This Alfred v Quicksilver thing has come between us. Again.

So I figure I'll share the suite of apps I use in my workflow. If either of you guys have any suggestions of ways to streamline, and or other programs to check out, let me know.

Email: Sparrow. I was using Mail, but found Sparrow to be more fluid with Gmail. I don't really rely on Microsoft Exchange, so Sparrow's limits in that regard are not a big deal to me.

Calendar: Fantastical.

Drawing / Figures: Omnigraffle and Adobe Illustrator

Idea Capture / Organization / Planning: Omnifocus and Omniplan.

Notebook: Evernote. I keep a detailed notebook of labwork that includes explicit protocols, figures, images etc... Evernote is indispensable for it. I've converted the post-docs and grad students in the lab to it so that we can share information as well.

Data Analysis: Excel / Igor Pro

Writing: Scrivener

Reference Management / PDF Management: Papers

General Utilities: Quicksilver as a launcher, Pathfinder as a Finder substitute, 1password, Knox
