Mostly Windows-oriented, but plenty of open source and cross-platform software in there.\n\nIn no particular order:\n\n- [Thorium Reader](https://github.com/edrlab/thorium-reader) - Nice EPUB reader, keeping things much simpler than Calibre. Cross-platform.\n- [LocalSend](https://github.com/localsend/localsend) - A god send, THE god send. Send files wirelessly from device to device without needing to upload it to the cloud. Cross-platform.\n- [Flow Launcher](https://github.com/Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher) - A nifty launch/search bar for Windows. Very nifty.\n- [Obsidian](https://github.com/obsidianmd) - I tried almost every (non-Mac exclusive) note-taking software under the sun and this is my favorite for keeping markdown notes. This replaced Notesnook and Sublime Text for me. Cross-platform.\n- [Ludo](https://github.com/libretro/ludo) - For when you want to play some retro games without wanting to get deep into the weeds of setting up RetroArch and stuff.\n- [LosslessCut](https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut) - I use this pretty often to losslessly edit videos. Super lightweight and fast. Cross-platform.\n- [LightShot](https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html) - Taking screenshots made easy. Windows and Mac.\n- [foobar2000](http://www.foobar2000.org/) - My favorite audio playback software for Windows. Extremely customizable.\n- [SpeedCrunch](https://speedcrunch.org/) - I don't do any math beyond basic arithmatic but this is hands down the best software calculator I've ever used. Cross-platform.\n- [PeaCalc](https://github.com/JdSchlachter/PeaCalc/) - This one is WAY more lightweight and faster than SpeedCrunch, but not as pretty and can't really be customized. Windows only.\n- [VLC media player](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html) - Who doesn't know this one by now? THE best video player full stop. Cross-platform.\n- [Notepad2e](https://github.com/ProgerXP/Notepad2e) - The best replacement for Windows default notepad. It can fully replace it in the installation. It highlights code, has soft-wrapping, character counter, and many more features. Plus it is highly customizable.\n- [qBittorrent](https://www.qbittorrent.org/) - Once upon a time uTorrent was the shit, but then it turned to shit (full of ads and spyware). This is open source and keeps getting better. For all your torrenting needs. Cross-platform.\n- [Feed Notifier](https://github.com/fogleman/FeedNotifier) - Simple desktop feed notifications. I've been looking for something like this for ages. Simple RSS notifications without the need for a fully fleshed feed manager/reader. Ideal to stay on top of news (ie: adding only a handful of feeds).\n- [Sumatra PDF](https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/free-pdf-reader.html) - The best alternative to Adobe Reader. Lightweight and supporting all sorts of formats.\n- [Handbrake](https://handbrake.fr/) - Video transcoding made easy. Cross-platform.\n- [CDisplay EX](http://www.cdisplayex.com/) - For reading CBR comicbook files.\n- [Ghostwriter](https://wereturtle.github.io/ghostwriter/) - Another great distraction-free writing tool. This one is open source and is named like [that awesome show](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewRAVRgPngg).\n- [Mem Reduct](https://github.com/henrypp/memreduct) - Tool to keep track of RAM on Windows and reduce it if needed. Very handy.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftwinysam%2FComputerToolbox","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftwinysam%2FComputerToolbox","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftwinysam%2FComputerToolbox/lists"}
