Windows, free, not well known/talked about?

Hands down qttabbar. Adds tabbed browsing to Explorer. Absolutely no idea why this isnt built into Windows, I've used it for some years & hate using a Window machine without it.

More well known:

Joplin. Markdown note taking app. Also has a portable version (I use this over the .exe version). Can be set up to sync with your other (multi OS) devices
ShareX. Screenshot clipper. Has a learning curve but the initial pain is worth it. Greenshot is a good portable alternative
TeraCopy. File transfer tool. Much faster & far more reliable than Explorer copy/paste
Everything. File search utility. Use this once & you'll absolutely hate having to endure using the built in Explorer search. Also has a portable version

I use 'Everything' daily. So teracopy actually has faster speeds with data transfer?
