Overcast says its Smart Speed feature has saved me 30 hours (over the last ~5 months), so I expect it to save me 100 hours within a year. It is especially useful for podcasts and language learning material with a lot of pauses, but I have become used to it, and so I now keep it enabled for most audiobooks that I load into Overcast just to get the dynamic playback speed.
Now that Windows search often fails to turn up even my most used files (what happened to Windows search? Was it intentionally nerfed?), Everything has become a necessity for me.
Without this, I might have given up on Haskell a long time ago.
Also Cachix[0], as building lots of Nix packages from scratch takes an awful long time, especially on my MacBook Air.
Also git, vim, etc.

Fascinating to see OpenID here. Where do you use it? I thought it was pretty much dead, so implemented IndieAuth recently which does what I want, replacing OpenID’s functionality.

How does it work? Does it really change the speed dynamically? Or it just trims the silences like pocketcasts?
- Alfred App - helps with tons of things, but the clipboard manager alone has saved me over 100 hours
- iTerm 2, especially with a global hot key (and Guake on Linux before my first Mac)
- Prettier on npm (auto code formatting tool, like gofmt)
- Jumpy on npm (my own CLI bookmarking tool, makes it easy to hop around directories)
Everything[0] by Voidtools as a Windows search replacement. It makes search practically instant.

I don't use Windows much nowadays, but ripgrep and fzf are sure handy on linux and mac.
