What are the coolest (privacy respecting) apps you have?
Title says it all. I'll go first:
I don't really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

Everything search app is easily my most used on my Windows PC. Instant, as-you-type file search by name with detail sorting and wildcard support. I set a keyboard shortcut as well. It puts Explorer search to shame. As good as Spotlight, which I was missing from when I had a Mac in 2008.
LaunchyQT - modern fork of Launchy that actually gets development. App launcher, dead simple.
FanControl - Fan curve software with all the features I want including hybrid temp sources, sensible automatic settings, visual graphs with an intuitive interface.
AutoHotKey - Hotkey scripting language that I can use even as someone who barely codes.
Transcribe! - Not open-source but it's a reasonably priced audio and video slow down app for transcribing.
Spotlight, which I was missing from when I had a Mac in 2008
Amazing that Spotlight is that old!
If you use the 1.5 beta version of Everything Search, you can even sort videos by their image/video width and height, audio bitrate, video bitrate, duration of audio/video and such parameters you find in Windows Explorer's custom file attributes section.
