Are you surfing through your PC and looking for the apps that can make your life comfortable and your tasks delightful? You have hopped on to the perfect article then, here are the 7 best apps for Windows 10 that will keep you light-headed in 2021:
1. Ditto Clipboard:
Imagine your default windows clipboard but on Steroids! Ditto is an extension to the standard windows clipboard where it saves each and everything you copy onto the clipboard and then allows you to access them later as well. Now this includes all sorts of information, be it images, text, videos, basically any custom format as well. It just boosts your overall productivity so much and makes you wonder why Windows does not have such a feature by default.
2. Tablacus Explorer:
We all wish windows have a tab file explorer by default but thankfully Tablacus is a workaround to that. It is a portable open-source app so you don’t even need to install it, just download and launch it and use it as the explorer app of your choice. There’s a plus button at the top, that you can click to create more tabs. So, you can browse through different folders and all the tabs support easy drag and drop of various files and folders. You can even switch between these tabs using Ctrl tab or close these tabs by using Ctrl w.
3. Drawboard PDF:
Speaking through experience and working from home for a long time, we all wish we could get an exclusive pdf editor so that we do not have to make huge notes to support the explanation. There aren’t any free pdf editors on windows or is there?
Drawboard PDF is an app on window store which offers a plethora of features that let you easily annotate, mark, highlight, write text, insert images and what not! It also supports digital links so if you have a touchscreen PC, using Drawboard on it would be a phenomenal experience but even for a keyboard-mouse user, this is a must-have pdf editor.
4. AquaSnap:
Yes, Windows does have the default aero snap but aqua snap takes all of that features to the next level. It’s such a tiny app to offer plenty of features. You can talk about your windows and once done you can tile them as per your preference. This gives you more control over each window, unlike the default route that prefers to give them equal spaces. You can quickly stretch your app windows, move them together while they are snapped and the keyboard shortcuts make everything work way too quickly. For a normal user, the free version should suffice easily.
5. TaskbarX:
If you’re a fan of minimalism, this is your app! Most of the users installed it as a rainmeter skin but you can choose to install it as a standalone app as well. TaskbarX centers all the app icons in the taskbar, giving it a windows style dock experience. You can even customize the animations and change their speeds as per your liking.
6. Image Glass:
Image Glass is an open-source image viewer that comes in a very simple, neat, and easy-to-use interface. In this complicated world, a very friendly user interface won’t hurt I guess!
It supports over 70 different formats which include GIFS, SVG, HEIC , and even raw images. It’s super lightweight and doesn’t take a toll on your system and displays all the image information neatly in the title bar.
7. Microsoft PowerToys:
PowerToys is basically Microsoft's own collection of experimental features that are already quite stable and genuinely add a ton of functionality to the system. It has its own modern run tool which is similar to apple spotlight. We have a system-wide color picker, a quick use image resizer, and much more!
So which App has features of your choice? Let me know in the comments section!
