General
- BeyondPod - Great podcast manager I use to handle my Japanese podcasts
- NewsRob - RSS reader that integrates with Google Reader, tons of Japanese RSS streams
- Clipstore - A Clipboard monitoring program that I run in the background. It keeps a list of stuff copied - so when I'm studying something in an Anki deck and I want to mark it for further study later or something, I just copy it and it creates a list for later.
- Not really related to Japanese but there is a nice app called Swype. Its a really neat keyboard replacement that lets you type words by swiping your fingers across letters
- himekuri10: Japanese-style old timey calendar. I mostly use it to get the lunar Calendar date and to amuse myself with who was born on that day.
- Google変換マッシュ (potentially unstable)
- Aoisora
- Kaki Memo Lite good to make a notice by drawing, but no recognition, every character is a picture in the document
