What applications do you keep running, no matter what?

[xoot]

I wanted to see what applications people never close, and that stay virtually forever on their desktop or in their Docks.

 

[xoot]

I always run Photoshop because I just love authoring graphics.

 

[googolplex]

When I log in I usually open up mail, my browser, itunes, often I open fire and I usually open blogapp to post to my blog (jeff.hume.ca)

 

[ksuther]

These are always running:
iTunes, OmniWeb, Mail, Terminal, CPU Monitor, SlashDock, Dockprefs (duh), Weatherling

These are running almost 100% if I've got a net connection:
Adium
ircII

These are almost always running:
Console, Project Builder, Interface Builder

 

[Nummi_G4]

In OSX I always have iTunes and Mail.app open. In OS9 i always have Photoshop and illustrator open.

 

[edX]

icab and dockswitcher. i may leave others up for a long time, but those are the 2 i don't quit unless i am rebooting.

 

[Valrus]

Dude, this shouldn't have been a poll...

I have pearCalc, multiDock, and XShelf launching on startup. Then I almost always have Mail and a Terminal running.

iTunes! I'm not connected all the time, but whenever I am, AIM and iCab are both running.

 

[scruffy]

iCab, Terminal, Mail, and OpenAG X (audiogalaxy client).

That doesn't count the little utilities I have start on login - Eyeball X, PTHClock, and XShelf.

 

[twyg]

iTunes, Mail, Proteus, Mozilla and Stickies.
iTunes is pointed to either the AP newsfeed, or an ambient techno station.

 

[genghiscohen]

CopyPasteX, NetMonitor, ThermoInDock, Cycles (a CPU monitor), Typist (text macros), Entourage, OmniWeb, Mozilla (yes, at least 2 browsers at all times), ProcessWizard, Snard, Proteus.
I think that's most of 'em.

 

[rinse]

BBEdit launches on login for me!

 

[TommyWillB]

Memory Monitor
CPU Monitor

Everything comes and goes as I need it...

 

[unlearnthetruth]

Open on Log-In: iTunes, Mail.app, Omniweb, Adium, Snapz Pro

They're all pretty much always on.

Entourage, and Photoshop also see a lot of uptime.

 

[phatsharpie]

Since my iBook is my development machine, I run BBEdit, Terminal (for compiling), Mozilla, and Fire all the time.

[divibisan]

I have Mail, Omniweb, Internet Connect, and Classic

 

[dricci]

The only login item I have is WeatherPop, which puts the current local temperature/weather condition in my menu bar. Even though I have a Window and digital thermometer/wireless time clock next to me, I feel it's necessary for those times when I don't feel like turning my head.

90% of the time I have Mail.app and Mozilla opened, and about 60-70% of the time I have Icy Juce and/or Adium opened, and when needed, I have stickies, iTunes, Address Book, and Desktastic opened.

 

[AdmiralAK]

At home: iTunes are on ALL the time
at work: IM & Music all the time

 

[ulrik]

Always running (also in Login Items):

Entourage, Terminal, Folding@Home, LaunchBar, iTunes, Network utility, Aquisition, eDonkey2000, X Server (for eDonkey), Quicktime, System Manaber, Thread Viewer

I tend to close other apps I don't need at the moment, so you will never see any authoring apps in this list

I always open Fire when I log in and keep it open always...It makes me feel so...available.. Omniweb is almost always open too, so I just can click it to open a new browser window. I tried to put Fire in the login items, but then it just crashes when I log in...
