Trying to look for a cost-effective way of getting the most out of your Mac's OS X?  Josh Pigford over at theappleblog brought together a list of his favorite top ten Mac apps, and we were thinking you'd want to hear about them too. Here they are:

ChronoSync
Made by Econ Technologies, this app is a handy backup/disk syncing tool that's sure to come in handy in case anything goes wrong with your unit. Think superduper with more features. Price: US$ 30.

Connoisseur
Little App Factory's app is a cooking recipe database that not only displays recipes fullscreen, but also dictates them like your favorite cooking cooking shows. Also check out the recipe community for more recipes to your taste. Price: US$ 20.

Democracy
For the vidcast viewers, this handy little app allows you to pile up your vidcasts into one manageable load, in a way working as an RSS feed reader. And the best part about this app and its growing directory is that it's a freebie.

DeskShade
For guys who like keeping their desktop spotless, MacRabbit's app is just the program to pick up, as it instantly hides all your messy desktop icons with one click of a hotkey, and also includes other handy features for your use. Price: US$ 12.95.

GarageSale
This app's for the Mac user tired of using eBay's uber-slow listing submission form. It's a full-featured client application for the eBay auction system, and should help not only speed up your auction posting, but also allows for a higher degree of customizability with its healthy assortment of templates and its compatibility with iPhoto. Price: US$ 29.99.

The rest of the apps after this jump!
