Why pay for TakeFive? When you can make it for free with Applescript. This Applescript will pause the currently playing song in iTunes for 3 minutes and then start it again. The script was made in about 56 seconds…

Download: TimeOut

Just set QuickSilver, Butler, or something else to start the script with a keyboard shortcut.

Coda – HTML/CSS editor that just works. Worth buying. Replace the default colorscheme with Speciel boards.
iTerm2 – Replacement for the default OSX terminal.app.
Chrome – Replacement for Safari.
Unarchiver – Application for rar/zip/gzip/tar files.
Xee – Fast imageviewer that doesn’t suck like Preview.app.
Cyberduck – Not the best ftpclient with a GUI. But it’s free unlike Transmit. Just buy Transmit
ncftp – CLI ftpclient.
vlc – Best videoplayer around.
nmap – Application for scanning hosts/networks.
vim – CLI texteditor
wget – CLI downloader
