My aim is always to reduce the number of programs I use, but in practice the list seems to grow.

Outliner: Noteliner (most significant find in recent years)
Email: Thunderbird
Data collection/capture : Clipcache Pro, Instapaper
Calendar/tasks : Google as “server”, using various apps as client (Rainlendar and Thunderbird on Windows)
Boilerplate management: PhraseExpress
Indexing documents/email: Archivarius 3000
Writing: Scrivener, PageFour, Mempad, Notepad2

I also occasionally make use of OneNote.

Considering: Any programs where sync is the programmers’ top priority—I am now using Windows, Android and WebOS devices.

Programs where I spend most of my time: Thunderbird, Notepad2 and FeedDemon (RSS reader).

Biggest change in working methods in last year: I use a Kindle for reading most documents/long articles.
