Pretty much a year on from my last list of Software to install when setting up a new OS X machine, time for a couple of additions.
System Enhancements
iStat from the same guys who brought us iStat Menus, this iPhone app and accompanying server application for desktop OS X allows you to:
Remotely monitor CPU, memory, disks, temperatures, fans, uptime and load averages of any Mac or Mac server.
Web Development
I’ve stopped using my previous recommendation svnX in favour of Cornerstone from Zennaware – really nice OS X GUI svn client (Free 14-Day Trial / Single User License $69.00)
Utilitites & Apps
TimeLog 4 time & job tracking – integrates well with iCal & Address Book, good reporting functions and export of data (free trial / €19.00)

+1 for Cornerstone. I’ve been using it a lot this last month. Very nice app. I would also recommend Sequel Pro for MySQL DB Admin. :)

Totally – although I’m starting to find a few things with Cornerstone which kind of bug me a bit – cmmd-D to add an unversioned file seems a bit counter-intuitive (seems like that should be the shortcut for Delete). Also it would be nice if during/after a commit the list of changed files (as displayed in the ‘Log Message’ dialog) was available to copy to the clipboard – would be pretty useful for working out what needs to be pushed to a live server in an incremental update kind of situation.
Started to use Sequal Pro as well – much better & more stable than CocoaMySQL. Also looking to be of use while we’re talking DB admin is Base – £10.00 OSX GUI admin tool for SQLite3 DB’s (at least until Sequal Pro supports SQLite).
