What free programs do you use that you think we should mention in future videos? Thanks for watching :)

[EIRE]

Thank you so much, Brett. You always demonstrate and explain things very clearly and succinctly, without any fancy additions, as well as giving us all the links to try them out. You're a star!

[FUGITIVUS]

Great video. Solid suggestions. Thanks

Hi Brett,
I enjoy these videos and so glad you keep them updated. Even though I have a Goldwave licence and it is my preferred audio editor I did use to like to dabble in Audacity but stopped after their issues. Glad they have been reversed.

I recently stumbled upon the Mail client "EM client". One thing I really like about them is that when I first downloaded the program it was not very screen reader friendly. When I told the developers about this they worked on it and it is much better for screen readers now.

Great video, I already use many of tools introduced in the video. For image viewer I recommend FastStone too

[kirillvoloshin]

a couple more apps I'd like to add:
- Figma (really handy free graphical editor);
- Microsoft Powertoys (not only a must have app if you have vertical monitors, but also an app with multiple cool features);
- Dimmer brightness control software (dim your screen in case minimal brightness isn't low enough);
- anydesk (free remote control software for Windows);

Brett, if i want to remove my old HD from my Windows 10 computer and install a new blank SSD and I need to install Windows 10 on it, which software do I use: Windows Media Creation Tool or my Recovery Media Creator USB flash drive?

[Morpheus-hwbr]

You are so good. Thank You for the best recommendations!!!

Would love to see some videos on the use of NAS. Specifically Synology products and the available tools as well as best practices.

Thank you so much and I enjoy these videos

Musescore 4.0 for music notation and audio mixer features. Chrome has web apps too, like YouTube, Facebook, and others.

Still no love for Faststone Image Viewer? You know, the guy make it available for free and only sells a license for commercial use.

[avejst]

Great overview of great programs.
Love your work 👍😀

[tanvirahmed]

Very useful video,
I'm already using 70% of the softwares shown here

[technoWZ]

Could you take a look at Clam AV, an antivirus for Windows, Mac, Linux, & BSD?

Good free programs for note taking, wiki style:

1) TiddlyWiki - completely customizable and portable (browser based)
2) Obsidian - knowledgebase creation (Electron based)
3) Logseq - similar to #2 (Electron based)
4) ZIM Wiki - capable wiki style program for Windows, Mac, Linux

Easiest program to write Windows scripts to meduim sized GUI applications: AutoHotkey

Irfanview is great! I was tired of windows default photo app because It uses too much cpu and memory. Irfanview is very lightweight and It has features like random slideshaw.
