 For the last few months. I've gone through and created a video called top five apps of the month And this month is no different now that we're in September and we're the year is slowly passing us by It's time for another one of these videos and it feels like just yesterday that I did August's version, but there you go It seems like every time I do one of these videos I can plan about how fast time goes But what can you do? You can't slow down time. So This month I have five really cool apps to show you If you would like to see an application that you enjoy on this list sometime in the future Make sure you leave that in the comments section below It really does help me out because then I don't have to come up with five apps all on my own It appeases my laziness just a little bit So I really do appreciate anybody who's given an app suggestion in the past If you're new to the channel make sure you hit the subscribe button because I do a quite a few of these Really cool videos each month and I publish other videos that aren't so cool the rest of the month. So Now that we got all that stuff out of the way, let's go ahead and jump in so the first app on the list this month is called font downloader and Basically, what this does is it allows you to go through and download any Google font So Google has this vast collection of fonts that it uses and allows web developers and such to actually use them on websites And you can download them from the Google fonts website as well But this application allows you to kind of not have to go to the internet and actually order to get these You can just go through and download them one by one in this application And there are just a ton of fonts here that you can download the list Just goes on and on and on and on now once you find when you want to download or install you can do so You can either install it just by clicking the install button now as far as I know this will only install For your user it won't install system-wide if for whatever reason it doesn't install for you You can go through and download the font as well just to a folder now as far as I can tell it doesn't actually Actually give you the opportunity to tell it where to download So I'm not actually sure where this thing download that but it does allow you to at least do that So that is font downloader the next one is called obsidian and it was wrecked by and I'm gonna put you your name I apologize for this but Giffen Minesh Basically what obsidian is is a markdown editor slash note-taking tool and it is highly extensible There's a ton of plugins that come with it There's also a community of people who have made plugins that you can go out and install if you'd like Now the cool thing about obsidian is that it just creates markdown files. It actually just Literally creates text name md files that you can take wherever you want, but it looks really nice So it doesn't matter that it doesn't have a syncing capability or any of that stuff because you can just take these Markdown files to whatever markdown editor you want and it's pure markdown the things would like VimWiki or ZimWiki they use iterations on markdown and What that means is that it's not so easy to take those files elsewhere when you need to I've been having problems with this Recently because I've been transferring all my stuff from Zim to VimWiki and they don't use the same syntax It's just close and sometimes close just means things break all the time and your syntax and your Headlines and stuff like that just doesn't come across. So in this case, it's pure markdown if you're into Writing with markdown. This is a great little editor and it's great for note-taking It allows you to create notebooks and tags and all that kind of stuff There's a ton of settings for appearances and other settings You can go through and search your notes and all that kind of stuff So it's a full-featured note-taking application and it's kind of pretty so that is obsidian The next one on the list is called Tilda now I Don't think along the line. I will probably feature very many terminal emulators on this list But till this kind of cool because it's a drop-down terminal emulator Similar just to Gwaki or one of those other ones that drop down from the top now If you're using a tiling window manager, it doesn't work for whatever reason It comes up as a window It's possible that I'm missing a setting and all I can change that setting and then it would work but I didn't see that but I Like it anyways because it allows you as long as Tilda is running To bind it to a key binding and you can be on whatever desktop you're on So let's say I'm on my audacity workspace here and I hit f1 Till the ship hopps up in the background now It's because audacity is floating that I can't actually see this but I believe that there's actually a setting in Till this preference is here that it can always be on top Let me see here. I think I saw that somewhere. Yeah, it doesn't actually follow that unfortunately but that's probably again because I'm an a tiling window manager, but While we're here, you can see that Tilda's actually maintained through a GUI settings application or settings panel and A lot of people like managing their terminal emulators through a GUI And if you're one of those people Tilda's might be a good option for you I personally prefer editing my terminal emulators in a configuration file But that's just because I'm a big nerd So anyways, Tilda's great if you're looking for a drop-down terminal emulator that will kind of double as like a scratchpad Which is how I'm using it till there's just kind of amazing and that was recommended by mad thumbs over on Odyssey So thank you mad thumbs for recommending that The next one on the list is called stacer and this was recommended by somebody too, but I didn't write down the name So I apologize for that. So whoever you reckon whoever recommended this. Thank you stacer is a system monitor slash system maintenance Application the first screen you're presented with every time you start up the application is a system monitor And it gives you basic stats on your CPU memory disk network and all that kind of stuff but stacer is more than just that it will also allow you to go through and Turn on and off and disable startup applications It will allow you to go through and clean different caches and reports and logs and temporary files and your trash it'll allow you to go through and Search for files and clean up large files. It'll allow you to uninstall programs It'll allow you to monitor ongoing system processes and will show you a history black graph of your CPU GPU Disk and memory and all that kind of stuff. It's really quite a full featured application for sitting up system maintenance And it's all done in a very pretty package and it works across pretty much every Linux distribution I installed this one from the arch repositories, but I think it's also on flat hub and snap So if you wanted to download it from you somewhere else, you could do that as well And it's really quite cool if you're interested in a system monitor or a system maintenance application I don't think that there's one better than this one. So the last one on the list is called power cord now power cord is not for everyone and in fact, I should Put a little disclaimer on here that if you use power cord technically you are breaking Discord's terms terms of service because Basically what power cord does is it sits on top of the discord client and allows you to do things and By things I mean it allows you to theme it allows you to add plugins and so on and so forth now Power cord is still in beta. So there's not a lot you can do with it But there are a ton of CSS themes out there for discord that are Usable by power cord to change the way discord looks in my case I've grove box discord and that allows me to go through with power cord and just Enable it and it looks like this now and it applies pretty much just a whole app Why like the whole app now looks like a grove box thing and it's really awesome now I featured a in a video. I believe it was deleted, but I don't remember I featured one called better discord a little while ago and I use that for a bit, but it didn't Stay on my system because it used a lot of resources Power cord is not like that. I think from what I've seen it doesn't use a ton of CPU usage Or it doesn't use a ton of memory. It uses a little bit, but it so it's gonna Add some overhead to the regular discord application, but it's not going to add as much as better discord did now Like I said power cord is in beta So it's not as full featured as better discord, but it's still really cool Especially if you're like me and do a ton of racing and you want to make discord look better than what it normally does This is a good application for you So that is the top five apps for this month again If you have an application that you'd like to see you can leave that in the comment section below Also in the comment section below Let me know if there's any of these applications that you've tried or would like to try and let me know Why I really like to hear from you make sure you hit the like button in the subscribe button I really do appreciate everybody who does it really does help the channel.
