My Favorite Freeware Apps

1. SketchBox

Sketchbox for Mac

Sketchbox is the built in Mac OS X app called stickies on steroids, allowing you to type out your notes, add drawings along with your text or without, and the ability to set a alarmon more important notes, it is truly a multifunctional application. It is also possible to export notes to a .pdf format and organize your stickies in a very ‘Mac like’ way. One negative I’ve seen is alarms not being played if the application is quit, other then that this is a great download if you want an enhanced version for those who use stickies. 

2. Transmission 

Transmission for Mac

Transmission is a BitTorrent client, unlike other BitTorrent clients it is well designed and easy to use. Simply drag ‘n’ drop any torrent to get things started, once that is done select the files you wish to download. Download this app if you have ever needed to torrent. 

3. Quinn 

Quinn allows you to play tetris on your mac! 

Tetris can be played in the terminal although it is much better when played with Quinn! Quinn’s graphics are slick, and it also provides multiple preferences. Quinn alows you to change little things such as the color of the blocks to major things such as the controls. Quinn runs smooth on any computer, another compelling feature is support for high scores! Download this game if you have ever once played tetris!

 4. Handbrake

Handbrake allows you to burn DVD’s to multiple formats. Simply insert your DVD choose the device you would like to export to, choices vary from devices like the iPod to a PS3, now click start and voila.
