Midas's favorites (309)

Raindrop produces natural ambient sounds along with some special stimulating sounds for deep relaxation, sleep induction and perceived noise suppression. It is bundled with a series of highly realistic sound sets (tropical rain, birds etc.), meditation loops (mantra chants, instrumental vibrations etc.) and a binaural beats generator.

Binaural beats are perceptive illusions that happen when your ears receive two slightly different sine waves and your brain erroneously "reconstructs" the signal as a "beat" (hence the name). Depending on its frequency (which is given by the difference of the two sine waves) the binaural beat can effectively change the alertness state of your brain, thus inducing fast reactions (high frequencies), mild relaxation (medium frequencies) or deep sleep (low frequencies).

VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility. It lacks the editing power of a general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is great for video capture and transcoding via third-party video codecs. It can also read MPEG-1 video files by default but requires Plugins Pack to open more types of video (adds FLIC, FLV, Matroska, MPEG-2, AC-3 and WMV).

VirtualDub Portable is a PortableApps.com format wrapper for VirtualDub. Alternatively, X-VirtualDub is also available.

Trivial Proxy is a pass-through proxy that allows you to view and log network activities of any application. Any TCP traffic that goes to the local port is passed through to the remote host:port after its content is logged to file and/or screen.

Tiny Hexer Small Edition is a minimal hex editor for binary files with an intuitive interface. The program features multiple file edition, the ability to edit sectors of the disk or other media including flash memory on drivers drive or digital camera. The program can change the virtual memory of other processes and open files up to 2 GB.

The "Small Edition" was originally developed for BartPE as a version that requires fewer system libraries and can operate on minimal dependencies.

TreeCopy is a unique directory copier taking the various folders the source folder to a set of empty target folders. Its unique from similar tools as it copies only the directory structure and not the files. This is useful for developers and in testing.

This functionality is similar to the windows command line "xcopy" i.e. XCOPY source [destination] /T /E, but this tool allows this action without needing to remember command line switches.

GnuPT Portable is a flexible file and text encryption system using the GPG encryption standard. This uses a "public key" system that allows individuals to exchange information securely with someone they've never met. Clipboard contents, current window, and files can all be secured quickly and easily. Standard encryption using a shared password ("symmetric") is also available.

Based on WinPT (Windows Privacy Tray).

Note: The program has issues with path portability (moving from folder to folder).

SE-Explorer is a simple and powerful dual panel file manager with tabbed interface and a wide variety of built in file viewers including audio, video, pictures, archives, documents, text with syntax highlighting, and even file hex view.

The program also includes disk search and size analysis tools, and can compare text files, folders and subfolders.

Supported viewer formats include MP3, WAV, AVI, MPEG, WMV, SWF, FLV, ZIP, RAR, ISO, 7Z, MSI, CAB, PDF, DjVu, DOC and WRI, HTML, CHM, RTF, EXE and more.

BinText is a file text scanner / extractor that helps find character strings buried in binary files. The program can extract text from any kind of file and display plain ASCII text, Unicode (double byte ANSI) text, as well as Resource strings. Additional useful information for each item is included in the "Advanced" mode. Uniquely, the program will show both the file offset and the memory offset of each string found.

Although primarily targeted for programmers, it can be used by anyone interested in ferreting out character strings buried within binary files.

Note: Although updated versions of the program exist, the 3.00 version is listed for reasons described in forums.
