I rarely use stuff you have to pay for if there's a good alternative, and OS X is pretty good for having little apps for certain uses. I definitely recommend Growl, as it works with loads of apps. By no means a definitive list, I'll add more if I come to think of them.

Take 1 shot of Jäger. 1 can of Red Bull. Mix and drink.
Repeat until satisfied.

Thanks for your suggestions so far though, hadn't heard of a couple of those.

I use Camino browser sometimes.
- Google Earth
- Alarm Clock - Yep, thats the name of it. Its a really cool program that plays music at a time you set and even wakes your Mac up from sleep. I use it as my primary alarm clock.
- Frostwire for Music downloading

What version of OS X do you use?

I'm on 10.4, and if this list is every going to be any good, i would expect all the apps to be 10.4 and above and available as a universal binary.
