I really like simple software that is built for a specific task which it then does extraordinary with a simple to understand codebase. Similar to the philosophy of suckless.org.

What are your favourite programs that “suck less”?

    I’m not a programmer (don’t know about code) but appreciate this ethos from a user’s perspective, so:

    • LosslessCut (trims, combines and separates videos without reencoding)
    • Xpano (stitches photographs/makes panoramas, easy, just works)
    • Colorway (on-screen eye-dropper for colour; gives hex code and combinations)
    • Wordbook (offline dictionary)
    • Breathing (it’s just breathing)
    • Blanket (nice background sounds)
