Since there was a recent post about software everyone should know... what are some lesser-known gems you're actually willing to pay for?

I recently came across a post asking:

It got me thinking...

What are some lesser-known applications that you think deserve way more recognition?

They don't have to be open source. Free, paid, or commercial, anything goes.

I would start first: Potplayer >> VLC.

I'm also curious if there are any paid apps that you genuinely feel are worth every penny because they're just that good.

Would love to discover some hidden gems that most people haven't heard about.

Valerian_ Yeah I agree, I switched to 7-zip more than 20 years ago when it started to get popular, I have only ever used Winrar for like 2 or 3 years. Aug 4 1 like
AndrewSS02 Because before there was 7 zip. WinRAR did it all with no errors. 7zip would cancel and say there's an error. WinRAR said fuck it and unzipped it anyway. So at one point in your life as a software guy or a Pirate, you definitely used WinRAR for a bit. It's good to pay back once in a while. Same with donating to VLC. It's a good way to pay back when you financially can. Aug 4 1 like
