Below you will find a list of my must have software that I always install whenever I wipe my PC or get a new PC or laptop. Will try to keep this nice and simple and straight to the point.
This list will be a WIP (Work In Progress) so if I ever find a new and interesting app that is a must have in my opinion I will be adding it to this list.
Unchecky
Unchecky is the absolute first application that I install before I even do anything else on my PC. If you are tired of having to carefully click next during every installation then you need this! Unchecky will uncheck those boxes that install a crapload of bloatware to your system so you don’t have to worry in case you miss one of those boxes and you get tricked of having something that you don’t want installed on your system.
ShareX
If you frequently take screenshots then ShareX is the best app out there for you! Easy to use and you have everything organized and easy to access if you ever need to look back for something that you had screenshotted months ago.
PeaZip
We all at some point need a program that will be able to open .zip, .rar or any other compressed/archived files and lets be honest we are all tired of having to dismiss that annoying message that WinRar will display after your trial is up. PeaZip was recently updated and has a brand new UI look and is the main compressing/arching application I am using currently.
Obsidian
Obsidian was one of those apps that I kept hearing as one of the best note taking apps. After I did my research and show some of its capabilities such as customization, community plugins and its selfhosted sync option I had to give it a try. Once I installed it and configured it for my personal needs I never looked back to any of my previous note taking applications.
OBS
If you need to do any livestreaming or screen recording then OBS is the software you are looking for. Enough said OBS has been a staple for those uses mentioned above.

Da Vinci Resolve
Da Vinci Resolve has been my video editor of choice for about 2-3 years. When I decided to move away from the subscription based Adobe CC and Premiere (my video editor of choice of that time) Da Vinci Resolve like it was suggested by many as one of the best video editors and I decided to give it a try. After couple uses I really enjoyed Da Vinci Resolve and realized that there was nothing missing compared to Adobe Premiere. The free version will work just fine no need to pay for their “pro” edition.
Medal.tv
If you are into PC Gaming then Medal.tv is something you will really enjoy grabbing those great plays or fun moments without having to worry about having to run another software like OBS record the whole session.
Discord
Best chat client specially if you are into video gaming but not just for gaming. With Discord you can create the community of your dreams or just a safe space where you can meet and talk with your firends.
WizTree
Just like their website says “The Fastest Disk Space Analyzer”.
