Directory
Software and Online Tools is the everyday toolbox of the directory. Linux and macOS software covers desktop apps, package sources, and utilities for both systems. Browser tools and extensions come next, with add-ons that change how pages look or work. Text and writing tools hold editors, grammar helpers, and formatting utilities, while text editors and formatting lists the code-focused editors and their plugins. System utilities covers disk, file, and maintenance tools, and media players and servers collect apps for playing and streaming your own files. File utilities, hardware and diagnostics, notes and knowledge management, PDF tools, and RSS readers fill out the rest of the list. Many entries are small projects from individual developers, so support and update schedules vary. Read the listing and check the licence before you install anything you plan to use at work.
