This is a list containing much of the software I install first thing when I have formatted my, or get a new, mac.
1: Alfred (AppStore)- it is Spotlight 2.0, faster searches and you can customize it to enable searching on google etc. install it and set the CMD+space hotkey for this program instead of spotlight!
2: Dropbox (www.dropbox.com)- Auto backup software. It's like a usb-drive, but connected to all of your computers, smartphones and tablets simultaneously!
3: Ji-Touch (www.jitouch.com) - Adds +100 gestures and shortcuts to the multitouch trackpad
4: Caffeine (AppStore)- Prevents the computer "falling asleep" or the screen becoming dark
5: UnRarX (www.unrarx.com)- small and simple .rar file extractor
6: jDownloader (www.jdownloader.org)- download manager which automatically grabs links from your clipboard
7: Bejeweled 3 (www.popcap.com)- .. because it's an awesome game!

These might not be the most awesome and best programs in the world, but it's the programs I use since I've come to love either how simple or easy they are to work with, that they accomplish their specific task in such a great way or that it's just a free program! - have fun!
