Transmit – FTP software. I Recently updated to Transmit 4 and it is brilliant.
Cornerstone – A great Mac client app for Subversion.
Tower – Mac Git client. I haven’t personally used this.

iWork – Pages and Numbers. I use these every day.
Webmaster Tools
Google Content Removal Tool – I have had occasion to use this recently!
