IsoCue
Browser teleprompter
The solo teleprompter that listens and follows your script.
Read at your own pace and the script scrolls with you. Stop and it waits; skip ahead and it finds your place. When you're done, a take review marks what you missed, added or stumbled on. Mirror mode for glass rigs, voice commands, and it can be installed so it works offline.

SoundDeck
Windows soundboard
A soundboard that plays straight into your Discord, Zoom or OBS mic.
Hit a pad, a hotkey or a Stream Deck key and the sound goes out on your mic, mixed with your voice. Trim, loop and fade sounds, sort them into banks, and give each one an icon that shows up on your Stream Deck too. Works with USB mics and interfaces like the Scarlett 2i2.

Plume
Windows video editor
A lightweight video editor with a bulk encoder built in. A quick tool for quick edits.
I edit in a full professional app every day, and I still find myself wanting something quicker to open. No project to load, no menus to dig through, no sequence settings to fill in before you can drop a few clips on a timeline and cut. The encode formats you reach for most are ready to go, and it can convert a whole batch at once.

Holy Shift
Windows app
Listens while you talk and beeps you the second you swear.
It transcribes on your own machine, catches anything on the blacklist, and makes a very loud noise about it. Pick your beep, edit the list, teach it what isn't a swear. The audio is thrown away as it goes and the transcript disappears when you stop — the only thing kept is the count, so you can watch it drop. Or not.

Sync Timeline
Premiere Pro plugin
Syncs a whole timeline of camera clips to recorder audio in one click.
Premiere's Synchronize handles one clip set at a time. This does the whole sequence, by timecode or by matching the audio itself, in a new copy of the sequence, so your original is never touched. It can trim every take flush, too.

Installing on a Mac
A Mac doesn't need an installer. Double-click the .ccx file you just downloaded.
The Creative Cloud app asks you to confirm, since the plugin isn't from the Adobe Marketplace, then installs it.
If double-clicking doesn't work, the install guide has a fallback.
PPTX Slide Exporter
Windows app for PowerPoint
Splits PowerPoint decks into one file per slide: a PNG when it's still, a video when it moves.
Built out of necessity, after one too many afternoons exporting the same decks twice (once as images, once as video) and cutting them back together in an editor. It checks every slide for animations, embedded video and transitions, exports only the format that slide needs, and works through a whole stack of decks at once.

Stay Awake
Windows utility
Keeps Windows from sleeping, dimming, or starting the screensaver.
For long renders, long uploads, and long meetings where your status keeps going amber. Toggle it on, forget about it, toggle it off. It asks Windows directly, so it never wiggles your mouse.

YouTube Downloader
Windows app
Paste a YouTube link, get the video or just the audio.
Video comes down at the best quality there is, merged into one MP4. Audio comes as an MP3 with the title and cover art filled in. Paste a whole list of links at once and they download side by side, straight into the folder you pick.
Expect to update this one. YouTube changes how it serves videos every few weeks, and each change can stop downloads working until the engine inside (yt-dlp) catches up, usually within days. If downloads start failing, grab the latest installer here. The version it's running is in the bottom corner of the app.

Windows will warn you on first run
The installers aren't code-signed. A certificate costs a few hundred dollars a year, which is hard to justify for tools I share with friends, so Windows shows a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen the first time.
Click More info, then Run anyway. You'll only see it once. Everything
installs under your own account: no admin password, and uninstall from Settings → Apps.
