hey guys Matthew bonus here and welcome to five free amazing apps you can be
using on your Windows laptop right now now these are not mind-blowing but I
think they're good they're worth a mention and maybe some of you out there
haven't heard of them and can be using them on a daily basis now the first one
I want to talk about is a reddit app and it's called readin that it has tons of
applications for it but most of them are kind of clunky disorganized and they
don't just do a good job this one you can actually get in the Windows Store
and it's called read it read it is super simple it's clean it has this nice black
theme which I think looks fantastic and the reason why I like it so much is
because it keeps reddit organized on the left-hand column you have all your
subscriptions and when you tap on a subscription you can see all the
conversations or all the Redditt you can click on that Reddit and then another
column opens up and it brings you to the web page or the YouTube video of
whatever the post is talking about but if you continue to scroll down below the
page or the YouTube video you get all the comments to that reddit post so it
just keeps everything nice and organized so you never have to worry about jumping
back and forth to get the information the next app is an ad blocker it happens
to be the sponsor of this video now there's tons of ad blockers out there
but I've been using stop out for a little while I actually really like it
it's a good product it works cross-platform so on your Mac and and
your PC and it does a beautiful job of blocking ineffective ads so whether you
use Chrome Mozilla Firefox Safari ie or even Microsoft edge it's gonna block
your ass so it also works on social websites like Facebook and YouTube you
also have these great features like rules where you can create these custom
rules to basically allow certain websites to display on so let's see how
a bunch of publishers or creators like myself you want to support you can
whitelist our YouTube page or web page and still see the ads and support those
creators at the same time the beautiful thing too is and also keeps your privacy
protected so you're not gonna have data trackers add trackers following you
around on social media or on the websites there's it's gonna prevent
phishing schemes from happening to you and the best part about is you'll have
to worry about any cryptocurrency miners using your computer to mine Bitcoin
there's 24/7 support so you can click on one of the links in their application
you can basically live chat with somebody and they'll help you with any
of your causes and on top of that it also works on iOS and Android if you're
interested in checking stop out I'll place a link in the
description down below the third app is a to-do list it's Wunderlist a lot of
you have probably already heard of it or have used it on your mobile devices but
they actually have a Windows app available to use it looks just as clean
it's just as effective and I love wunderlist because of how powerful it is
not only does it keep me organized with my videos to-do lists with ideas for my
family channel or even just things I need to buy I can also cross collaborate
with it so if I have someone working with me I can share my notes they can
share their notes and we can tie the stuff in order to complete these certain
tasks now if you game you've definitely heard of OBS it stands for open
broadcaster software it's the best recording and live-streaming tool there
is on the Internet it also works cross-platform so you can use it on your
Windows PC you can use it on your Mac and you can use it on Linux I know it's
a very popular piece of software but it's important for me to talk about
because it's a great tool even if you don't live stream gaming so let's say
twitch or YouTube gaming it's just great to have for those days that you need to
record something on your screen and use it let's say in a video for presentation
at school or even at your job now on top of that you can also set up scenes so
for instance in this example I have two scenes going on right now I have one
scene which is basically capturing my display and the other scene is the
webcam it's recording it all to the same file so I can easily use it later and
the last one is very simple this is the one-click
downloader for YouTube you get this in the Windows Store and it's better than
any other website I've ever used there's tons of websites that allow you
to strip YouTube videos and download them but the problem with them is
there's tons and tons of ads associated with them also a lot of them don't let
you download those videos in 4k I like to get my videos in 4k because the
quality is better and when you strip it from YouTube the data is already small
enough anyways that it's not going to take a big toll on your hard drive
now what click downloaded does have ads as well but they don't pop up they just
surround basically the box where you input the video link after you input the
video link you basically get another box which allows you to select the quality
you want to download it in and last up or two honorable mentions and the reason
why they're not in the main list is because you have to pay for some of them
and the first one is Spotify I'm not talking about Spotify that you use in
your web browser I'm talking about the Spotify app from the Windows Store use
this one over the web browser and the reason why I suggest that
is because you have a lot more controls with your volume controls if you use it
in the web browser you can't pause and play the music unless you tab back to
the Spotify browser but if you have the app installed that you use the app no
matter what application you're in at the moment if you push the pause key for
music it's gonna pause the song instead of doing absolutely nothing so little
things like that just make using Windows 10 a lot more effective and the last
honorable mention goes to news I love this thing because it's super clean I'm
obsessed with having a clean email inbox I love Gmail I use Gmail as my email
account I just don't use it to browse my email I'd rather use this because I can
aggregate all my email accounts under one program and I can tab through them
by using the ctrl key the beauty of it is you can do certain things you can't
in Gmail like for example I can schedule and send an email at a later time I also
get read receipts so as soon as I send an email to somebody
I'll know when they read it I just think these little tools make the email
process a lot more effective so that pretty much wraps up my top 5 favorite
apps and two honorable mentions that I'm using on my Windows laptop right now now
