Like a good Linux window manager, allSnap allows Windows' applications to snap to the main screen area or to one-another.

That is, when dragging or resizing a window, it will try to cling to a nearby window. This makes it easier and faster to adjust windows "just right".

  • Works on 32 and 64-bit Windows.
  • Run both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions to cover all applications.
  • 2017-09-01 - 1.5.0 beta on Windows 10 64bit

    • It's been working just fine for some time now.
    • The website is gone.
  • As of 2016-02-11, it hasn't been updated since 2010-07. (source)

A console text editor.

Jed does radical new things, such as allowing the user to use tab to insert a "tab" character. It represents an incredible new frontier of usability. Oh, and it has a menu, like any real program would.

Unfortunately, it's misconfigured and there are no clues as to how to fix it. So it's useless.

A remote-control tool that can be used without firewall configuration. Port scanner and Trace Route, drag&drop files, get system passwords, Power-down or Wake-Up remote PCs.

By far the most impressive piece of software I've ever used. It's tiny and does the impossible. But it made enemies.

  • It was said to be coming out for OS X, but never did.
