  • Instrumenta

    Free and open source consulting-style Powerpoint toolbar

    • Instrumenta, the poor man's PPT plugin when your firm doesn't have one. Found it linked on this sub before and quite pleased with it.

  • PowerToys

    Windows system utilities to maximize productivity

    • Microsoft PowerToys has a great number of features, including a really powerful window tiling feature.

  • xlwings

    xlwings is a Python library that makes it easy to call Python from Excel and vice versa. It works with Excel on Windows and macOS as well as with Google Sheets and Excel on the web.

    • Other than that just a bunch of Python libraries for automating work/ making my day easier . My recent favourite is XLWings - Create Excel functions using Python. Really useful for more advanced functionality + API calls that you don't want to have to write VBA for.
