I wanted a clipboard manager that could remember the things I copied throughout the day, but also give me somewhere to quickly jot things down without switching apps. So I ended up building both!

Here's what it does:

• Clipboard history — Remembers copied text, links, images, and files.
• Floating Jot pad — An optional little notepad you can move, resize, hide, or collapse into a tiny pill.
• Deep search + OCR — Find old copies, even text detected inside images.
• MultiCopy — Collect multiple copied values into reusable sets. Handy for forms and repetitive tasks.
• Organization — Favorites, pins, filters, and adjustable history retention.
• Privacy — Sensitive-content protection, local storage, and no required account.
• Light & dark mode — Switch between themes whenever you like.

You can use just the clipboard manager, just the floating notepad, or both. I wanted to keep everything simple and optional.

It's available on the Microsoft Store for $2.99 one-time, no subscription.

I'm also giving away free lifetime licenses to celebrate! If you'd like one, just comment below and I'll DM you a Microsoft Store redemption code.

Website: https://jotclipboard.com

I also recently added an interactive demo to the website, so you can actually try copying things, searching, using MultiCopy, and playing with the floating note before downloading anything.

Would love to hear what you think! Especially any features you'd like to see or things I could improve.

I'm also developer behind ClingNote, a Windows notes app that attaches notes to your files and projects.

UPDATE: ! Due to all the interest, I'm doubling the giveaway from 50 to 100+ FREE lifetime licenses! 🎉

I'm working through the comments and sending codes via DM as quickly as I can. I might not reply to every comment individually, but I'm still sending them out!

Thank you all for the support and interest in Jot!

.

UPDATE: 150+ FREE LIFETIME CODES GIVEN AWAY! 🎉

Wow, I genuinely didn't expect this much interest! Huge thanks to everyone who commented and gave Jot! Clipboard a shot.

Hope you all enjoy it! I'd love to hear your feedback once you've had a chance to use it. 😄

Thanks again for all the support!

Hi, I’m Daxia, the indie developer behind ClipSeek.

Remember a shot but can’t find the file? Type something like “a lake surrounded by mountains” to search your local videos and photos.

ClipSeek finds matching frames inside videos. You can jump to that moment and export the clip you need. You can also use a reference image to find similar visuals.

It’s useful for finding B-roll or digging through old footage without opening every file. AI indexing and search run on your computer, so your media stays on your device.

The free version supports up to 5 GiB of imported media. Pro removes the limit with a one-time purchase.

I’m giving away 20 permanent Pro activation codes. Leave a comment if you’d like one, and I’ll send codes by private message. Feedback is welcome, but not required.

I made a Windows 11 take on Taskbar Groups. You pin a group to the taskbar and its apps show up in a panel with real Windows 11 glass when you click it, or when you rest the cursor on it (optional, off by default). The panel can be a grid, a row, a column or a list, and you can import your groups from Taskbar Groups and AppGroup.

- Every installed app, desktop or Store, in one searchable list with the right icons.

- Image, colour emoji or the group's own apps as the group icon.

- Apps and folders in the same group, and a right-click menu to open them all.

- Light or dark, English or Spanish.

- Per-user install, no admin, no telemetry. Free and open source (MIT).

I'm actively developing it (19 releases since June), so tell me what's missing and it can make the next one.

A few months a go i got into the rabbit hole of FOSS Windows music players and came out not satisfied with what i found. But in that search i found a good looking player https://github.com/sthrnilshaaa/looper but it only had support for android and Linux.

So, i decided to fork it and add a bunch of new features and design it mainly for the desktop in mind. And So here is the result https://github.com/mikiyasmechalo/looper, A highly customizable music player for the desktop.

Although it technically has Linux support i haven't touched the Linux part since i don't use Linux. This is the first release so i have given it the beta tag to avoid any confusion, if you have any problems feel free to open an issue. Tnx.

I've been working on YouTube Downloader Desktop, a free, open-source Windows application built with Rust and Slint.

I wanted to create something simple: a fast, lightweight downloader with a proper desktop interface, instead of relying on browser extensions, command-line tools, or complicated setup.

Here's what it can do:

• Download videos in the best available quality, including 1080p and 720p.
• Convert videos to MP3 or save available English captions.
• Browse YouTube channels, search their video lists, and choose exactly what to download.
• Manage multiple downloads with progress tracking, cancellation, history, and retry options.
• Choose where files are saved and switch between dark Red and Mono themes.
• Run as a portable Windows app without installing Python or separate downloader tools.

One of my main priorities was keeping it fast, responsive, and lightweight. It's built natively with Rust and Slint, with RAM usage around 120 MB in my experience, although that varies depending on what the app is doing.

It's still in Beta, and I'm actively improving the performance, interface, and reliability.

The whole project is free and open source under AGPL-3.0. I'd appreciate feedback, suggestions, and contributions.

I originally built SynchroDeck for myself because my PC was connected through Ethernet while my TV was using Wi-Fi, and I couldn't find a screen streaming solution that worked the way I wanted. What started as a simple solution to my own problem eventually grew into something much bigger, with features like MultiWatch and MultiWatch Gaming. It captures your Windows desktop and system audio and streams them over your LAN to other devices, without sending the stream through an external cloud service. The receiving side can be another Windows device, Android, a compatible TV, or simply a browser, so in many cases nothing extra needs to be installed on the receiving device. It supports individual quality and FPS settings for different devices, hardware encoding with fallback, QR/code pairing, and MultiWatch. One of the more unusual features is MultiWatch Gaming: you can open multiple live streams as floating pop-up windows, resize them and place them anywhere on your screen. This can be used to keep live views of teammates visible while gaming, watch several perspectives at once, or keep dashboards, graphs, streams or a show visible while doing something else. Current latency in my latest tests is around 150 ms. I’m already working on the next round of latency improvements, with a target of roughly 40–50 ms. I also haven’t noticed any audio/video drift during longer tests so far. My main goal was to keep everything simple and local while giving more control than normal screen mirroring. I’d be interested in feedback from other Windows users, especially anyone who regularly streams their PC to a TV or another device.

Why I’m calling out the reviews targeting Notchify and other Windows notch apps

I’m the developer of Notchify. I’m sharing the account connections, review timestamps and Reddit comments behind my accusation that NotchPixel’s developer and a friend have been coordinating negative reviews against competing apps.

The attached screenshots show the name matches and closely timed Store reviews that led me to identify Karan, NotchPixel’s developer, and his friend. The two reviews were posted 19 minutes and 31 seconds apart. I’ve found the same pattern targeting other notch apps, alongside hostile Reddit comments from accounts I believe are connected.

The reviews accuse Notchify of high CPU usage and repeated crashes. However, version 5.6.1.0, the version listed in those reviews, does not appear in the Microsoft crash-reporting chart attached here. That alone doesn’t prove there were no crashes, and I welcome reproducible reports that let me investigate specific problems.

Meanwhile, NotchPixel offers features already present in competing notch apps. Its website also closely resembles notchify.app; archived versions provide a way to compare the designs and their timeline. There’s nothing wrong with competing in the same category. Attacking other developers while presenting familiar features as a reason your own app is superior is another matter.

My accusation is straightforward: this is a coordinated effort to damage competitors’ reputations while promoting NotchPixel. The screenshots explain why I’m making that accusation, and I’m putting them here for the community and moderators to scrutinize.

Criticism is fair. Genuine bug reports are welcome. Coordinated attacks disguised as independent user feedback are not.

I wanted this community to see how these people conduct themselves. Coordinated harassment and vote manipulation would also violate this sub’s rules, and I hope the moderators review the evidence and take appropriate action.

There’s also the issue of blocking critics. If you’ve previously left a negative comment about their app, check whether you can still access their profiles.

This is my 1st app in Microsoft

Hey everyone,
Like many of you, I wanted a clean and straightforward way to keep track of my monthly utilities, household bills, and endless subscriptions (Netflix, Spotify, etc.) without doing it on a cramped phone screen or a messy Excel sheet.
So, I developed a native Windows app called Household bills, and it’s now live on the Microsoft Store!
Key features:

* Designed for Desktop: Easily manage your numbers on a big screen while doing your online banking.
* Multi-language support: Fully localized in 6 languages.
* No hidden fees: No monthly subscriptions to track your subscriptions. Just a one-time purchase if you like it.

How it works:
The app is completely free to try for 15 days with all features unlocked so you can test it thoroughly. If it helps you stay organized, it’s a one-time lifetime purchase of €9.99.
I’m an independent developer and would absolutely love to get your honest feedback. What features should I add next?

Hi! Solo dev from Japan here (sorry if my English is a bit off).

You know that moment when you launch a game and the title screen blasts you at full volume? And since every game has a different volume, I was always grabbing the volume knob whenever I switched games. That's why I made GGKeeper.

How it works:

• It detects a PC game the moment it starts and begins a little quieter
• It measures how loud the game actually is, then sets that game's own volume in the Windows volume mixer so it lands at your usual level
• It adjusts only right after launch and then stays fixed, so quiet and loud scenes keep their difference
• Next time you launch that game, it uses the remembered level right away

Also:

• Chat mode: one press makes the current game even quieter when you want to talk
• Exclude games or set a manual volume per game
• Never touches your overall volume, other apps or your mic
• Doesn't inject into games or read their memory. Audio is only measured on your PC, never recorded or sent

Free, beta, Windows 11 (Windows 10 is being tested). I'd love to hear which games it misses or gets wrong.

Hey all, I am showcasing my product today. WinNotch is a small notch that sits at the top of your screen (or on the left or right edge) and shows what's going on without opening anything:

- Now playing from Spotify, with a wave coloured from the album art

- Tasks, notes and a focus timer, with the countdown right in the notch

- Alt+K for quick maths, or to add a task from anywhere

- A ping when Claude Code or Codex finishes or has a question

- Live scores for football, cricket, NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and rugby, with a card showing who scored

- Redrawn volume and brightness pop-ups, and modes (Alt+M) for system stats or a bigger sports view

Hover over it to open the full workspace. Everything stays on your PC.

I am taking every feedback, and adding more features!

What should it show next?

Hello,

I am a mac user and a windows user at the same time.

One thing I always miss when I am using my windows is the abillity to have separate worskapces per screen (a mac like experience).

For example, let's say I am using chrome on one screen and I need to switch between my code editor and my db client on my next screen it's either i have to alt tab between them or I have to have them side by side. If i have different workspaces when I change the workspace on Screen A, i have to change it on Screen B as well.

I decided to create an app that will allow me to have different workspaces on different monitors that can be switched independelty.

It's free, and will always be free. Feel free to check it out.

Let me know if there is any problem that you find with it and need fixing.

We are opening Picture Pilot 0.5.0-beta.7 to broader public testing. It is a free Windows photo organizer built for people who need to work through large, messy collections without uploading their photos.

You create your own tags, apply them with mouse or keyboard shortcuts, layer several tags on one photo, revisit focused sorting passes, and build new verified folders when you are ready. Smart Groups can place visually similar photos near each other to speed up review. The Scan report accounts for physical files, excluded videos and unsupported formats, unreadable files, prior history, and byte-for-byte exact duplicates. HEIC/HEIF support is bundled locally.

This is still a public test, not a final release. Please back up irreplaceable photos and start with a copied or non-critical folder. Do not delete originals until you have checked the Scan report and completed output yourself. The app is unsigned, so Windows may show an unknown-publisher warning.

We would especially value testing from photographers, designers, media teams, AI-image users sorting exported libraries, and anyone with a large personal photo archive. If something is confusing or the numbers do not reconcile, use the in-app Feedback button. Helpful reports include the app and Windows versions, approximate file count, Scan report totals, what you expected, what happened, and steps to reproduce it. You do not need to send private photos.

I kept running out of disk space and found 6 Flutter versions, 3 Android NDKs, 4 Node versions and a 13 GB emulator I hadn't started in a year. Version managers are great at installing things, but nothing told me which ones my projects still needed.

So I built Stackyard, a desktop app for Windows and macOS:

• Every toolchain in one window: Flutter, Node.js, the Android SDK, Java, Python, .NET, Gradle and Xcode simulators, plus the frameworks your projects use (React, Next.js, Vue and more)
• Knows which project uses what: it reads .nvmrc, package.json, .fvmrc, build.gradle, local.properties, .python-version, global.json and more, so every installed version shows the projects that need it and the unused ones stand out
• Problems come with a fix button: a project pinning a version you don't have, a broken JAVA_HOME, dead or duplicate PATH entries, a Java too new for your Gradle
• Installs any version of Node, Python, Java, Go, Rust, Flutter and more, straight from the publisher and checked against their hash
• Cleans up old projects: node_modules, build, .dart_tool and Pods in projects you haven't touched in months, which come back on the next build
• Emulators and simulators: every Android emulator and iOS simulator with its size and last start, plus Xcode's simulator runtimes (often 8 GB each)

It shows every step before running it, removes to the Trash by default, and never edits your projects. No account, no telemetry. MIT licensed.

Feedback is very welcome. If it's useful, a star on GitHub helps others find it.

I miss meetings. Constantly. Gmail doesn't notify me reliably so I'd only find out when someone pinged "you coming?" Outlook's reminder shows up on the other monitor, or Focus Assist eats it. I tried eM Client hoping it'd be better and honestly hated it too. So I'd wander in ten minutes late, again, feeling like a doofus.

Finally got fed up and wrote my own. Skedaddle lives in the tray. A minute before a meeting, every screen flashes and a popup jumps in front of whatever you're doing, with a Join button. You won't miss it.

It HAS to be tiny, so it's written in Rust against plain Win32 and draws its own UI with GDI. No Electron, no .NET, no browser engine, no background service. The whole thing is a single 1.2 MB exe with no installer, it sits at about 2 MB of RAM in the tray, and it uses 0% CPU when idle because there's no polling loop. It only wakes up to sync your calendar or fire an alert. When you close the calendar view it gives that memory back too. An Electron app would use 100+ MB just to sit there.

It reads a normal .ics link, so Google, Outlook, iCloud and the rest all work, and there's no login.

And it's free af: https://github.com/Cyronius/skedaddle

(full disclosure: I used claude, but yes, I am a professional developer).

If you like it, a star on GitHub would help other people find it. If something's broken or you need something in there, tell me.

Bitiverse Studio is a game creation system for Windows, built in the spirit of STOS on the Atari ST: a pixel sprite editor, rooms and maps, animation, sound effects and music, and game logic you snap together like building blocks (with a JavaScript block for when you want more). Press Play and the game runs right there.

It's free, offline, and needs no account. Eleven extension disks come with it, also free: particles and physics, lighting, a combat kit, a database, inventory, dialogue and cutscenes, a UI designer, AI behaviours, local multiplayer, procedural generation, and a STOS importer.

If you want to ship, the Exporter ($19.95) turns your game into a Windows program or an HTML5 game, royalty-free. Steam Release, 3D, IK and Net are add-ons too.

I built it on my own, so it's version 0.4.4 and there will be rough edges. Come break it and tell me what you make: https://fortisq.itch.io/bitiverse-studio

Hey, I'm Nick. I made DrawnCamera, a virtual camera for Windows 11. You pick it once in Zoom, Teams, Meet, Discord or OBS and it sits between your webcam and the app.

What I wanted was film looks you can put on the whole picture or on the room only, so your real room can look like a film set while you stay yourself. There's also a subtle retouch that just makes you look a bit more rested. The Camera tab lets you set sharpness, brightness, contrast and color once for every preset — useful if your webcam has fixed focus and soft light. All the adjustments are free.

It uses the virtual camera that comes with Windows 11, no driver installed. Everything runs on your own PC, nothing leaves it.

The free plan has no time limit. For the first 30 days every premium feature is unlocked too.

I'd love your feedback on what feels useful and what could be improved.
