Utilities

ReDo: Fills a major hole in the built-in ToDo list application: recurring items. Weekly, monthly or yearly reminders are very helpful. Yes, the calendar supports these things - but they don't show up in your ToDo list which - at least for me - is where I look for things I need to do other than specific appointments. Also allows you to schedule ToDo items to appear at a specific date in the future.
HourzPro: Very useful tool for keeping track of hours spent on various projects. Particularly useful for consultants.
PocketMirror: Utility to hotsync with Microsoft Outlook instead of the Palm Desktop.
Tide Tool: Calculates tides and currents.
TealPoint Software: Miscellaneous utilities.
LinkeSoft: Several utilities, including Secret! (password tracker)
Stand Alone, Inc.: Collection of utilities and games for various handheld platforms, including the PalmPilot.
Benchmark: Benchmark utility.
AddressBookR: Replacement for the Address Book utility. Allows multiple individual contacts to be tied to a single organization.
DateBk3: Replacement utility which combines the to-do list with the calendar.
Linker: Hack to allow records in many applications to be tied to one another.
TextPlus: Autocompletion utility - suggests whole words as you write, based on frequency of usage.
LifeBalance: ToDo List replacement, with a different approach - you specifyhow important various types of activities are, and how important a specific activity is to that area - the software then prioritizes for you, attempting to make sure that you make time for things which are important to you.
Quartus: Miscellaneous utilities for the Palm, mostly HackMaster extensions.
StayOff Hack: Very useful utility, depending on the type of case you use for your Palm. Makes sure the device is not accidentally turned on while it's in your pocket.
ListMaker: List tracker for various kinds of lists, including hierarchical. Not really a ToDo List replacement, but can be integrated somewhat.
ToDo Plus: ToDo List replacement, with repeating tasks, more views, alarms and drawings.
AutoLock: Locks the entire Palm device with an ATM-like PIN-based interface
WebConfidential: Utility to keep track of your logins/passwords for various web sites

PalmOS Development

GCC Development Tools: Palm's page listing the tools (with download links) needed for developing Palm applications with GCC (freeware)

GCC for Win32 (Pilot) homepage: GCC, a freeware C compiler for Win32 (Windows 95/NT) which builds PalmOS applications (.prc files)
Creator IDs: Every PalmOS application must have a unique "Creator ID." Any one PalmOS handheld may only have one application with any given Creator ID installed at one time. To avoid problems, USRobotics has provided a central Creator ID Registry. Before writing a Pilot application, it is very important that you register a Creator ID for that application at this site.
PilRC: Tool for building the GUI end of a PalmOS application.
Palm OS Emulator: A Palm handheld emulator which runs under Win32. Formerly known as Copilot.

ZenPlus: A C++ class library for use with building PalmOS applications, formerly known as "Teenee".
PilotMAG: IDE for use with GCC. Appears to be centered primarily on forms processing applications.
AppForge: Development platform for use with Visual Basic to create Palm applications. (Haven't tried it myself, but it looks interesting)
