Hi there, this is AHK once again.And in today’s video we'll find out some less known yet must have applications for Windows.
So let's get started
#1 Flux warms up your computer display at
Night Now Flux is a must have app,for everyone who works late nights in front of your computer screen.Research says,the blue light coming out of your computer screen suppresses melatonin and thus affects your sleep cycle.But this small utility automatically adjust the brightness and color of your monitor based on the time of the day.Though if you are working on photoshop So in short flux ensure you have better sleep or doing any color sensitive work, make sure to disable it.
#2 PhotoRec recover accidentally deleted files
It is a powerful data recovery software that will help you to recover accidentally deleted
files.Or even from corrupt hard driveBut unlike Recuva (which is another popular data recovery tool) PhotoRec do not have GUI.Instead, it's a command line interface and come with steep learning curve.But trust me, when it comes to data recovery,it is more powerful and have more options than any other free data recovery software.For a detail guide on how to use PhotoRec,
check out the link in the description.
#3 Eraser completely remove sensitive data
Now we know that,we can easily recover deleted files using
data recovery software. Right?But let's say we have sensitive data that we want to destroy forever.In such cases you use Eraser.This small programs overwrites your data several times
so that no other data recovery software can retrieve it.
#4 Wizmouse scroll non active windows
Let say you are working with multiple windows, like editing a document and browsing web on
chrome simultaneously, now if you want to scroll down on the browser, you will have to first click on the specific
window and then use the scroll bar on your mouse. Right?
But with wizmouse you can simply hover your mouse and start scrolling
without changing the focus on your main document.So in short it enable scrolling on non active
windows.Now this may not look big deal to some of you,but trust me in a long it does increase your productivity.Fun fact: This is default feature in Mac and
Linux, but strangely never adopted in Windows over so many years.
#5 Clip X clipboard history manager
We use copy paste options all the time.But when we copy a new text
the previous one is removed from the clipboard.Right.
So what clip X does is that it stores all your copied items whether it’s text,
image or screenshot in the separate clipboard,so that you can easily copy for later use.
#6 Spotify free music streaming app
Now I am sure most of you already know about spotify.It's the audio streaming app,that has millions of songs organised according to mood, genre, playlist etc.So instead of streaming music fromYouTube or local storage,you should use spotify.However if you are from
India or any other country where it’s not available, you can still get it using VPN.I will have the tutorial link in the description.
#7 My Lockbox hide folders on Windows
As the name suggests, my lockbox is the simple application for hiding and password protecting your folders. But unlike the default ‘hide folder’ options on windows myLockbox also hides the content of the folder from appearing in the windows search and since it also does not use any encryption like truecrypt, it’s much quicker in hiding and showing files. So Overall it is perfect folder hiding software for many average computer users.Though recently it has started coming with bloatware,so make sure you use custom installation option while running the setup.
#8 PopcornTime Stream movies from torrents
If you have to watch a tv show or a movie, you first download it from torrent and then watch it later. Right?But with popcorn time,you can directly stream the torrents while it's downloading in the background. So in short, you do not have to wait for downloading to finish. Popcorn Time is a free open source program available for all windows, mac and linux.But yeah, popcorn time itself is not illegal but if you stream copyright movies then that's illegal.
#9 Autohotkey automates keystrokes and mouse
Clicks This app is like tasker for Android i.e. it helps you to automate tedious tasks.
For instance, we have to type our email address multiple times a day, or open our favourite folder or application several times a day. So instead of doing that manually we can automate this with Autohotkey. Like if I type predefined word for my emailAddress then it will autocomplete it.Similar I can open favourite folder or application with press of a button.Now these are some very simple examples.But since it’s build in scripting language,you can do quite powerful stuff with it. And automate your life for good.
#10 ChromePass steal username and passwords
Now since you have come so far, you deserve a treat.So this next application is pure evil which lets you steal the victim's password in less than 5 seconds. So all you have to do is run this small executable on victims computer and it will show all the password the user has
saved on his or her browser. Ideally, you should use it to recovery your
lost password or check the vulnerability of your system But if you are going to have fun with your friends, go ahead, I am not going to judge you. Well these were some of the less known
yet must have programs for Windows. You can find the all the download links along
with an updated list on my blog
