There is a thread in the official english forum:

Useful 3rd party tools to complement TC:

where user propose some useful tools. In between those thread spans over 58 pages what makes it easy to loose track. I tried to collect all programs with their links here on one page with short descriptions (as they were available in the origin posts).When I found a link broken I tried to find a working one. That may result sometimes in a link to the wrong program - hope you will forgive me. But replaced links have a hint in this color

When I thought it is necessary or desirable I copied some comments from the post

For those who want to read the originally post I organized the links in sections for each page. Unfortunately this site is not up to date, but maybe some day .... ;-).
