Mac software alternatives

One of the only difficult parts of the transition from Windows PC to Mac was finding alternatives to Windows-only programs that I had grown reliant upon.

Here’s some useful software that I’ve found:

• Commander One dual-pane file manager with queued file transfers
• iTerm for SSH terminal work (or simply use Mac’s built-in Terminal app)
• Jami for making VOIP phone calls
• MP3TAG for editing MP3 tags
• Name Changer for bulk file renaming
• OpenEMU for emulating game consoles
• PhotoBulk for bulk image manipulation (Mac’s Preview app works for simple bulk resizes, etc.)
• Swinsian for playing music
• Transmit for remote file management (FTP, SSH, SFTP, AWS S3, etc.)
• Xee for image previewing
• XLD for ripping CDs and bulk converting music files between different formats
