Here are third party applications (that were not written by Bay12Games) developed for Dwarf Fortress:

Rick's utilities

Fabulous tools made by the marvelous Rick. All Hail Rick!

Outdated tools (v0.27.169.32a): reveal.exe tileinfo.exe

Current tools (v0.27.169.33a):

reveal.exe

Download reveal.exe   Makes as much of the map visible as it can (eg, it can't reveal unallocated map blocks)

If you want to reveal the entire map, go to the furthest Z level down you can get to, and designate the entire bottom to be mined, then remove the designation, then run reveal.

Macro Programs

A program that lets you program scripts/macros so that when you press a certain key combination, or in any other fashion activates the program, a series of keystrokes is sent to the active program instead.

AutoHotKey

AHK lets you define global hotkeys to send a sequence of keystrokes. For example, you can have alt+w be replaced with b-C-w-Enter-Enter to make wall building much easier.
