Honestly, cracked CapCut for life, you will not catch my ass updating beyond my current version. I'd have used Shotcut more if it had built in transitions and animations.

My primary art program, I am an unfortunate shill to the monthly subscription (I kinda have to be to use it on my iPad). The free brushes and tools included definitely do make it worth it, and it's a reason it's very touted as a good art program (even if their subscription model is kinda doodoo).

Multi-purpose web utilities for color conversion, image editing, typography, calculators, and QR code creation, with no login, registration, or intrusive ads.

My website host. Nothing fancy to say here, it was either Neocities or Nekoweb. I also use Carrd but that's for niche roleplaying carrds.

My primary use for coding CSS/HTML stuff. Not very happy they're shoving in AI integration, although you have to be logged in to use it.

My primary game engine I've been learning/using for 7+ years at this point.

Still trying this out, but it's been helping me with keeping on top of goals.

I wish I had this earlier ... one of my favourite tools if I need to lock in, plus being able to customize the avatar to my OC makes it feel a little closer to body doubling. Alternatively I use On-Together for an actual body doubling experience with other people.

Unfortunately I've been in the Apple Ecosystem for so long (15+ years) that it's hard to detangle my reminders from my usage, especially the Siri integration. Would highly, HIGHLY recommend alternatives, I'm just stuck here for now.

It's calibre. Not much more to say. Use it to house my books, fanfics, and manga.

My primary password manager, though it definitely needs a gutting/cleaning out of my old accounts. Feels nice to just have a local password manager, though it's mildly cumbersome to transfer the file monthly, so the same passwords are updated on my phone (I'm not gonna rely on a cloud service for that). KeePassium for iOS.

My note-taking app for mostly things like code learning, writing blog posts, recipes, journaling, and keeping track of schedules for making videos.

Bookmark manager. I'm sure there's a better alternative for this, but right now it works to have cross-platform bookmarks with a tag/folder manager.

I'm still adjusting to using this, but I've been following TagStudio's development for a little while. Primarily used to organize my photos, and my artwork, so I don't need to comb through my files.

Email forwarding aliases, usually the primary one I use. I do also have SimpleLogin ones as well, but they're less used.

Moved over from Authy , though I'm still migrating 2FA codes in over.

One of my two email providers I use.

One of my two email providers I use.

It's Windscribe, what else is there to say. I've been using them primarily for VPN stuff, plus I like that they have a 'choose your places' discounted plan + an extension for double protection.

Great tool for swapping between dark and light mode on Windows, especially since sometimes dark mode is too dark during the day. Allows customizing wallpaper per dark/light mode.

Open-source HDD/SSD utility for monitoring S.M.A.R.T. values, disk temperature and other information.

Not often used, but powerful when it is. Good for keeping certain windows on top.

Professional Windows diagnostic tool offering real-time hardware monitoring and comprehensive device information, ideal for experts and integrators.

It's SO nice to send photos/files between my laptop and iPhone just through wifi. Web alternative is JustBeamIt .

Enhance your Windows with customizable skins showcasing system resources, and more. Enjoy privacy-focused features, lightweight performance, and no ads.

Where has this been my whole life? I'm so late to TeraCopy, basically a big upgrade to Window's built in copy and paste system, but so much better and more thorough. I haven't had any issues with using it, but YMMV.

Mostly the free version for viewing what's taking up space in your harddrive.

I'm trying to wean off using YouTube more (on PC), and this helps to consolidate all my subscriptions into one cleaner place.

For manga downloads. Not much more to say. KCC converter to get them into epubs. Profit.

Lazy way to beam iPad screen to desktop. Not the best, there's better alternatives out there most likely.

Open-source, ad-free torrent client offering a polished user interface, integrated multi-site search, RSS support, remote web control, and cross-platform availability.

Formats USB drives to various file systems and creates bootable USBs from ISOs. Supports MS-DOS/FreeDOS bootable sticks and offers BIOS or UEFI options.

Open source tool for secure remote access and screen sharing, supporting cross-platform use and self-hosting for complete data control.

Windows 11 ugly, this adds a lot of customizable options even for the Windows Explorer windows. Don't think I could live without it now. Unfortunately paid and not open source, but the cost isn't terribly high, and it does have a Windows 10 version.

My primary browser after moving off Firefox (and after moving off Chrome after I think I got cookie hijacked lol). My browser extension list is here: https://alternativeto.net/lists/43731/browser-extensions/
