Ken Humbard’s delightfully useful recipe organizer which features an online library of recipes from users, a full screen view, and a wine and spirits manager. An older, though detailed review.
An easy to use recipe management app focused on four aspects of recipes. Organizing, Sharing, Cooking & Shopping.

Poor man’s Fireworks in a friendly package. Cocoa vector-based graphic application loaded with tools, shapes, layers, text along path, filters, effects, scanner integration, and media browser.

Utility that does what it says. Nothing more, nothing less. If you need to import plenty of contacts and addresses into Address Book, this is the utility to use.
Import contacts into Apple’s Address Book application on Mac OS X. It works with CSV or tab-delimited files, and gives you complete control over how the import is done. In no time, your hundreds of contacts are stowed away in the Mac OS X central Address Book, where they can be used by any application.
9WR - Address Book Importer: Uncluttered utility maps, imports data into Apple’s Address Book.
An absolute must have for Mac users (though no longer free). PTHPasteboard Pro remembers what you copy, saves it, makes it easy to copy again with a single click. Pro version syncs multiple Macs.
How often have you copied something only to find that you need it a few minutes later but you’ve already copied another item? PTHPasteboard watches you while you work and keeps a copy of any items that you have copied to your pasteboard.
9WR - PTHPasteboard Pro: Multiple clipboard manager stores everything copied on a Mac.
It’s a crazy name for a very unique and useful Mac utility. All Macs these days come with screen sharing built right in. That means you can view and control a nearby Mac right from your Mac’s keyboard and screen. ScreenSharing Menulet makes it easy. From Dan Frakes of Macworld on screen share connections:
ScreenSharingMenulet aims to make such connections easier by providing a menu-bar menu that lists any computers on your local network with Screen Sharing (or Remote Management—aka, Apple Remote Desktop) enabled. Choose a computer from the menu and the Screen Sharing application launches and initiates a screen-sharing connection to the chosen computer.
9WR - ScreenSharingMenulet: Menu Bar utility makes Mac screen sharing simple, easy.
Talk about a dying breed. VHS tapes. Convert them to DVD using Roxio’s Easy VHS to DVD. Includes software and USB video/audio ports. $79. Compare to more expensive Elgato Video Capture. Macworld review.
Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac makes it easy to preserve your irreplaceable memories by transferring them to DVD to save and share for generations.
9WR - Easy VHS to DVD: Software and hardware to convert VHS tapes to DVDs.
Backing up the data on your Mac is more critical than ever. Documents, movies, photos, music, and a few dozen apps and utilities make a healthy Mac essential. To eliminate the single point of failure, many Mac users opt for a second hard drive and a backup utility. I recommend two hard drives, Apple’s Time Machine for one, and SuperDuper! on the other. No other utility for a complete clone of your Mac’s hard drive is as easy, secure, or as thorough as SuperDuper!
SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use, and SuperDuper’s built-in scheduler makes it trivial to back up automatically.
9WR - SuperDuper!: Easy, powerful utility to clone your Mac’s hard drive.
