Each way has different business and marketing implications. They can also all be mixed-and-matched for interesting combinations. I think the future is with in-app purchases and the “freemium” model.

Here are the slides for your enjoyment.

In no particular order:

Workflowy – my master To-Do list.
Trello – I use trello to collaborate on a project I have with another partner.
Gmail – I live inside my inbox.
Google Reader – I’m a TechCrunch junkie.
Facebook – useful for Fan pages of apps.
Google Analytics
App Annie – I like the morning emails they send with the previous day’s app sales.
iTunesconnect – this is where I manage all my apps and check when I’ll get paid next by Apple
Elance – I use contractors to do some things that I don’t have expertise in.
Google Calendar – A great way to keep my calendar in sync between my laptop and phone.
Google Apps – I use their free email hosting for my domains. I forward all of my emails into my gmail account. So I never technically go to the Google Apps page.
MailChimp – Useful to send out newsletters to my email lists.
Stackoverflow – has the answer to all of life’s questions, almost.

I hope you’ve enjoyed these posts from me. I’d like to hear from you about any useful webapps you use. Find my on Twitter, @dnstevenson

Here are a few more tools I use, just not as regularly  - perhaps at least monthly. In no particular order:

Adobe Illustrator – I’m not by any means a graphics guy, but I do use Illustrator to resize any vectors I grab from iStockphoto
Gimp – Useful for quick image changes like resizing or changing a color
Cyberduck – nice to have a graphical tool to do SFTP or SCP to my remote servers
Sqlite Inspector – a quick way to browse through a sqlite database. I also use a Firefox plugin called SQLite Manager, which I prefer, it’s just that I’m not in Firefox much these days.
iOS-Simulator Cropper – makes great website and appstore screenshots for iPhone. Unfortunately, my monitor is too small to make it work for iPad very well
Openoffice – I do a lot of work with csv files
Keynote – I’m starting to give more presentations at local tech meetups and user groups
Dropbox – I use mostly to share large files with partners

With these two lists I’ve tried to keep the tools to just “installed” software (tried being the keyword). However, that line is hard to draw. So perhaps I’ll do another list that contains “online” tools next.

What other tools to you use? Tweet me @dnstevenson

• Xcode – need I say more?
• Versions – for Subversion management
• Tower – for my private repo and public github repo (I’m moving from svn to git, slowly)
• Workflowy – I keep my todo list here – it has replaced the notepad I kept on my desk
• Chrome – I love the speed
• TextMate – The first app I bought after becoming a Mac user. Who can forget the “Blog in 5 minutes” video by DHH?
• JellyfiSSH – excellent way to manage all of your SSH connections
• Evernote – my brain dump. I use the Chrome plugin liberally to save stuff I want to read later
• Sequel Pro – a great MySQL tool to manage local databases, and best of all, remote databases over SSH
• PathFinder – a Finder replacement with a few nifty features
• Backblaze – I backup everything and never need to worry about it
• Pandora – get a Pro account and you won’t regret it. New tunes all day
• Twitter – I have an addiction to Twitter and love their official Mac app store app. Find me @dnstevenson
• AppViz – it helps me track my app sales and reviews. I also use App Annie for to get a daily sales report in my inbox.
• Gmail – I know, I’m a Mac user and I should be in love with Mail, but I can’t do it. Gmail fits my style.
• Fantastical – super easy way to create calendar events and see my calendar from the menu bar.

There are plenty of other tools that I use – just not quite as regularly (OpenOffice, Dropbox, and more). There are also technology stacks that I use that I did not include – such as Ruby on Rails and MySQL.

I’d love to hear what tools you use – tweet me @dnstevenson

The Salt Lake Cocoaheads is an open and free group that meets the first Tuesday of each month. Its a great opportunity to learn more about iOS and Mac development, along with a great way to network and socialize with other developers across the valley.

Below are the slides and the recorded event (I’m the second speaker). If you are in the Salt Lake area, you need to come to Launchup – they are held the 1st Thursday of each month at 6:30.
