AutoHotkey is a powerful automation and scripting tool with an option to export to a self-contained executable. Possible uses include assigning the hotkey "Ctrl-Alt-F" to launch Firefox, making abbreviations expand to their full definition as you type them, or saving time by setting the computer to auto-click a confirmation screen.
The program can create entire applications and has been used to create many hosted here on PortableFreeware including 7plus, WallPaper Randomizer, Gridy and many more.
Note: Though it's bit outdated (from 2021), Pulover's Macro Creator can be used as a macro recorder and includes an "Export to AHK" function.

Everything is a powerful search tool that locates files and folders by file name instantly, and includes an FTP and Web server interface. It also can search files by their contents. Unlike Windows search, Everything initially displays all files and folders on your computer. You simply type in part of the desired file name to limit what files and folders are displayed instantly. The more you type, the more specific the list becomes.
Note that the instant-search capability only works on NTFS/ReFS-formatted drives and only uses file and folder names in a file index. The program can separately catalog non-NTFS/ReFS and network servers for searching on a schedule.

Is anybody else getting what looks like Arabic language when launching the installer? I don't want to click on any buttons because I have no idea what they mean.

Several other audio extraction tools I used to rely upon failed on me, but this one worked great. I got exactly the format I was hoping for (Opus) and it downloaded very fast. Wonderfully simple and easy. |

SpeQ is a lightweight, extensive mathematics program with a simple interface. All calculations are entered in a sheet, where you can add, edit and execute all calculations. You can define variables and functions, as well as plot graphs of your functions.
Calculations can be saved for later use.

SpeQ Mathematics 3.4 (Released 2010-04-07) (new) Function Run(filename) added, which evaluates the contents of a speq file. This way you can easily include a file with your own commonly used variables, functions, and units into all of your worksheets. (new) Function AddUnit(name {, relation}{,prefixtype}). You can now add your own custom units too. (new) Operator In for units, "x In unit". This operator is the same as function Convert(x, unit). The operator In supports lists, and the function Convert not. Example usage: "5.1 Inch In Meter", "10 °C In °F", etc. (new) Function fnSolve(f(x) {, x} {, xstart}), to find zero points of a function. (new) Binary SI units for calculations with bits and bytes. (new) Units fully support exponent suffixes now, fore example "mm2" is interpreted as square millimeter, and "m3" as cubic meter. (new) Added units: Angstrom, mil, sqmil. (changed) Implicit multiplications with units now have lower precedence than explicit multiplication and division. So for example "12V/6A" is now calculated as "(12*V)/(6*A) = 2 Ohm" instead of "((12*V)/6)*A = 2 W". (changed) Function factorial (x!) is now much faster for decimal values. (changed) Some changes in the arrangement of functions and units in the Functions window. (changed) The accuracy optimizer is improved. For example Cos(90 deg) now gives 0 instead of 7.273641325e-16. (changed) Adding and subtracting temperatures is now only allowed with the same temperature scale (for example 20 Celsius + 5 Celsius) or in Kelvin (for example 20 Celsius + 5 Kelvin), to prevent conversion issues. (changed) SpeQ uses a different degree (°) character now, which is supported by more different fonts and by the web. This character is not backwards compatible. (fixed) Bug with calculating Atan2 and Arg when Angles was set to Degrees or Gradians. (fixed) SpeQ crashed when you opened more than 9 functions in one graph. (fixed) Some problems with non-Western fonts. (fixed) Units: small rounding error in the unit foot and mile. (fixed) Units Litre and L now support prefixes. (fixed) Problem loading files with a dot in the name. (fixed) SpeQ checks now at startup whether the stored window position fits in the current screen dimensions. If not, the position is adjusted. (fixed) Various stability issues, and other small improvements. |

This is a true gem in my collection. I don't quite like recent versions (feature creep), but I still use it for 95% of my day to day calculations/graphing.

wanted to give it a try, but removed it 20secs after installation: makes the usual mistakes in setting colors and thus is unreadable on dark desktop colorschemes, and there is no way to manually set the colors. |

You know a program's good when it's written in AHK. And you also know it's going to be light on system resources. Seriously, AHK is mandatory for anyone who's serious about being productive on a computer.

I switched to this from ArsClip about five years ago and love it. Win 10 now provides some of the functionality, but Clipjump has important options, and I have it configured to store my old clipboards. (Disk space is cheap, and it's really great to get be able to find some mundane info you cut-&-pasted a few weeks earlier.) |
