Windows software article

Quick start: Firefly sauce > WOX

Quick start app, Alfred for Windows.

Quick start application + file search + various utility plug-ins (calculator, translation, quick web access, etc.).

My favorite, I’m almost half crippled without it.

Initially, altrun was used, then Listary was tried, and WOX was found to be the most convenient, increasing efficiency by 100%.

Firefly sauce with WOX:

I switched to firefly sauce in the second half of ’18. Firefly sauce is based on the branch of WOX to do expansion, secondary development. Firefly sauce was initially rejected in the spirit of open source. With the deep reliance on WOX, the expectations for richer functionality are growing. After observing for a while, I found that the update frequency of WOX is getting lower and lower. Firefly Sauce team is good, there are still some ideas, which are basically the same in use, but the most important thing is to look better. So I switched to firefly sauce.

Search tool: Everything

Second to find various files in the computer. Perfect integration with WOX and firefly sauce.

Download tool: IDM

Multi-threaded download HTTP class file download tool, leverage. Chrome downloads are hosted to IDM, can download Baidu Cloud offline files, break the download speed limit.

Can not do BT download, use thunderbolt download or Aria2 to cooperate with the processing.

Screenshots: Snipaste

Open source, free domestic screenshots artifact. Give me the biggest feeling is more convenient screenshots than QQ screenshots tools and so on.

Preview tool: QuickLook

Press Spaces to get a quick preview of files, free apps in the Microsoft Store.

I used seer before, but when I found QuickLook, I abandoned it.

Clipboard tool: Win10 system cloud clipboard > Ditto

You don’t have to worry about finding what you just copied.

In Win10 17666 version after the increase of cloud clipboard function, Windows key + V shortcut key, you can open the clipboard history content, move up and down, for the selection of content.

Structured notes: Workflowy/curtain

Make lists,not war.

I use it to keep track of various to-do lists at work, break down tasks, and sort out logic.

Workflowy and curtain:

Curtain is a domestic version of Workflowy, curtain on the basis of Workflowy to do some innovation, recently rumored to be acquired by bytedance, also good.

Markdown writing tool: Typora

Personal favorite Markdown writing tool, what you see is what you get.

Mapping tool: PicGo

Open source free, support a variety of graph bed, powerful, beautiful interface. It is worth mentioning that the developer is also a student in China, which is great.

View tool: 2345 View king

Domestic software, although the name with a bit of shanzhai feeling, and consistent rogue behavior. But it’s really useful to look at pictures.

Compression software: BandZIP

Clean without ads.

Players: PotPlayer and Splash

Powerful, clean and comfortable.

Screen recording tool: LICEcap

Better than GifCam.

Email clients: YoMail and Mailbird

Mailbird: Almost every year, it is rated as “the best mail client for Windows”.

YoMail: The domestic Mailbird is more in line with our Chinese taste, you know.

After years of using Foxmail, you may want to consider changing your taste after dealing with email every day. New email session mode, interactive experience, worth a try.

Remote tool: TeamViewer

Use the powerful free cross-platform remote desktop control software (PC and phone). Much better than QQ remote assistance.

Taskbar Desktop Time calendar: life calendar

Taskbar right corner time display + calendar, etc. Convenient and easy to use, at a glance.

Software manager: QQ software manager

QQ software butler can be installed separately (360 software butler is not allowed), do not install a series of XX security guards, butlers and so on.

To the software installation, uninstall, upgrade and other management is very convenient, personal or feel good.

Java development Tools

IDE: IntelliJ IDEA

It has been used for some years. I still remember when I started using IDEA 11, I was attracted by its efficiency and smoothness, and then I abandoned Eclipse decisively. It was also because from IDEA, I realized the importance of tools and went further and further on the road of tossing tools.

IDEA plug-in private collection

  8. Key Promoter X

    For the keyboard stream, when you use the mouse, it will tell you what the shortcut for the current operation is, and it will pop up a nasty prompt that requires you to click the mouse to close. Until your natural instinct is to use the shortcut keys instead of the mouse in order to avoid that uncomfortable pop-up. The purpose of the plug-in is achieved, and I like this plug-in very much.

  9. Maven Helper

    The Maven plug-in can be installed to see dependencies and conflicts at a glance.

Text editor: Sublime

The Sublime opens faster and feels cleaner than Atom.

Database client: DataGrip

All major databases in one client. No need to install Navicat, PLSQL.

DataGrip itself was just an integrated function module in IDEA before it was taken out as a stand-alone product. But an independent application window, in the development process, it is more convenient to use.
