Programs

I have spent a long time finding the absolute best applications available on the internet. I only post open-source or free software. Each Program node has a screenshot, a license field, compatible operating systems, and a link to the company's website. Rating is enabled.

VLC Media Player

Download Link: VLC

VLC is an amazing light-weight media player. It's pretty versatile and can handle most file types that you throw its way. I like it for its speed, though I would say that its decoders aren't the greatest. I've found much better quality with paid-for apps. But hey, for being free it's pretty powerful.

Just Color Picker

Download Link: Just Color Picker

I encounter so often a neat color on a website or desktop application and want to grab that color for use in my own graphics and applications.

As a color-deficient individual I find this program to have a peculiar usefulness. When I come across a neat color and want to figure out exactly what color it is (ie. via HTML Hexidecimal or some other like manner) I use this free little application. Just Color Picker will allow you to zero in on a pixel and copy the color code equivalent to your clipboard. It's a very handy little tool.

GIMP

Download Link: GIMP

Gimp is an AWESOME image editing program. Though I'm sure I'm antagonizing a heated debate, Gimp is a sufficient alternative to Photoshop. So far I haven't come across a single feature that Photoshop has, that Gimp can't do, for free.

Disk Inventory X

Download Link: Disk Inventory X

This program is basically a Mac alternative to the very helpful Windows program: Sequoia View. Both programs are used to display the sizes and types of files on a storage device in a graphical way called "treemaps". Specifically, using the language of Sequoia View, both apps display files and folders using "squarified treemaps". When you're concerned with unnecessary files consuming a lot of your hard disk space, these apps become invaluable to disk cleanup.

CPUZ

Download Link: CPUZ

I don't really like to feature programs that have an archaic interface, but a good majority of the more useful programs out there don't have stylish, web 2.0-ish user interfaces. While the interface for CPUZ may not look very attractive, it does have a place in the tech's toolbox.
