Calibre
Manage e-book libraries, convert e-books in a huge number of formats, sync to readers (including iPad), view e-books with support for many features, and use a content server for online access to your book collection using a browser from any computer.
Duet
Turn an iPad into an extra display for your Mac using the Lightning or 30-pin cable.
F.lux
Adjusts the colour of your computer’s display to the time of day — warm at night and like sunlight during the day — automatically taking into account where you live and the type of lighting you have.
Kindle for Mac
No Kindle? No problem. Select from the 800,000 Kindle books available from Amazon and read them on your Mac. Features include syncing, notes, highlights, and search.
MacTracker
A database of information on every Mac ever made — even those made by companies other than Apple. No detail is too obscure. You can even play startup chimes.
Pomy
Timer helps reduce eye strain by reminding you to look away from the screen every 20 minutes — for 20 seconds.
Satellite Eyes
Automatically change your desktop wallpaper to the satellite view of where you are, right now. Pull your laptop out somewhere new, and your desktop will automatically change to the view from overhead.
Stellarium
Gaze with wonder through Stellarium at the night sky constellations from wherever you happen to live on this planet. Then go outside and see the stars as they are. Other cool ways to check out the universe are Celestia and SkyORB.
Stretchly
Sometimes you need to take a break from the computer. This app will remind to do just that — at intervals you set. Lots of other little features.
Thorium Reader
Access EPUB 3 publications in reflow or fixed layout format, audiobooks and visual narratives, PDF documents and DAISY 2.02 and 3 accessible ebooks; LCP protected or not.
VirtualBox
Run Windows or Linux on your Mac with this open source alternative to Parallells or VMWare Fusion.
