- FeedTheMonkey https://github.com/jeena/feedthemonkey

- KeePassXC https://keepassxc.org/

- GNOME Calendar https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Calendar

- Darktable https://www.darktable.org/

- Alfred https://www.alfredapp.com/

- BetterTouchTool https://folivora.ai/

- Sip https://sipapp.io (even tho the new pricing isn't great)

- Spectacle https://www.spectacleapp.com/ (if you want a Magnet alternative)

- Calibre https://calibre-ebook.com/ (not sure if this counts)

- Sizer http://www.brianapps.net/sizer (because I prefer my windows spawning with customized size and placement; pretty sure KDE offers similar stuff by default)

- Xlaunchpad http://www.xwidget.com/ (mimicking OSX Launchpad feature on Windows; I'm using it with double-click the desktop to invoke setting)

- Everything https://www.voidtools.com/ (default W10 files indexing and search replacement)

- Notepad2-mod https://xhmikosr.github.io/notepad2-mod/ (Notepad replacement)

- ShiftIt (macOs) https://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt

- z (Linux): https://github.com/rupa/z builds a database of every folder I ever go to on the command-line and uses fuzzy search to open the most likely folder when I give z any string argument. It's been such a huge improvement for my CLI workflow. I no longer need to traverse entire directories if I've been there before. I just need to enter the shortest possible part of the path that'll take me to my destination, often just a couple of characters.

- chocolatey (Windows): https://chocolatey.org/ Package manager for Windows which means I only rarely need to manually download and install programs anymore. I can even tell it to update all installed programs, which is a decent time saver.
