App #5 : Growl

Maybe Growl won’t seem useful to you at first, but take my word for it. When you are multitasking and you got many things going on at the same time, those little notifications that discretely show up in the corner of your screen will be so useful. What I like with them is that they are discrete and they all have the same look. They are not like those ugly Windows notifications which all look different and sometimes require you to click to keep working on what you are doing. When a grow notification shows up, you can still keep working in your app. Many applications are now compatible with Growl. It won’t show up as a separate application, but it will show up in your System Preferences panel. Download Growl.
