The guys over at MacHeist have put together another great bundle this year. Check out the list of apps below.

Update: All the applications have been unlocked!
[ Browser ]
Firefox – Need I say anything else? My browser of choice no matter what OS you’re running.
[ RSS ]
Vienna – An excellent RSS reader
[ Email ]
Thunderbird – Mail.app is a fantastic email client, but Thunderbird still outshines it. Truth be told though, I hardly use my desktop email client.
Google Notifier – If you use Gmail this application is a must have. Automatically checks your Google Calendar and Gmail account and notifies you of upcoming events and email messages.
[ IM ]
Aduim – A feature rich Instant Messaging client, with a broad range of supported clients makes this a must have.
[ File Sharing ]
Transmission – A simple, easy to use BitTorrent client that’s a little more developed than Tomato.
[ FTP ]
Cyberduck – A departure from the normal two paned view you might be used to in FTP programs, but still a robust program with support for FTP (File Transfer Protocol), FTP/TLS (FTP secured over SSL/TLS) and SFTP
[ Video Playback ]
VLC Player – Fast, stable and wide ranging codec support makes VLC a fantastic all around media player
Flip4Mac – Adds support for playing WMV files in QuickTime
[ DVD Ripping ]
Handbrake – It may not offer the widest range of options when ripping a DVD, but it’s straight forward and produces high quality rips with no hassle.
[ CD Burning ]
LiquidCD – Excellent alternative to the native disc burning in OS X
[ Finance ]
Cashbox – Simple and easy to use software to keep track of your finances
[ Misc ]
smcFanControl 2.1 – A must have for managing the fan speeds on your Macbook / Macbook Pro
Growl – Growl is a notification system for Mac OS X: it allows applications that support Growl to send you notifications.
Alarm Clock 2 – I would be late for work/classes almost daily if it wasn’t for this program, with options for waking up to either an annoying klaxon or music from your iTunes library.
Seeing as my fellow blogger Fred just made the switch to OS X, I thought I’d help him and other switchers out by posting a quick list of must have applications for OS X.
