Thanks for the good vid! Picked up a new laptop with Win11, and decided to dual-boot it with PopOS and Win11, and this vid had a few new surprising(ly) good apps, and some trusty old ones (love ShareX!). Anyway, you have my sub!
I have learned more from your video than I ever learned going at a "learning center"...thanks a million.
Ah thank you so much, really happy to hear the video was useful, thanks for the comment! :)
I would still prefer Firefox, IMO its much better than the chromium browsers out there.
Appreciate that. A lot of people have recommended the zen browser which is based on Firefox so that could be good alternative if you wanted similar functionality to arc let's say
Arc is unreliable and slow. I couldn't use it.
I've been testing it out recently for a future video and I've found it to be a little confusing and that zen seems to be a better choice for similar functionality on windows.
@@Productive_Tech Zen Browser is based on Firefox so it's even slower.
Powertoys can do all these tasks and more.
Awesome video🙂
I appreciate that thank you! Keep an eye out for more windows apps videos as I plan to have a couple released some time in the near future :D
The reason why I don't use Nilesoft Shell is because in the right-click menu on the desktop, at "New...", there isn't a Shortcut option.
@@srsstr84 Didn’t realise that so appreciate the insight! :)
EarTrumpet is a good pick
@@leftclot I covered it in this slightly older video linked below in addition to a few other applications. Feel free to check it out below. ruclips.net/video/mancFyhy0Hk/видео.html
One like for Sumatra pdf been using for a while very fast very reliable
PDFGear is my choice against of sumatra
Why would you ever block XDA-developers
Find To Do actually quite useful as a task manager. One thing in its favor is that notifications are persistent until dismissed so never miss anything
Never heard of it, but I'll be sure to check it out, thanks for the comment once again! :D
Fastkeys is my favourite. Text expansion, macro recorder, mouse gestures, custom menus and more. Available as a portable app also so can use at work. Not free but inexpensive. Not associated in any way - just my favourite tool
No worries, appreciate the suggestion, I'll look into it, thanks! :D
You forgot to mention PowerToys! It is a MUST app for any windows user! So much features (including some of flow launcher) are included!
Don't worry, a dedicated power toys video on the way soon along with more windows app videos so keep an eye out for those! :)
@@Productive_Tech ty!
I've been using OneNote for years, but i learned a few things here. I really like your quick pace....great video
Thanks so much for the comment, I really appreciate it! Glad the video was useful for you! :)
whats that laptop you using ?
My laptop is the XPS 15 9510. I’ve been using it for around 3 years and made a video on it here if you’re interested :) ruclips.net/video/j-g7ng-chqA/видео.htmlsi=3Ut1jy4qQGbb2iNo
@Productive_Tech I don't find that video in your channel. Found it
No worries, I had put a direct link in my last comment so feel free to refer to it if you need it again :)
Brilliant video. Ive been looking into switching to One Note for several days. Glad I found this video
You’re most welcome! Glad it was useful, and thank you for your comment! :)
Thanks man
You’re most welcome! Great to see your comment once again :D
@Productive_Tech hey i was thinking that if you will consider making video on foss apps too There are great projects in github , sourceforge and gitlab
Make video on tiny10 tiny11
Thanks for the suggestion, it’s likely I’ll add this as part of another windows apps video at some point in the future so keep a look out for that! 👍
Great video, as always. I just wish they included password protected notes.
Ah thanks a ton and great to see your comment again :) Yep, I have to agree there, it would be a great QOL feature. I’m currently in the process of switching from OneNote to Obsidian but that’s something for another video I think XD
Is there any way to get in touch? You should create a Discord server or something.
Great to see your comment again! :D To be honest, I haven't really considered that at this stage, especially being such a small channel at the moment. It's definitely something I can consider going forwards if it's something many other viewers would like to see :)
@@Productive_TechI think you should at least keep some options open for contact, in case any company wants to reach out to you.
@@Hi-HK Appreciate that. I've considered it previously and so I'm currently working on it in the background... I've just got a few different commitments on for now so will be a while before I consider brand deals/sponsors etc but thanks for the advice! :)
Everything (void tools) is best ❤
Great thanks! :D
Video about Removing bloatware and fix ram usage, or just making window 11 better
Will consider this, thanks for the comment 👍
I've also heard that by pressing the like button the electrons inside your battery will give you bonus battery HP :D Though you might also like to check out this video on google chrome extensions next! ruclips.net/video/5yuKyG2A4h4/видео.html
Kde connect is good too and it is open source. Zen browser has many functions like arc but it is open source as well.
Thanks for the comment! Yep, agree there especially as many other commenters have also mentioned similar. Only had chance to cover 10 apps in this video and there are many out there, so more videos are on the way soon! :D
Norton security brooo
Haha lol XD
Finally a good guide for OneNote. 👍🏻
Much appreciated and glad it was useful, thank you! :)
That collection thing in edge is really useful. Just put random things you see on internet in a collection. You can also add notes for clarity.
Appreciate the comment! Admittedly in reflection, I might of glossed over elements which I considered to be "bloat" but like with most apps and tools out there, they often serve everyone differently. Interesting to hear how you make use of the collections feature 👍
Here before this channel blows up
Haha XD Thanks so much!!! Amazing to see your comment once again!
Man Found your Channel through your Most viewed video, I like your content, I actually don't have a Device for now, I have been planning to Buy the Xps15 9510 4k as a used one. I saw your Bunch of videos 😅, But the Good work man, I am saving your Videos so that I can Apply this when i finally Have the device.
Ah thanks so much! Really glad to hear the videos are helping people out there! 😁No worries, feel free to refer to them as needed when you get your device whatever it may be! (I'm sure you've seen my XPS 15 review video...) I have many more windows, computer and website videos on the way soon, so be sure to keep an eye out for those 👀 Thanks once again, I appreciate the comment!
Yes I have seen Your xps15 review video, I agree with you about xps being the premium of windows like every thing is there gaming, the Built, the esthetics😅, are all there, it's like a MacBook of windows in my Opinion.@@Productive_Tech
Yep the MacBook of windows fits the description very well! XD Though that also goes for the thermals unfortunately :( for me I can make do with the trade offs but again it's a personal preference thing I think
Sorry ... You are talking much to fast ... I can't follow you.
Apologies if it’s a little fast, I’ve found most viewers are happy with this pace. You can always slow the playback down from the RUclips player controls. Hope that helps
If you are still learning english as a non-native speaker, which I presume, then capping yourself at a slow pace isn't going to get you anywhere.
Everything is my favorite program for Windows. But until now I didn't know about Flow launcher! Now I'm very happy!
No worries, glad I was able to help! :D
Bro switch from evil to evil, congrats
XD lol
😂 It's good that I use Android and it's simpler
Evernote is improving week by week these days. Cost is raised as an issue, but for me works out at about one coffee per week. Given how much I use it, easily worth the price
Fair point, alongside the breakdown of the cost. While it was the driving factor for me it wasn’t the cost of the app itself but rather due to the fact that I had a free decent attentive available for me which was OneNote, as it’s part of the office applications. Believe it or not I’m currently in the process of testing out the obsidian application and seeing whether that works for me any better, as something that I would value going forward, is having more control of the notes themselves. I found the value of this when trying to export from Evernote to OneNote as the only way to get out of Evernote is via exports and often being in a propriety format. But yes it worked well for me for many years but I thought it was a good point for me to move on
Not sure about the others, but one advantage of Greenshot is that available as a portable app so can use from a USB in a locked down work environment
Thanks for the added info! Personally I don’t use portables all too often but definitely a good benefit. I’ll keep this in mind for future videos as it was something that I had come across in my research but didn’t include it for conciseness. Appreciate the comment :D
@@Productive_Tech Yes I wouldn't use them either except for the fact that my workplace (like many) is very restrictive when it comes to what you can install. So I have portable versions of Greenshot, Notepad++, AutoHotKey and FastKeys (a very helpful application) which all help a lot with work
Interesting to hear your use case, I've never heard of FastKeys, thanks for sharing, I'll check it out! :D
Max Focus looks potentially useful thanks. Extensity (extension manager), TrufflePiggy (search multiple sites at once), LastPass, Evernote clipper, Text Blaze (text expansion), Google Calendar Checker Plus are the extensions I use daily
No worries, thanks for the comments and the suggestions, I'll be sure to check them out! :)
Love your content! Thanks for sharing!
Ah thanks so much! Great to hear the videos are useful! Thanks for your comment! :D
Thank you. This has been very useful in helping me to find a solid power house for a variety of tasks for a family member.
You’re most welcome :) I generally kept the review focused on real world aspects/use-cases. As opposed to just numbers and performance metrics, so glad to hear it was useful! :D
Propietary format? No thank you.
I’ve recently been looking for an alternative for this very reason, what do you suggest/use? I’m currently testing out obsidian
Bro what laptop is that?
My laptop is the XPS 15 9510. I’ve been using it for around 3 years and I've made a detailed review video on it here if you’re interested :) ruclips.net/video/j-g7ng-chqA/видео.htmlsi=3Ut1jy4qQGbb2iNo
Most important extension: uBlock Origin
Yep, a decent suggestion also
I'm already using Everything, Flow launcher, Arc browser, Sumatra pdf & Sejda PDF. subscribed
Ah thank you so much for subscribing! Glad the video was useful and thanks for watching! More videos on the way soon :)
1:19 Fluent Search is a better alternative to Flow Launcher, and it too has many plugins. It is available on the Microsoft store.
Appreciate the suggestion! Wasn’t aware of that, will check it out and maybe include it in a future video. Thanks! :)
Which laptop are you using
My laptop is the XPS 15 9510. I’ve been using it for around 3 years and I've made a detailed review video on it here if you’re interested :) ruclips.net/video/j-g7ng-chqA/видео.htmlsi=3Ut1jy4qQGbb2iNo
Nice video. Even I used edge for about a year. But then the minimalist experience of chrome, better account syncing functionality, I just can't switch back to edge. Because yeahh, it is cluttered
Thanks! I appreciate the comment! Yes that was my overall consensus as well. I know a lot of people have suggested the Zen browser though so I'm in the process of checking that out at the moment :D
You didn't use the full potential of Edge! Edge is Chrome + More but with less system resources! It's definitely an upgrade from Chrome to Edge
Apologies if I missed things, I only switched to it for a short time to test it out. Might check it out again at some point in the future :)
Seems like you are inspired by BOG , ANYWAYS THANK YOU FOR EXTENSION LIST ✨
You're welcome!
