Here's a couple (albeit macOS focused) favorites of mine: - Deliveries: macOS / iOS package tracking https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deliveries-a-package-tracker/id290986013 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deliveries-a-package-tracker... - Screenotate: OCR all of your screenshots with metadata like program/webpage https://screenotate.com https://screenotate.com - The Tagger: lightweight macOS utility to tag music / fetch metadata from discogs https://deadbeatsw.com/thetagger/ https://deadbeatsw.com/thetagger/ - youtube-dl: Download any video / song online https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/ https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/ It was fun thinking of these, I actually put together a blog post a while back listing my favorite software. Would love to revisit it soon: https://lukemil.es/blog/software-i-like https://lukemil.es/blog/software-i-like

PS: youtube-dl is not macos-specific, there is a windows build and many linux distros like ubuntu have packages

  Apart from Arch, Fedora and [insert your fast-paced distro here] I wouldn't recommend to use the package manager's version of youtube-dl, because it's almost always too old. Quoting the bug section of the Readme[1] > Note that Ubuntu packages do not seem to get updated anymore. Since we are not affiliated with Ubuntu, there is little we can do. Feel free to report bugs to the Ubuntu packaging people - all they have to do is update the package to a somewhat recent version. See above for a way to update.

And for those who don't know, youtube-dl supports many, many other sites besides YouTube, including Vimeo, TikTok, Dailymotion, Twitch, YouKu, LiveLeak, Streamable and more.

  The youtube-dl crew really does a good job, when you have an issue with a supported website, just picking the last commit generally solve the problem.

I'd be careful with package tracking. While I don't know if that particular app resell your purchase data. That one is paid, so they may not need to right now, but they may change that in the future. I know many other similar (Slice, Unroll.me, etc.) products do. It's an easy, high ROI monetization strategy.
