Tim’s 5 favorite tools are…

1) My Mac

I use a unibody 15″ MacBook Pro, and it goes wherever I go. Because I work from different places, a laptop is the only kind of computer I use. Home, at the office, at someone else’s office, on the couch…

2) Espresso

Without a doubt my favorite app of the moment. I use it for front-end development, and it’s a perfect all-in-one app for people using the TextMate + CSSEdit + Transmit combo.

3) LittleSnapper

LS is like a huge cardboard box where I throw everything even slightly inspirational in. Before the start of a project, I like to quickly go through all the snaps, to get me in the right mood.

4) Tweetie

I’m a huge Twitter fan, and right now, Tweetie is the best app available for it (both on Mac as on the iPhone).

5) Billings

Easy and beautiful invoicing, and gives you a quick overview of what’s paid, what’s overdue…
