Calibre, for my books. Extraordinarily good.
Simple note, for simple notes that I have on my laptop and phone LibreOffice, which just gets better and better.

I used this a lot back in the day but I remember there was a problem with development for a while and I stopped using it. I'll have to have a look again.

The free online photo editor on freeonlinephotoeditor.com. Extremely basic, but great for adding text and whatnot to an image. I used it to plan my route of travel for Fallout 3.

I'm struggling to think of a reason why you'd be doing that but it's been a long time since I played. Was it that one quest that sent you all through the capital?

I play the game in a very particular order, only going certain places when I reach certain levels and have certain perks. For example, I don't go to Megaton until I have at least 5000 caps and an Explosives skill of 25, so I can disarm the bomb, get my house, and buy all furnishings (Explorer theme, workbench, infirmary, laboratory) all in one day or so. And I don't go to the scrapyard to get Dogmeat until I have my house in Megaton, because I want a nice home for my pup. No Andale until I have the Cannibal perk, no Yao Guai tunnels until the Animal Friend perk, and I test the mole rat repellant BEFORE the Animal Friend perk so I don't gotta kill my rat friends.

BUT I still like having a semi-realistic path of travel, not just bouncing around the map all nilly-willy. So I color-coded the map to mark where I do and don't go at certain levels. It's much less tedious than it sounds, and no, I don't get this nitpicky about other games. Fallout just has so much to do in one playthrough.

That sounds a lot like how I replay most games actually. It's kinda tragic because choices tend to mean a lot in CRPGs but I have just accepted it now and watch alternate stories and endings online.

Actually Fallout was the game that got me into modding heavily because I was tired of the traders getting killed so I found a mod to make them almost unkillable.

Agent Ransack. better than windows search. Not as fast as other search programs but you can save your searches, use regex, shows you line numbers on positive hits, etc.

Q-Dir... 1 to 4 panes as an explorer replacement

QT-Tab Bar... 1 to 3 panes integrated within explorer. New toolbars, dropdown hover dive into directory structures, hover image and media previews, and more.

Push The Freaking Button - automate button clicks (on 32 bit programs only, sadly) so that you don't have to keep clicking the darned thing.

KeePass - Automate secure logins and local save files only.

7+ Taskbar tweaker. The new way of having previews and combined taskbar buttons sucks. Revert it to old school functionality.

Classic Start menu.

GWX Control Panel Monitor - Stops microsoft from forcing windows 10 down your throat.

Win-Patrol - monitor new and changed start up programs before they do damage.

Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise - for the developers, it's an incredible IDE.

Notepad++ - for those files you can't open in notepad.

Beyond Compare - absolutely file and folder compare tool. Worth the price.

You just reminded me I haven't backed up my database and key after losing my old USB to the ravages of time. I use KeepassXC which is a fork of Keepass that runs on Qt so it works on windows and Linux, where the other ones didn't at the time.
