Applications I can't live without

[TopWargamer]

I'll simply list and briefly describe each. These are some of my favorite applications for Windows and Android, and I don't think I could ever use another computer or phone again without them. Just felt like making this list for you all. Enjoy, and share some of your own.

 

Windows

 

Puush - Lets you easily take screencaps and uploads them. Also accepts gifs.

Epic Browser - It does the same thing as TOR, but not in the same way as TOR. One way or the other, you'll stay anonymous and get a very speedy browser.

Handbrake - Lets you convert any video file to the .MP4 or .MKV format. It's great for compressing videos as well, and older versions of it allow you to choose the target file size.

DXTory - Like Fraps, but when recording, it's more lightweight. You can also use the Lagarith Lossless Codec in order to record long videos for half the size of what it should be, without losing any quality.

UTorrent - 'Nuff said.

Android

 

Colornote - Allows you to quickly make notes and color-cote them. Also allows you to pin notes to your status bar. I prefer this over Evernote because of how simplistic it is.

K-9 Mail - An "all-in-one" email client. You can hook up multiple email accounts into this one application. Great for email organization if you have more than 1 email.

BBQScreen - Allows you to stream your Android screen to your computer at a "low enough" latency.

Nandroid Manager - Allows you to easily restore apps, data, messages, phone calls, and much more from ROM backups.

Greenify - Allows you to set apps to not run at all (even in the background) unless you are currently using that app. Great for helping to save battery life.

Lux Auto Brightness - I haven't messed around with this app as much as I should, but it's much better than the built-in auto brightness in Android. Also allows you to manually set your brightness as high or low as you want, no restrictions.

KickAssTorrents - 'Nuff said. 

(This app you will have to find. Directly linking to it would be linking to a torrent site, and I'm pretty sure that's super no bueno here on LTT.)

 

Pimp My ROM - Allows you to make some pretty awesome changes to your *rooted* Android phone. Essential app for any rooted phone users.

SMS Popup - Does what it says it does. SMS text messages popup on your screen, and you can respond back to them without having to go back to your messaging app. 

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.everythingandroid.smspopup

 

SetCPU - Allows you to make custom profiles and adjust your CPU's speed. Great for conserving battery life when needed. 

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mhuang.overclocking

 

Solid Explorer - In my opinion, this is easily the best file explorer for Android out there. 

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer

 

Swiftkey - In my opinion, easily the best keyboard for Android. 

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey

 

Zedge - Allows you to download just about any and all types of ringtones, notification sounds, wallpapers, etc.

I'd make a list for Chrome/Firefox, but it's a short list and it's all extensions that all of us know (or should know) about, such as Adblock, HTTPS Everywhere, and Stylish.

I like to combine Dxtory with OBS, just to add extra confusion to recording stuff.
