[rpm]

Which great software have you discovered which makes your life or work much easier?

 

[APoc184]

I use PushBullet numerous times a day.

So easy to push stuff between devices.

 

[InvisibleJim]

Lately, Microsoft Teams. Very intuitive and well thought out collaboration/productivity tool.

Xmind for mind maps/note taking.

 

[AdrianH]

Groupy for "tabbing" various applications together.

Aquasnap, way better than Windows's built in window snapping.

WinMerge - Doing file comparisons.

Boxcryptor - Encryption software to secure cloud files

TeraCopy - File copying utility

ClickMonitorDDC which allows you to scroll on the tray icon to adjust monitor brightness for any connected display if not analog.

Choco, windows packet manager.

Quicklook, Mac like finder in windows.

Vs Code. Obvious.

 

[sand_man]

Any desk for remote support.

 

[NeonNinja]

Adobe Lightroom.

 

[SykomantiS]

Notepad++

Probably the best text/code editor and debugger around right now. Using it for Golang development.

I prefer goland.

Indeed, but $199 a little steep when I am merely doing it in off time to get some new skills. Do they not have community edition, or cheaper offering?

Eish... I hate teams. If I want to switch between clients I have to log out and log in again every time.

Well, I get it because of the education license if you use it with a university e-mail.
Check individual license, not organization, it's $90/year.

If you use it for an open source project, you can also get a free license, so just pick a nice Golang project to work on.
