00:30 - Steps to achieving flow:

1) Type furiously
2) Move irrelevant window on 2nd monitor slightly to the right
3) Repeat.

Thanks Tom!

ShareX is an amazing tool, and incredibly useful, but you should know that by default it will automatically upload all the screenshots you take anonymously to Imgur, because in the screenshot capture workflow it has “upload image to host” turned on by default. If you’re screenshotting sensitive information, you should disable this by going to “preferences-> advanced -> disableUpload” and set it to “true”

That´s the best productivity content that I've seen in years. Props for paying some attention to all the Windows folks out there.

Thank you so much for making this video! There is definitely not enough content out there about productivity tools for Windows. I switched to windows recently and was trying to find an alfred alternative and this was exactly what I was looking for.

Suprised Windows Power Toys wasn't on this list. I could not live without some of the tools it comes with such as Fancy zones, Bulk Image resizer, PowerRename, Color Picker and so many more and it's so well integrated into Windows it feels like they should just include it as standard.

For me, the biggest productivity tool is PowerToys.
More powerful window tiling/layouts (a must on ultrawide), key/shortcut remapper, OS-wide color picker, Explorer upgrades with file previews and group renaming, etc.

1:05 Optical Character Recognition in ShareX has been a gamechanger for my study - thank you so much :)

[GertjanVanderKelen]

Can't thank you enough for this list. Flow Launcher and QuickLook are literally the only parts of Mac OS I've missed since switching to Windows. Makes a world of difference!

[thomasdemontlivault]

Ok this is hands down one of the best videos I've seen recently ! So much interesting stuff : quicklook, flowlauncher, espanso, everything. Really really valuable stuff! Thanks !

[ignatcommaignatov]

Such a great list, thank you. And half the apps I hadn't heard of. I would add Stardock's Fences and Groupy, very useful utilities.

Would love to see a more in depth look into flow launcher and exspanso; seems incredibly versatile for both personal or professional settings

[Swoahu]

THANK YOU! The basic utility of QuickLook is exactly what I have been missing since I sold my Mac and built a PC. Absolutely key for photographers. I LOVE that I can pin the window and use arrow keys to navigate. This is going to make looking through my SD card after a photoshoot so much easier. I'm ashamed that I used to open dozens of Paint 3D windows just to view each photo.

[JensLarsen]

Thank you Thomas! Super useful tips. Already installing a few of them :)

[Darkrose]

Please do more of this. This is amazing and very helpful, even for my work life.

This video came in the right time… as I’m trying to expand my YouTube content, and started on writing a novel, I wanted to have some good apps to help increase my productivity and make my workflow smoother… I work on a Windows laptop and an iPad and this video came in the absolutely perfect time…

Thanks Thomas!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[Ron-tpem]

This was great and much needed. Thank You!

[EarthworksAudio]

Great video as always! You sound & look great with that ICON Pro!

[coffeenbass]

Thank you so much for this video! You’re absolutely right that it’s harder to find apps like these for Windows so really appreciate this!!

[MemphisJones]

I just stumbled across you and I've watched several vids in a row. You are on top of it buddy!!!

[musicatation]

Best video I've seen in a long time. Great productivity tips, thank you for that really !
