Nice collection – definitely some apps I wasn’t aware of there that I want to try out.

As for screencapturing, I really like Fireshot – a firefox add-on that allows for capturing the entire browser content without having to stitch together. There’s a free version, and while admittedly, it can only capture what is inside Firefox, I rarely find the need to capture other desktop content. When I do, I use the inbuilt Mac shortcuts.

Yo don’t need Jing if you use Snow Leopard. Quicktime X has a function in it which allows you to capture you’re screen as a movie.

I really like http://contentcube.com . As a designer, I love that it is built to handle my photoshop and illustrator files and it lets me custom brand the pages my customers use to retrieve their proofs. Very cool.

There is a neat little desktop tool called Fanurio http://www.fanuriotimetracking.com . I love it! You can try it for free too. You can just click to start, pause it, etc and you can do nifty reports. I use it to track the time I spend on client projects.

Even though I only bill hourly for consulting projects, it helps me to see how much time Iâ€™m spending to make sure my rates are in line. With Fanurio you can customize invoice templates using your own layouts and export them to HTML or PDF.

Does everybody have FireBug? It is a gift from the gods for anybody doing CSS.
Thanks for putting up this list.
