This is a list that prefers open-source and lightweight Windows applications. A few partially open-source or proprietary applications may be added if there are no great alternatives. Read the descriptions, as I wrote most of them, which gives advice on similar apps or other things to take into account. Comment at the bottom if you believe anything should be updated or have any questions.
