Real-Time PC Optimization & Automation with ProBalance
Process Lasso is an automated Windows process (program) management and optimization utility. By managing the programs running on your computer, Process Lasso increases system responsiveness and helps to prevents system stalls. It accomplishes this through our ProBalance technology. This proprietary algorithm dynamically adjusts the priorities of running programs so that some are given higher priority access to the CPU(s) than others. With Process Lasso, no longer will single, or multiple, processes be able to bring your system to a virtual stall. Process Lasso will let you keep interacting with your computer, even when it is totally swamped.

Process Lasso uses virtually no system resources itself, being written in highly optimized native x32 and x64 C++. The core engine can run stand-alone and consume as little as 1-3MB of RAM.

Curious application for our Linux friends XD

The Fuck is a magnificent app, inspired by a @liamosaur tweet, that corrects errors in previous console commands.

@catweazle Sort of hate the title, but for occasional Linux users who are not console mavens and who essentially never type error-free, it's a genius app.

Well, that is why the creator has chosen this name, because it is usually the first thing that crosses your mind if you make a mistake.

IrfanView is in my opinion the best image / multimedia viewer that exists, unfortunately only for Windows. But you can make it run in Linux too

TiddlyWiki is a unique non-linear notebook for capturing, organising and sharing complex information.

Use it to keep your to-do list, to plan an essay or novel, or to organise your wedding. Record every thought that crosses your brain, or build a flexible and responsive website.

Unlike conventional online services, TiddlyWiki lets you choose where to keep your data, guaranteeing that in the decades to come you will still be able to use the notes you take today.

Read about why I choosed TiddlyWiki or to get a taste of Tiddly's knowledge, read Joe Armstrong (co-inventor of Erlang): My Eureka Moment with the TiddlyWiki.

For more information, see https://tiddlywiki.com/

Some examples of usage:

My own site. example of personal knowledgebase management
Badass design by h0p3
Managing D&D and similar table top games (just download and open the HTML file - it's the entire wiki itself, all in one)
Include videos, images, music, etc. in to your wikis with RichLinks plugin (see Demos tab)
TiddlyMap for mindmaps
Cardo for project and task management, Getting Things Done (GTD)

Another good tool (Win only), O&O File Direct (German Soft Company)
A small utility to share files of any size and type directly from PC to PC, without using the cloud. Simply opening the utility and drag the files you want to share to the window, adjust the days of availability, an eventual password and the number of downloads allowed. The program then creates a link that points directly to the file in question and allows the recipient of this link to download it.

I add that SSuite works great on mobile phones too, especially the Blue Velvet editor, which is optimized for small screens. The Lunapic graphic editor also adapts perfectly to the mobile format, so you have an editor far superior to any app in the store. It offers the same functions as PC browser version.

My contribution will not suit perfectly here because it is small but powerful and free. For playing Webradio as e.g. carefully collected by our member @Ryszard I recommend XMPlay (Win). The little program has everything one needs with a light footprint.

"XMPlay is an audio player, supporting the OGG / MP3 / MP2 / MP1 / WMA / AAC / MP4 / WAV / AIFF / CDA / MO3 / IT / XM / S3M / MTM / MOD / UMX audio formats, PLS / M3U / ASX / WAX / CUE playlists, and ZIP archives. A load more audio and archive file formats are also supported via plugins."
