List some of the better mac freeware here.



There are sites that have lists but many people never sees these and much freeware is ignored. Freeware listed here can range from games to word prossesing. Just remember to give the applications name and link.



Here are a few, mostly usless, applications/games



Fun

Snjor Simulates snow on your screen

Back light 2 Displays screensavers as your desktop background

Subliminal Message Display custom subliminal messages in a number of times formats, fonts, and colors.

Conan the Librarian A set sound level will make your computer shout at you

Earthquake The computers screen will shake at certain times and then stop

Poop Alerts One of the best applications for pranks. It runs on a server or client and at random times, a dog will pop onto the computer screen and take a dump on it. It runs hidden too.

MacSaber uses motion in laptop to play lightsaber sounds.





Audio

Audacity A simple sound tool with many export options

Switch In my opinion, the best audio converter out there with almost every format supported.





Photos

Photopolis Turn your photos into cities





3D Modeling

blender A great 3d modeling tool

Terragen 1 and 2 The best 3d landscape modeling system out there for any price. Be warned, render times are large but it uses little memory, and it is well worth the wait. My favorite freeware for mac

    There is also a very big of all apps a guy named Jeff can locate (17,854 OS X apps listed as of today), but you have to dig through for what might interest you - but that is half the fun.



    Everything from Freeware to full commercial apps, with shareware being a large percentage from what I can tell.

    My number one free app is SMARTReporter (http://homepage.mac.com/julianmayer/) as it sets a small icon on the menu bar - green if the HD is OK and red if you are starting to have problems. Will even send you an email warning of trouble. Found it AFTER a PB HD had problems and had to be replaced.
