Editors

Sublime 3, TextMate, Atom

TinkerTool

for accessing advanced OSX settings

Flip4Mac

LaunchControl, Lingon

autom. service/background jobs, analog service control manager in Win - use with care!

LaunchControl has a nice feature to add a "quick launch" icon to the menu bar, so services can easily be loaded/unloaded. Handy for homebrew-installed e.g. databases etc which are only needed for development every now and then.

ShareIt, Instashare

tools for transferring files between OSX, Win, iOS and Android. ShareIt has the advantage that it can start a Mobile Hotspot on the Android tablet, so no need for all devices connected to a WLAN hub especially when I'm on the road a lot.

tweak various OSX UI stuff for performance, get rid of animations etc.
