I really like simple software that is built for a specific task which it then does extraordinary with a simple to understand codebase. Similar to the philosophy of suckless.org.

What are your favourite programs that "suck less"?

I'm not a programmer (don't know about code) but appreciate this ethos from a user's perspective, so:

LosslessCut (trims, combines and separates videos without reencoding)
Xpano (stitches photographs/makes panoramas, easy, just works)
Colorway (on-screen eye-dropper for colour; gives hex code and combinations)
Wordbook (offline dictionary)
Breathing (it's just breathing)
Blanket (nice background sounds)
