What's on Peter's Yosemite Mac dock right now!

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/whats-peters-yosemite-mac-dock-right-now' title="What's on Peter's Yosemite Mac dock right now!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2014/12/peters-yosemite-dock-hero.jpg?itok=V9b4CYbn' />[/url]</p> <p>I recently rounded up all the apps I use on my iPhone 6 regularly, and we periodically give you a peek behind the curtain at what we're using to bring you news, tips and info. So here's my roundup of stuff I use on my Yosemite Dock.</p> <!--break--> <p>I'll admit that much of my Dock consists of apps that come with the Mac, because they're a core part of my standard workflow. I use a lot of other apps besides the ones listed below, but these are the ones that deserve a top spot in my dock.</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/whats-peters-yosemite-mac-dock-right-now' title="What's on Peter's Yosemite Mac dock right now!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/12/peters-yosemite-deskop.jpg?itok=s2QZgE6y' />[/url]</p> <p>- <strong>Wallpaper</strong>: Like Rene, I'm a big fan of keeping things default, because I take a lot of screenshots for articles on iMore and want things as familiar as possible for our readers.</p> <ul><li><p><strong>Launchpad</strong>: Many people ignore Apple's Launchpad, but I actually use it quite frequently. Launchpad makes it trivially easy to find apps I need to run.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Mission Control</strong>: Handy when I'm switching between different windows in different apps, or managing multiple desktops.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Safari</strong>: My default web browser, though I do have a few extensions installed like AdBlocker and ClickToFlash, to help make the experience less insanity-inducing.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Mail</strong>: My default email client, even though there are arguably better choices out there.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Contacts</strong>: I don't actually use Contacts that frequently but still keep it in its default location.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Calendar</strong>: I think I'm up to a dozen calendars, between work, home, my wife and my kids. Crazy.</p></li> <li><p><strong>BBEdit</strong>: This is pretty much the first app I install on any new Mac. It's my text editor of choice, and has been ever since I was a cub reporter at MacCentral back in the late 90s. $49.99 - Download now</p></li> <li><p><strong>Notes</strong>: I'm actually surprised, after having checked, at how often I open up notes to jot something down, like a quick phone number I have to call later or another piece of ephemeral data I'll forget otherwise.</p></li> <li><p><strong>TweetDeck</strong>: I like TweetDeck's multi-column approach to managing tweets; it works best in conjunction with a really big external display, however. Free - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tweetdeck-by-twitter/id485812721?mt=12&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download now[/url]</p></li> <li><p><strong>Maps</strong>: I often find myself sending directions to my iPhone from my Mac these days.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Messages</strong>: Use it dozens of times a day to stay in touch with friends and family.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Slack</strong>: iMore's instant messaging tool of choice. We use it as a virtual editorial bullpen so we can keep apprised of what we're all doing in real-time. Free - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slack/id803453959?mt=12&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download now[/url]</p></li> <li><p><strong>Napkin</strong>: This is what we use to put together the how to's you see on iMore. $39.99 - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/napkin-concise-image-annotation/id581789185?mt=12&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download now[/url]</p></li> <li><p><strong>iTunes</strong>: I dislike the version 12 release rather intently, but I still use it all the time.</p></li> <li><p><strong>iBooks</strong>: It stays here, though I use it infrequently at best.</p></li> <li><p><strong>App Store</strong>: Where I download many of the apps I use on my Mac.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Adobe Photoshop CC 2014</strong>: I have other image editing programs, but Adobe Photoshop stays on my Dock because it's more or less my default tool for image editing. From $9.99 per month - Download now</p></li> <li><p><strong>System Preferences</strong>: I keep it in the Dock but I don't actually use this icon that frequently — I usually open System Preferences from the Apple menu instead.</p></li> <li><p><strong>iPhoto</strong>: I'm biding my time with iPhoto (and Aperture, which I don't keep on my Dock) until Apple ships Photos for Mac in 2015.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Skype</strong>: I mainly use this to stay in touch with other Mobile Nations staff besides the iMore crew. Comes in handy otherwise, too. Frequently used for recording podcasts. Free - Download now</p></li> <li><p><strong>NetNewsWire</strong>: I've used this RSS newsreader for many years, and continue to stick with it. $10 - Download now</p></li> <li><p><strong>Continuity Keypad</strong>: A handy tool that lets me dial phone numbers to my Continuity-connected iPhone from my Mac, without having to open FaceTime first. Free - Download now</p></li> <li><p><strong>Google Chrome</strong>: Safari is my default web browser, but I also keep Firefox and Google Chrome installed when I have trouble with Safari. Free - Download now</p></li> </ul><p>If you have any questions about what I'm using or recommendations for apps that you think are better than what I have, lay them on me!</p> <ul><li>What everyone else at iMore is using right now!</li> </ul></div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-28864"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/415ab1a0/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
