1Password
1Password is a Password Manager that uniquely brings you both Security and Convenience. It is the only program that provides Anti-Phishing protection and goes beyond password management by adding Web Form Filling and Automatic Strong Password Generation.

Schreiben was my first application for Mac OS X.
I needed a fast, clean and easy to use word processor which opens in the middle of the screen. I don‘t like the behaviour of other word processors you first have to center on the screen. Three years later Schreiben is still one of my favorite applications and because other developers let me learn from their code, I did not use Word for years now.Schreiben is based on the Cocoa Text System – so you can open and write RichText and Word Files. With version 3.0.1+ you can now open and save .docx (Word 2007) and .odt (Open Office Documents) and if needed export Word Documents with Pictures.You can create tables, drop and resize pictures or even write XML. Schreiben has got an integrated statistic (Character, Words, Lines) so you won´t miss your editors/teachers defaults. Schreiben can be used in Fullscreen View, supports Smart Quotes, automatically saving from documents with selectable interval and many formatting features that will help you creating well styled pages, writings, letters or even whole books. You can also store often used Snippets (so you don't have to start from scratch if you want to write a letter for example)…

Xslimmer
Xslimmer reduces the disk space taken up by Universal Binary applications preserving just the Intel or PowerPC version.
Xslimmer is a new and user-friendly way to size down your Universal Binary apps, without losing any of their functionality by removing the code inside the Universal Binaries that does not fit with your machine's architecture, a code that never gets executed and just wastes your disk space.
In addition, Xslimmer can strip out unneeded languages. Safari is available in more than a dozen languages, Adium in more than 20. This is great, but how many of those do you need? Xslimmer allows you to select how many languages you want to preserve in your apps and will remove the rest, recovering lots of precious free space from your disk.
Now fully Leopard compatible!

yFlicks
yFlicks is a movie player based on Mac OS X's QuickTime Framework. But it's much more than that: yFlicks comprises a wide range of functionality, which previously required a slew of task-specific applications.
Most importantly, you can watch your movies just like you used to do with QuickTime Player. But in addition to that, yFlicks offers the ability to play videos in fullscreen mode, organize your videos in groups, search them, rate them, and browse them in preview mode.
Furthermore, you can easily download YouTube/Google/MyVideo videos, view them as flash videos (requires the excellent free Perian codec), and export them to other movie formats — e.g., for viewing them on your iPod.
