Hi him just wondering what would you say are Apps that I should download on my new Imac
They're most already on your Mac.
Everyone here has some third-party apps that we really like, but as I say in my essay (linked below), you should really take some time and get to know the apps you already have. If for no other reason than then having a better idea of what you think you might need, so we can give you better recommendations.

How about PATH FINDER guys. I really find it useful. It's my first paid app and it's worth it. I'm not satisfied with FINDER because it cannot hide/reveal a file or folder except using Terminal commands. That is very important to me. Path Finder also has very nice side bar arrangement
The main reasons I got Path Finder was for Tabs, smart folder sorting, cut/paste of files, and easy hide and show of system files. Total Finder has all of these - and I highly recommend it.
I bought Path Finder before Total Finder was ready. That being said there are still a few things that pathfinder has which may be nice - but the software is expensive. You can assign hotkeys to any menu item. It has "shelves" that let you access processes, a terminal, and reccents very easily. It cycles through icons like other file managers do (i.e. as I push arrow right, the selection will wrap to the next line) You can view coverflow with any type of other view (i.e. it doesn't have to be list view to be in cover flow. There is extra info available under files. The context menu is customizable as well. Most of this stuff is power user stuff so it may not matter to most.
I haven't used Path Finder in quite some time, but I don't remember being impressed with it back in the day.
TotalFinder is a plug-in for the Finder that adds tabs and allows you to join tabs to do dual-paned file manipulation. It also adds system wide cut/copy/paste functionality for file manipulation. Additionally, it can show hidden files with a hot key. Best of all, it's less than half the price of Path Finder.
