Must have software?

[Arch]

What are your must have software lists for Windows or Mac?

 

[Sam]

I use Windows 10 on my Laptop and Desktop...

Must have Software:

1. f.lux | Reduces screen brightness for easier night-time browsing | https://justgetflux.com/
2. lightshot | Screen Capture tool | https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html
3. Spotify | Music (and the pioneers of Streaming) | https://www.spotify.com/nz/
4. VLC Media Player | Plays Media... better than the default software | http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html
5. Adobe Reader | For PDFs | https://get.adobe.com/reader/
6. Microsoft Office.
7. Chrome OR FireFox OR Opera browser.

Chrome, DFX (makes overall audio 100% better), some games and that's it. 😀

For Mac:

• Lightshot
• Keka
• Video Blend
• Miscrosoft Office
• DropBox
• PDFElement
• Flux
• Dr.Cleaner
• Awesome Screenshot
• PhotoScape X

I don't use Windows too often anymore beside for work so no interesting applications there.

1- office for my work
2- antivirus - for safety
3- idm - download
4-winrar- a lot rip file now
5- foxit phantom pdf- help me to do anything with pdf ( also easy to get key )

I think these are good webmaster tools, not in general:

1. Sublime Text - an excellent text editor with highlighting for different languages. It's technically not free, but the trial allows unlimited, full use - it just bugs you to consider buying it every 20 saves.
2. PuTTY - If your hosting provider is a VPS or dedicated server provider, you can access your Linux distro's SSH using this tool. It's lightweight and free too, plus it can fit on a flash drive. Easier than getting SSH from Cygwin.
3. FileZilla - Excellent FTP tool. It supports SFTP also and is very fast, however, you have to download it in a certain way if you don't want the bundled software (or adware as some call it).

If you use PuTTY and manage a lot of machines, I recommend RoyalTS. The ability to manage 30+ sessions in one application saves your sanity. It uses PuTTY, just hooks it into one application. Also supports RDP/VNC etc in the same app. When I'm not on Windows (which has been more and more of recent), iTerm3 is a good replacement for Terminal on Mac. I haven't found a good terminal replacement on Ubuntu yet.
