6 Free Software That Are Absolutely Awesome! (2025 Update)

[@BrettInTech]

This video has been updated removing software that is no longer available or no longer recommended. What is your favorite software that you recommend for people to check out? Thanks for watching :)

[@user.netizen11]

Revo uninstaller

[@JohnMcCormack]

@@user.netizen11 I used to love Revo but have long since moved on to BCUninstaller

[@paulbarnett227]

Davinci Resolve.

[@harris.one.hundred]

Thank you! Very helpful!

[@blackrock1961]

Thanks for this video. Most of these types of videos recommend the same software that others have recommended for years: Gimp, Audacity, etc... I was expecting this to be the same. It wasn't. You actually recommended some software that I am not familiar with.

[@OneAndOnlyMe]

On Windows, if you just want to record the whole screen, hit Windows Key + G, and use the built in high performance recorder.

[@paulbarnett227]

You missed Davinci Resolve.

[@chefmike8888]

Love me some Kodi.

[@victoriabrister1116]

The options you present are spot on. Thank you.

[@maboulofob]

Fotosketcher is actually awesome (Also there is a bot comment 1min after uploading wtf...)

[@BrettInTech]

I got rid of that comment. I hate bots! 🤖

As a long time Kodi user... it's essentially useless if you have a smart tv. Add-ons stop working and devs stop supporting them. I'm sure others will disagree, but that's been my experience.

[@indievert]

It's not useless at all because I purchased a streaming device although I had a smart TV so I could find shows from years past (and current) and watch all episodes commercial free. Basically free Netflix w/o ads.

[@MontclairsLair]

@indievert With what working add-on? They come and go and it's a pain to keep tracking down working ones. Easier just to use a web browser.

[@RaineWilder]

@@indievert He’s not wrong, just because it works today doesn’t mean it will work tomorrow. The best advice I can give is - get smart tvs that let you install a browser and use sites that you find on Google, although it’s the same problem with these sites as with the Kodi plugins, but there are more options on the web.

[@asan1050]

Thanks for your perspective.

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello Brett in Tech I enjoyed watching today's video. Question for you. Do you have a updated VPN software? That is easy to use and setup? Thank you.

[@BrettInTech]

Not yet. Maybe in the coming weeks.

[@Michael_Knight823]

I like ProtonVPN.

[@afrinurdin9545]

microsoft PC manager?

[@Michael_Knight823]

Only for Windows.

[@networkn]

[@imissmydog8279]

I use MuseScore for music notation on Windows 10. Notation software has come a long way since C-Lab Notator from my Atari ST days.

[@ashishsharma4853]

Does Kodi work like Stremio?

[@GaDawg84]

yes but there are a few differences depending on your needs

[@mhpjii]

I'm trying to learn from audio in another language . . . so I'm looking for an audiobook/audio lecture player with really convenient speed & pitch, fast-forward & fast-rewind controls. Any ideas?

[@ramnik.khanna]

@Brett in Tech, in your opinion how's Jellyfin as compared to Kodi?

[@BrettInTech]

They are very similar. I prefer the UI for Kodi and the various customization options.

JCVD, is a legend.

[@niceguy7171]

F.lux stopped working for me years ago, but luckily windows has the same feature built in now, you can turn on night mode.

[@tgonzalezcrespo]

Weird, I've been using it for years, no issues whatsoever.

[@niceguy7171]

@@tgonzalezcrespo I think it is because I changed monitors.. something i did that changed it from working im sure lol.

[@ocayaro]

CleverPDF should be on the list. Edit: it inter-converts almost any document format e.g. PDF to DOCX, PPTX, etc. It’s not nagware.

[@EIRE55]

I'd been looking for something like that, and found PDFgear which I installed a couple of weeks ago, but haven't had time to try it out yet. It was recommended.

[@raybokor2]

why not do a ham radio software recommend it will give your channel a boost

[@LambdaBam]

I remember you when your were just a little beignet gumbo grenade.

[@BrettInTech]

Thanks for remembering. I now like big beignets along with shrimp and grits. 😎

[@BrettMontgomery-yg8cd]

Like his name :)

Bleachbit- recommended by Hillary Clinton.

Free: You get what you pay for.

[@LucienSabre]

ROFL In 2005, maybe. Today, no. That’s ridiculously outdated. LMFAO

[@avalagum7957]

Sometimes, you don't get what you pay for and that is more frustrating that what you get for free 🙂

[@nordicexile7378]

There are a lot of us who program for the love of the art, and to make the world a better place. Better to say "you pay for what you get!"
