Which apps that benefit from ADB do you value the most?

I bet quite a few of us have managed to enable ADB on our smartphones. With tons of help from xda & reddit, I managed to do it a few days ago.


So lets share apps that benefit (or require) adb the most (and if at all possible, please include a link :)
