AirServer
Steven P. Jobs reviewed on 09 Jun 2011
Personally, I prefer Banana TV over AirServer simply because Banana TV can playback by itself, which I find easier to integrate with my HTPC.
However, if you don't mind using QTX, AirServer does work.
(And why isn't Banana TV listed in MacUpdate?)
BetterTouchTool
Steven P. Jobs reviewed on 23 Apr 2011
BTT provides very fine-grained control of your trackpad. You can set up your trackpad to control any gesture workflow you can dream up.
It's an essential tool for folks who like customizing their OS X user interface. Much more advanced than the competing apps.
DragThing
Steven P. Jobs reviewed on 18 Apr 2011
It's got customizability options beyond belief, so if you want it to work precisely according to your personal workflow, it'll make it possible. And that's why I'm a happy customer. I can set it up just the way I want.
With Launchpad coming in Lion for the newbies, and for the folks who don't care about customizing their workflow, DragThing could actually see new customers as folks who want more control over their UI find this excellent app.
Plex
Steven P. Jobs reviewed on 17 Apr 2011
If you're interested in this kind of app, you really should download and play with Plex. They've built a superb media manager with a standard OS X user interface that is absolutely superb.
Now that the praise is over, there are problems. The interface for the OS X player lags behind in development, though supposedly something better is coming someday. I wish the devs would put as high a priority on using Plex as an HTPC as they do on the iOS client/server stuff.
But complaints aside, if you're interested in managing video on OS X, you should check Plex Nine out.

Perian
Steven P. Jobs reviewed on 17 Apr 2011
It's put out for free by a small crew, and it makes a whole host of non-Apple formats readable by QuickTime. Not every single one, but most.
Good to see the devs keeping the tool current with broader video encoding trends in v1.2.2.
The state of video on OS X without Perian would be bleak, so my hat is off to the folks who make the magic happen.

OmniFocus
Steven P. Jobs reviewed on 15 Apr 2011
Overall, this app continues to be the best of its kind on OS X.
It doesn't work precisely the way I'd prefer in every aspect, but it's still a reliable and highly useful way to manage tasks on a daily basis.

ClickToPlugin
Steven P. Jobs reviewed on 04 Apr 2011
I use OmniWeb with JavaScript and all plugins disabled as my main browser, but often hop into Safari for the full immersion. ClickToPlugin recently replaced ClickToFlash for me, and I love ClickToFlash.
Kudos to Marc.

FruitMenu
They do their best to keep their quite sane and useful utilities up-to-date with Apple's latest whims, and if nothing else, they write the best Release Notes in the business.

SofaControl
Steven P. Jobs reviewed on 27 Feb 2011
You can set up pretty much any kind of HTPC setup you can imagine with Sofa Control.
The app is rock solid, and everything works in a predictable way. You've got starter AppleScripts scripts for various apps pre-written that you can modify. And you can stitch everything together in whatever manner you desire.
If you don't speak any AppleScript and don't want to learn, this app may or may not be for you. It works out of the box without any mods, but that's not where its real power and real beauty are.
Sofa Control will let you do pretty much anything you want with a lean-back Mac connected to a TV, as long as you already know some AppleScript or are willing to learn.

NewsFire
However, I do have problems with the lack of release notes, and I especially have a problem with the developer not having a version for folks who don't wish to purchase apps through their OS vendor.
Such behavior is indicative of a an untrustworthy developer who has been on the platform long enough to know better. As well, it's indicative of a developer who doesn't respect his potential customers.
