Image sharing application. Press hotkey (you can set them) > select the region or application you want to take a picture (or video) of, it'll upload them to whatever site/service you select, and paste the sharable link to your clipboard. This is it in action; https://kitte.cat/SQdl, and this is the image I took in the video; https://kitte.cat/OgEL. As for UploadX, it's just a serverside application for accepting uploads.

Yep, pretty much. Except the way that I use it is where it's uploaded to my own servers so I can have total control. You can use ShareX to upload to Imgur, and Puush amongst many others.

        VisualBoyAdvance-M - Nintendo Gameboy/Color/Advance emulator
        Zsnes - Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulator

Media:
    Audio:
        Audition - adobe audio editor, audacity is just as good and free but this links with other adobe programs
        MediaMonkey - Imagine if itunes didn't suck

    Documents:
        AzwSoft Kindle AZW DRM Removal - removes drm from any ebooks I buy so I can read them wherever I want
        Bulk Rename Utility - Makes it easy to add things like numbers in front of names for book series so files appear in chronological order instead of alphabetical
        Calibre - allows for the renaming of ebooks so books are not just a massive heap once put in a collection
        Kindle - keeps track of all my Voyage's ebooks
        TTFA PDF Split and Extract Pages - takes apart pdf files, handy for when you only want part of a manual

    Pictures:
        Photoshop - the gold standard for photo editing

    Video:
        After Effects - for scene editing in adobe premiere
        Hypercam - simple screen recording program. I like it better than fraps but evidently I'm the minority.
        Premiere - switched to this after sony vegas refused to work properly
        SMPlayer - switched to it because vlc player started to suck and have lots of gray loading scenes.

Office:
    Firefox - my go-to browser as ie/edge sucks, google is spyware (nice eula), and the others don't have enough support.
    LibreOffice - free, better running microsoft office alternative.
    Notepad++ - best text program out there. Great for making multiple lists.

System:
    Utorrent - torrent program.
    7+ Taskbar Tweaker - gets rid of that awful "show desktop" icon and a few other tweaks.
    7-Zip - best file compression software hands down.
    CCleaner (with ccenhancer addon) - best junk cleaning program there is.
    Eraser - Military grade file eraser.
    Foxit Reader - fastest pdf reader and lets you "print" web pages as locally saved pdf files.
    IrfanView - image viewing program, so much better than the stock microsoft one.
    Malwarebytes anti-malware - I purchased the lifetime license for $20 before it was discontinued and I love this program.
    Media Preview - removes file borders like that stupid video reel. Also adds image previews to all media files.
    Nvidia Geforce - must have for nvidia graphics card owners.
 

Browser Addons:
    Bamboo Feed Reader - rss feed reader, can display as a popup menu without changing your current page.
    BetterPrivacy - deletes lso media cookies that are not normally deleted and can be used as spyware.
    Blur - password manager & anti tracking program.
    CanvasBlocker - fakes your browser's signature to make browser fingerprinting more difficult.
    Classic Theme Restorer - provides much needed options to firefox's ui. Like making the url bar positionable and removing extra crap/changing buttons and spacing.
    Cleanest Addon Manager - gives a more compact view of your about:addons page.
    Decentraleyes - prevents 3rd parties getting between you and your connections to snoop.
    Download Cleaner - clears successfully downloaded files from your downloads manager automatically.
    Download YouTube Videos as Mp4 - downloads any youtube video in up to 720p quality and avoids content protection download blocking.
    FasterFox - changes page loading and pipelining settings for a faster browsing experience.
    HTTPS-Everywhere - forces https encryption whenever possible.
    Image Zoom - allows for zooming in on too small images and image rotation.
    Linkification - makes text links clickable whenever possible.
    Menu Wizard - allows for editing of basically all firefox menus including context menu to remove clutter or rearrange features.
    NoScript - protects from untrusted website's scripts and script based attacks.
    QuickDrag - any highlighted text that is dragged is automatically searched in default search engine.
    Self-Destructing Cookies - deletes cookies from any site you don't tell it to remember the second you leave the page. Can remember cookies until log out or forever.
    Smart Referer - prevents websites from seeing what page you are visiting them from.
    Stylish (BM themes, Black youtube & Google by Panos, project abe, wikipedia - black background, light text) - uses css to recolor and reposition/hide elements of websites.
    Tab Mix Plus - provides much needed tab management improvements to firefox.
    Ublock Origin (Adblock Warning removal list, Anti-Adblock Killer, Easylist, EasyPrivacy, Malware Domains, Fanboy's Annoyance List list) - Like adblock plus but with a smaller footprint and a wider diversity of block lists built in for users that don't know how to find and add their own lists.
    X-notifier lite - email notifier, very efficient and simple to use.
    YouTube High Definition - much needed improvements to youtube's default video preferences.
