Dictare
FREE DOWNLOAD Use iTunes as a dictaphone! Control iTunes audio playback, pause, skip forward/backward with hotkeys (or optionally with programable foot pedal), while typing in your favourite word processor (or any other application).

Bak
FREE DOWNLOAD Bak is a simple automated backup server application which requires no client software to be installed on the remote client machines. Internally, Bak uses the unix tools 'ssh', 'rsync' and (optionally for automated backups) 'cron'. It also uses hard links to old backups to make incremental backups into real full backups without taking up the space of full backups. Can backup several remote clients of any operating system that has rsync installed and ssh enabled. Automated backups can be configured to run even when there is no account logged in. Can be configured to send email notifications at end of backups.
NB: This is a simple piece of software that was developed for my own use, and comes with no help or support, so use at your own risk.
Hint: To back up the local machine to itself (eg, to an external hard drive), set the "Remote Host" to "localhost".

Mandel Blot
FREE DOWNLOAD

Draws the Mandelbrot Set (an amazing fractal based on an iterative and complex mathematical function). More Information

Windows Users

I don't do Windows and none of these applications runs on Windows natively. However, if for some bizarre reason you'd like to run them on Windows in an emulator, it can be done. Here are screenshots of Windows and the PowerPC emulator "PearPC" running:
