SpaceSniffer

Kind of an unusual tool, but it's super useful if you have large hard drives and need to figure out if certain things are taking up large amounts of space on your computer. You basically select one of your drives, and it generates blocks based on file sizes in folders at a fairly fast pace, so you can easily see which folders are larger than others. Also has some built-in functions like opening those folder locations when you click on each block, and so on.

This is great. I've always used TreeSize to discover where I'm wasting disk space but this takes the cake with the way it gives you a grid overview.

regex find and replace ftw

I've never used to Regex find/replace in Notepad++. That used to be my favourite text/code editor until the guys at work showed me Sublime.

Not sure if you guys have heard of Visual Studio Code but it's a code/text editor Microsoft have been working on.

 

WhatPulse
A great software that can record your computer habits such as most keys used, your download habits and what program uses the most download on your computer. Its a great program if you're a gamer and want to know how many times you've clicked or pressed a key

download here


HexChat
A great IRC client that i use all the time!

download here



CCCP

A great and easy to use playback pack for windows which supports the majority of video formats (Its great for watching Anime on)

download here



BlueStacks
Basically an Android emulator for the PC which is mainly used for Playstore games

download here



Bitdefender
A great anti-virus that is probably better than the one you have now. It is not free but you can try it out for one month!

download here
 

BitTorrent Sync - FREE /w Pro Option
Device to device file transferring, super fast way to get your pictures, folders, videos, and documents around your own devices without the cloud.

Avira - FREE /w Pro Option
A new free Anti-Virus out there that competes with the highest standard Anti-Virus brand. I use it personally and I have to say it is really great, without the need to slow down my computer.


Wooxy - FREE /w Pro Option
An easy way to install League of Legends skins, without the need of doing the long way using texmod. Easy skin download and automatic install, not only does it do character skins, but also map skins. If you feel creative you can also create your very own skin.
 

Rainmeter is super cool for those who want to customize their desktop. Not sure if Greenshot has a thing where the print screen key immediately saves the capture to your computer, in case you don't have time to do the manual thing.

Dropbox has that and is immensely helpful in syncing your stuff across your phone, computers and whatnot.  

Also, F.lux is a really neat app that can help you get to sleep easier after a session of using your computer. The blue light produced by computer screens is known to inhibit sleeping ability, so this app will actually fade away the blue light displayed by your monitor by filtering your screen a tinted red, which is much easier on the eyes at night which immensely reduces eye strain and can help you get to sleep easier. Best part is, it turns the red filter off during the daytime when it's not needed, and gradually turns it on as the sun sets in your specified location. Super neat.

There are also equivalent apps for your phone's, F.lux for iOS and Twilight for Android. I find this to be wonderful for night browsing when you're laying in bed staring at your screen. Really helps with eye strain, and it's helped me sleep easier too.  

Mac OS X:

Snip

Snip is kinda like Greenshot, but for mac. I really dig it.  

ClassicShell is pretty damn handy.

ClassicShell is pretty damn handy.

It's great isn't it? It's even more customisable than the Windows 7 one.  

For some reason the start button didn't work on my computer before and it really annoyed me having to press the stupid windows key all the time.

Now I don't have that problem.

Thanks for posting this.  

I wasn't going to post this because the thread seemed to be geared towards OS-improving software, but no one else seems to be abiding.

http://stephaneginier.com/sculptgl/

An in-browser 3d sculpting tool, similar to Zbrush but also free. Fun to play around with, at the very least, if you've ever had an interest in trying 3d sculpting but not committed enough to download software for it. It also supports tablets(like Wacom).


Last time I tried fences it was pretty cool: http://www.stardock.com/products/fences/
Lets you neatly arrange icons on your desktop into categories, useful if you're like me and want things in certain areas. Forget why I stopped using it though.

ShareX is, in my opinion, the best screenshot/basic recording utility available for windows.

Sublime Text 3 is my favorite text editor. It is extremely customizable and runs very well.

Hello Jatz,
I just download sublimetext but I can't find where you can add color to the text like on Xcode so you don't get lost in tons of code line...
Thanks!

Just installed ShareX. 10x better than Greenshot. Thanks for this!
