@palidev21: 5 GitHub projects that do useful work 💻 You do not have to be a developer to find something valuable on GitHub. These five help with screenshots, time awareness, storage cleanup, video conversion and a quieter video feed. 1️⃣ ShareX — a free Windows screen-capture toolkit. Take region or scrolling screenshots, record video or GIFs, annotate an image and extract text with OCR. Hotkey workflows can copy, save or upload the result. Start with local saving, then configure an upload destination only if you want sharing. 2️⃣ ActivityWatch — automatically track active applications and window titles, with an optional browser watcher for tab activity. The dashboard helps you see patterns instead of guessing where the afternoon went. Data stays on your machine by default. Choose which watchers you want; app tracking and browser tracking are separate. 3️⃣ Krokiet — the newer desktop interface in the Czkawka project. Find duplicate files, similar images, large files and empty folders, with controls for which locations to scan. It is free and open source. Review matches before deleting anything, especially similar photos that may be versions you want to keep. 4️⃣ HandBrake — convert video files into supported MP4, MKV or WebM output on Windows, macOS and Linux. Built-in presets make a starting point easier, and a queue handles multiple jobs. Adjust audio, subtitles and quality for the device or use case. Smaller files can mean lost quality; keep your original while testing. 5️⃣ FreeTube — an independent desktop YouTube client with local subscriptions, profiles, playlists, history and interface controls. Follow channels without signing into Google, use a mini player and reduce distractions. Requests still reach YouTube or a configured intermediary, so local history does not mean complete anonymity. Upstream changes can affect playback. Official GitHub repositories: ShareX/ShareX • ActivityWatch/activitywatch • qarmin/czkawka • HandBrake/HandBrake • FreeTubeApp/FreeTube.
