A computer cleaning tool.
All magical and stuff. I guess. I don’t have a particular need for it, and I don’t miss it when it’s gone, but it’s in my toolkit.

Though it can do other stuff, I use this to edit ISO images meant to be burned to a CD or DVD, to make them appropriate for copying to, and booting from, a USB stick.
Phenomenal. I wish I knew about this a long time ago. I’ve ignored many Linux distributions because of the very issue this tool solves.

A defragmentation tool for individual files.
Note that defragmentation is irrelevant with an SSD, and even with a HDD, Windows will auto-defragment if you leave it alone for a bit. For windows 8 and Windows 10, my administrative settings are so aggressive that when I’m inactive for five minutes it pokes around to see what it can defragment.

https://www.java.com/en/
One of the major programming languages.
Unfortunately, Java sucks, therefore everything made with Java sucks.
There are free and open source implementations of Java, which I have limited experience with.
