Hi,

Does anybody know of any interesting/helpful software that improves upon the standard tools/features given by their OS? This doesn't have to be strictly Windows software; post your Windows/Mac/Linux suggestions here and share them with everybody else.

I'll start this off!

Divvy
An application for managing the windows on your screen. It's available for Mac/Windows users and can be downloaded for both Mac and Windows. There's both a free demo version and a paid version available.

Start8
Brings the start menu back to Windows 8/8.1 It's probably the best start menu replacement I've found. You can download it here. Unfortunately it's paid-for software. If you'd like a free version, take a look at ClassicShell.

Greenshot
A great replacement for the print screen feature. Greenshot gives you a selection rectangle that allows you to select a certain area on your screen and do a range of things with it, including uploading your image to Imgur, saving it to your computer, opening it in an image editor and more.

You can download it here.
