Removing ads in a mobile photo editing software that's made by one dude. Was $3.49 I think. I like it and I've used it for over half a decade.

AATools from G-Lock Software (high quality aio network tools) and the Intel C compiler which produced massively optimized binaries (FastMame being a flagship example).
