The Essential Software List

I swear, General has been hella dry and lame... so here's a topic.
Add software you believe may be a very functional tool to users.

Search Everything
A simplistic design, user friendly, straight to the point search tool that works faster than the Windows crappy stock search feature.

Hyperdesktop
"Simple, fast screenshot sharing!" Use a hotkey to take a screenshot or crop a section of your screen and it will instantly upload to Imgur servers and attach the image link into your clipboard ready for sharing and pasting (ctrl+v). May be down, lag, or crash sometimes, and images from the desktop can be dragged and dropped into the software too.

f.lux
Link: f.lux: software to make your life better
Are you a kid who lives in a cave? You got no life, stuck in the dark on your computer screen with your mighty ego, but your eyes are hurting from being such a 'lol troll'? Leveling your brightness ain't good enough? This software embeds a controlled and timed (user-set) tint on your screen to adjust to the light or lack of according to the time.

VLC Media Player
Link VideoLAN - Official page for VLC media player, the Open Source video framework!
A lightweight and free software that doesn't take a shit ton long to open like other media players. If you don't have this... then idk.

uTorrent

Just because torrents. If you don't know what torrents are, you should get to know them.

f.lux is useful for me because I live in a man cave going "lol troll", thank you sifu jabuuty.
