3 Useful Free Tools For Better Productivity - Prismaaether - Aug 12, 2026
Hey guys, just wanted to share a few free open source desktop utilities that have saved me a ton of time lately. Hopefully, these are helpful to some of the other users here.
1. Everything (by Voidtools)
An absolute must have for Windows. It is a search engine that replaces the default Windows search and instantly finds any file or folder by name across your entire drive.
2. ShareX
A powerful screen capture and file sharing tool. It lets you capture any part of your screen, record GIFs/videos, and automatically upload them to hosting sites with a single hotkey.
3. Dittox
An extension to the standard Windows clipboard. It saves every item you copy (images, text, html) and lets you access your clipboard history later using a quick hotkey menu.
Let us know if you guys use any another essential utilities, it would be a pleasure!
