# Coda named one of the 35 absolutely essential Mac apps

Portland-based [Panic](http://www.panic.com/ "Panic") is well-known for developing beautiful and intuitive Apple Macintosh applications. So, it comes as no surprise that their latest product, [Coda](http://www.panic.com/coda/ "Coda"), follows suit.

What *has* been a nice surprise is the rave reviews the product has been receiving around the industry.

The latest? [Freelance Switch](http://freelanceswitch.com "Freelance Switch") has named Coda one of the [35 Absolutely Essential Mac Apps](http://freelanceswitch.com/working/35-absolutely-essential-mac-apps/ "35 absolutely essential Mac apps"). To wit:

> Coda is an all in one application that makes designers want to take notes and is a lot of web developer’s only tool. A text and css editor, a built in file browser (let’s not forget, these guys built [Transmit](http://www.panic.com/transmit/)) and an Apple Design Award to its honor. It also comes packed with a an actual web reference book reformatted and built into the actual application.
