I absolutely couldn’t be without SnagIt, especially the Editor for Screenshots makes my live so much easier.
I’ll add AlomWare Toolbox to this list. Been using it for years to do almost anything on my PC that gets annoying/repetitive, like typing my email and moving my app windows to where I like. The clipboard history and “Map” are great features, too.
