I've used TextExpander for years. Let's you program long and/or often used phrases, paragraphs, code, etc. and have them "expand" with a short custom phrase. Something I completely rely on while also thinking that I could do so much more with it.

Also, GuideGuide, a super powered guides panel for Photoshop. Another one I've used for years and it's the first thing I use on every new file.

Both of those tools probably have plenty of (and possibly superior) alternatives and competitors now, but I'm so used to them and how they remove friction in my processes, I don't even seek out the alternatives. Just goes to show the power of being the first one to solve something.

My Slidey tool is my second monitor. I use a laptop, and I often correlate data between several sources and plonk it into excel. I have done this job for 8 years and only thought to ask for the second screen about 6 months ago. It has been life altering and should have been a thing years ago.
