I may add more in the future.
ColorAbout
Three words: “FREE”, “PANTONE” and “MATCHING”.
Description
Need literally any information about a colour? Here you go. Search for Pantone, Pantone C and Pantone U colours and get hex, rgb, cmyk, hsl and more for that colour. Search a hex code or rgb code and find the closest matching Pantone (regular, C or U) match. And it’s free. Amazing!
My notes
Honestly, I mainly use this website for Pantone matching - that is, matching hex and rgb codes to their closest matching Pantone C and U colours. In my job Pantone colours are an international standard so naturally I use this website daily. I use this website for it because I refuse to pay for Pantone’s proprietary matching service.
My only piece of advice: use Firefox when visiting ColorAbout.
Otherwise, the website will require you to watch ads to use it.
Not using Firefox?
If you’re not using Firefox for whatever reason, here’s another good site that does the same thing: PantoneColors.net. I just use ColorAbout most often, so I listed that one, but this one matches just as well.

I absolutely LOVE Ditto. I use this every day without fail and every single time it’s super helpful. I love not having to open a notepad file or sticky note to keep multiple items I need to copy paste constantly.

Mire
FOSS RSS feed.

My notes
Mire is great. I originally started using it to test if my website’s RSS feed was working, but then started to use it for all RSS feeds I wanted to receive. I especially love it’s 💌 unread / 📜 read feature with the emojis. Simple and easy.
Rainmeter
Customizeable modules for your desktop.
Description
Rainmeter allows you to display customizable skins on your desktop, from hardware usage meters to fully functional audio visualizers. You are only limited by your imagination and creativity. (source)
My notes
Rainmeter is a great tool - at work I don’t exactly have a top-spec computer, so keeping an eye on my CPU is really helpful. Honestly that’s all I use it for, but there’s an abundance of skins to choose from so no doubt you’ll find something helpful to you!
