Now you might wonder why I would need another file upload application when I just told you how great Transmit is. There are free FTP apps out there, but for $34 Transmit is a bargain. It’s fantastic if you frequently upload files to the same server. One really handy feature is the ability to create a “Droplet” you can keep on your desktop or in your Dock which automatically uploads any file(s) you drop on it to the specified FTP site. The latest version offers plenty of new features, but the base feature set of uploading files and making minor edits to my HTML and CSS has been enough to keep it installed on my Mac for a long time. I’ve been using it for years and had no reliability issues. Transmit handles FTP, SFTP, WebDav and more. Panic released an all-encompassing FTP and coding app called Coda, but for simplicity, reliability and features, you can’t beat Transmit for your file transfer needs. Snapz Pro X with video capture capability costs you $69 and is well worth it if you do a lot of screen captures. It also gives you the ability to keep the cursor visible, keep or remove drop shadows, add watermarks, and much more. When it comes to static image capture of your screen, Snapz Pro can capture your entire screen, specific windows, or user definable portions of your screen with a keyboard shortcut, and save it in a number of formats. Snapz Pro X offers everything you would expect in a screen capture utility, with the added ability to capture video and audio of your Mac’s screen (a feature I love to use when a web site attempts to prevent downloading of audio or video!). They all look spectacular, but I’ve stayed with Snapz Pro X because it offers the perfect balance of features at a reasonable price. The last few years has seen several fancy-pants screen capture utilities come to market. The applications listed below contains a few “old timers” and several Johnny-Come-Lately apps that have found a permanent home on my Mac. Today I conclude the series with 10 more apps that I love to use. Last week I published 10 of my favorite apps in Part 1, and another 10 in Part 2. That being said, most of what I install gets used once or twice, then discarded. Over the years I’ve installed a lot of commercial software, shareware and freeware on my Macs.
