Must have Mac apps for web developers

Please add to the list if you can.

Sequel Pro:
It's like phpMyAdmin with Apple's polished interface. I'm in love with this thing, it makes managing MySQL databases a dream. I wish there was an equivalent for Postgre, though.

Coda:
It's an SSH/FTP client and text editor in one. Another program I cannot live without.

SiteSucker:
This lets you download an entire website (or parts of it) to your computer. This can be useful if you want to learn how a particular website design works.

KeePassX
A utility that lets you store all your passwords (and generate random ones). If you have access to ~25 SSH servers like I, this is useful for keeping track of them all.

Hmm, I thought I'd have more. If you don't like Coda, Cyberduck and TextWrangler make a good replacement.

I really like what sitesucker dose, All though isn't it copyrighted? Well not if you use it on your own site right?

Sequel Pro is amazing. <3

I prefer BBEdit for my coding/text editing. I don't know why really, it's just awesome. Might download the Coda trial though and see if it can change my mind.

Also, I use 1Password for all my password needs. It's brilliant.

Another vote for Sequel Pro, I used SQL Manager J before and Sequel Pro knocks it into a cocked hat. I also use Heidi in Windows on Parallels horrible interface and overly complicated.

Another Application I've found to be invaluable is MAMP (I use the Pro version as I have several sites). It provides an Apache, MySQL and PHP server inside the Application, so you don't have to use the built-in Mac one.

Fugu is a great SFTP client for mac that's made life easier for me when I'm doing stuff server-side.
