Below is the best list that I can come up with of third-party software written specifically for use with SmartSDR. Are there any that I am missing?
If you add any please put it in the same format as the ones below: software name, URL and description.
It would be nice if there was a list like this somewhere on an official Flex link like http://www.flexradio.com/support/downloads/ so that others don’t have to go hunting for this information.
Thanks

SDR-Bridge
http://www.qrv.com/sdrbridge.html
We have a great skimming program, CW Skimmer. And we have a great logger, WriteLog. The problem is, they speak different languages, and can’t talk to each other. There is a limited connection through CAT. But it doesn’t touch what is possible. So when you click a spot on CW Skimmer, what happens? Nothing. But with SDR-Bridge, both the radio and WriteLog QSY to the frequency, WriteLog displays the callsign in the Entry panel, and receives the focus ready for the QSO.
Slice Master 6000
https://github.com/K1DBO/slice-master-6000
Slice Master 6000's primary focus is on dynamically configuring and launching CW Skimmer to work with the slice receivers in your radio. A CW Skimmer instance can be launched for any active slice so long as it's panadapter is assoicated with a DAX IQ channel. Clicking on a signal in the CW Skimmer window will cause the associated slice receiver to change frequency. Likewise, changing the frequency of a slice receiver will cause the associated CW Skimmer to follow along.
FRStack
http://www.mkcmsoftware.com/Flex/Index
FRStack displays a list of Active Slices, Most Recently Used (MRU) Frequencies, a list of Memories, a list of Favorite Memories, a list of Scan Banks, the Transmit Profiles, the MIC Profiles, the Global Profiles and the Radio Memory List.
All of the following are from K9DUR software.

SDRMemory6k This program provides an enhanced memory management system for SmartSDR.

“Extremely useful “ - also true depending upon which peripherals you want to interface.
I have about 40 different macros on a panel that I use to assist my operations. It is very flexible.

Also, K6TU has some good programs for the Flex-6000 on the Apple Store.

I use DXLab Suite, I know it works with Flex. And there is WSJT-X and Fldigi. Maybe there are in a different category?

This program adds control via many kinds of knobs such as Behringer DJ controllers, Tmate2, Flex Knob, etc. The program has over 60 functions you can select for each button and knob.
Also, the program can replace SmartSDR CAT with all its connectivity to amplifiers, tuners, and antenna controllers.

1. I guess not all these 3rd party SW are neccessary, so how do you guys decide what needed? Just by trying everything?
2. When you Power up you PC and Radio, than you you will have to start (by your choice) 3-5 additional SW's? Manually... right?
Thanks
