MacFonts - Free Fonts Collection

Any good graphic, web or content designer know that a good font goes a long way. In fact, I would go so far as to say having the right typography can make or break a project. Just a tiny little switch in typeface may actually be what makes all the difference in the end result, and could offer you some more impressive options for your designs.

MacFonts gives you access to 40 different fonts that are entirely public domain - which means you can use them for any project, whether commercial or not.

Cheatsheet for Mac: Shortcut Manager

Do you hate having a bookmarked PDF or notepad with all of your app cheatsheets? I used to have a Google Docs spreadsheet that was just full of them, but it became increasingly difficult to sift through and find what I was looking for.

That is why I love that I found Cheatsheet, an app that actually handles all of those shortcuts for you. It runs in the background, and any time you want to check the cheatsheet for any app you are using, you bring up a page of the shortcuts. That's it...super easy to use, and full of useful key combinations you didn't even know existed.

Type2Phone App: Use Your Mac as Bluetooth Keyboard

Does anyone else hate the keys on touchscreen phones? I don't mind the qwerty keyboards that come with some models of smartphones, even if they are small. Somehow, I always end up fat fingers a touchscreen, and my texts come out all wonky. Add in auto correct, and it is a nightmare. I end up just waiting to email people or give them a call.

At least, that is how it used to be. Now I have Type2Phone, which eliminates the problem entirely.

Apps Bar - Active App Tracker Review

I have so many apps on my Mac that it is ridiculous. I only use about a quarter of them at any given time, but I still like keeping it all there, just in case. The problem is that it makes it a little confusing when I want to reopen one quickly. I hate sorting through the chaos to find what I want, and a lot of app icons look the same.
