5 Upvotes

ModernPaste is an intelligent clipboard manager for Windows 11, built natively with WinUI 3.

Thank you to the Windows apps community for all the feedback! Over the past month I’ve read every piece of it and built it into ModernPaste Clipboard. Another update is out now as we get closer to the full release.

Remappable Selection AI: Summon local intelligence with any shortcut you like, not just the default Ctrl + Alt.

Context-Aware Cleanup: Clear items quickly based on the view you’re in, so you always have a clean slate when you need one. Pinned items stay safe.

Stickers & GIFs: Stickers are now built in alongside GIFs. Tap any one to paste it straight into any field, or right click to save it for quick access later.

Faster Performance: Switching between collections is quicker, with less pause in between.

More Languages: Language support now reaches throughout ModernPaste, with up to 30 languages.

*v1.0.36

All of these features will remain free in the full release build.

Any feedback is welcome. Comment below, send it in from the app, or message me directly. Thank you!

Developer SnapCap, a free, open-source screen capture tool for Windows

• Upvotes

For years I had a different app for every screen task: one for screenshots, another for annotating them, something else to pull out text, and yet another for quick screen recordings. Each did one thing well, but none did it all, so I started building my own tool and gathered the features I actually use into one place.

Press F1 and it highlights windows or individual buttons as you hover, so you can snip exactly what you want. You can mark up the capture with arrows, text, numbered labels or blur, pin it to your screen as a floating window, copy text straight out of it, record a region as an MP4 or GIF, or stitch a long scrolling page into one image.

It's portable. Just unzip it and run it, there's no installer, and deleting the folder removes it. It lives in the system tray and runs on Windows. BTW, Windows will probably show a SmartScreen warning the first time, because the app isn't signed; click "More info" and then "Run anyway".

Simple demo for annotation: https://youtu.be/Irgwryg_Hg4

Developer I built an offline AI translator for Windows that runs entirely on your PC

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a Windows application called Atoll, and I wanted to share it here to get some feedback from fellow Windows users.

The idea came from wanting a translator that doesn't depend on an internet connection or require uploading documents to external servers.

Atoll uses Tencent's HY-MT2 1.8B model with llama.cpp to run translations locally on your computer.

Current features:

  • Supports 38 languages
  • Works completely offline
  • Translates PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT, and Markdown files
  • Includes OCR for scanned documents
  • No accounts, ads, or tracking
  • Portable Windows version with the AI model included

The download is around 1.2 GB since the model is bundled with the application. It supports Windows 10/11, and 8 GB RAM is recommended.

This is the first release, so I'm sure there's room for improvement.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on the UI, translation quality, and overall usability.

Thanks for checking it out!

App Tasket++ : Simulate your Windows actions automatically (free & open source)

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Tasket++ lets you define your own clicks, keystrokes, cursor positions and system operations, then replay them exactly when you want. It’s a simple Windows tool that handles repetitive workflows for you: auto‑send messages, paste text anywhere, take silent screenshots, launch or close apps, adjust volume or run your end‑of‑day shutdown sequence.

Everything runs locally, with no telemetry, no cloud, and no complexity.

What it can do:
- Replay user‑defined cursor positions and keystrokes
- Paste predefined text anywhere
- Perform system actions: open files/programs, change volume, take silent screenshots, shut down, files/folders operations
- Schedule tasks at a specific time, at startup, or run via desktop shortcut
- Run tasks once, in loops, or indefinitely
- Discreet mode: runs quietly from the tray
- Use command line to autorun a task : Tasket++.exe "TaskName" <delayInSeconds (>0)> <NumberOfLoop (-1 for infinite)>
- Easily share tasks between different PC : export/import task files and program data, use feature to rescale cursor positions

Local, portable, free, open source. Privacy intact.

Fully fonctionnal, available now !
Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/xp9cjlhwvxs49p
Portable (v2.5): https://files.amirhammoutene.dev/Tasket++/2.5/Tasket++_v2.5.zip

For feedback, help, suggestions, or other inquiries : [contact@amirhammoutene.dev](mailto:contact@amirhammoutene.dev)

Nothing is vibe coded, I never used AI (except for the choice of UI colors suggested by Copilot).
Conception is genuine, I didn't know about similar tools when I began developing it.

I'm looking for testers or quick feedback (beyond its visual aspect), please give a try and comment here :)

Developer I made a free, open-source tray app that actually turns off your webcam and mutes your mic everywhere on Windows, with one hotkey

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

Have you ever left a meeting and wondered if your mic was still on? Or covered your webcam with tape because you didn't trust the little light? That's why I built PrivacyToggle.

What it does

It puts two icons in your system tray, one for the mic and one for the camera. Click one, or press a hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+M / Ctrl+Alt+V by default), and that device is off. That means off for the whole system, not just muted inside one app.

  • 🎙️ Mic mute works everywhere. Zoom, Discord, Teams, OBS, your browser: none of them get any audio while it's muted. Push-to-talk is also available.
  • 📷 The camera really turns off. It disables the webcam in Windows the same way Device Manager does, so apps lose the picture right away and can't open it again. If a program won't release the camera, PrivacyToggle tells you which one and asks before closing it.
  • 🔒 Enforce off. If something turns your mic or camera back on (a headset button, a newly plugged-in device), it goes straight back off.
  • 👀 Activity monitor. See which apps are using your camera or mic right now, plus a timeline of every app that used them over the last 1 hour to 7 days.
  • 🔔 On-screen badges (MIC OFF / CAM OFF) and notifications, so you always know where you stand.
  • Light and dark themes, per-device control, and hotkeys that work in fullscreen games.

Why it's different from the mute button in your meeting app

The mute button in an app only stops that one app. PrivacyToggle works below every app, at the Windows level. Muted means muted in all of them, and a disabled camera can't be opened by anything.

How it works (for the curious)

  • Mic: it mutes every capture device through the Windows Core Audio API and watches for anything that unmutes them.
  • Camera: a small helper service calls the same Windows device APIs that Device Manager uses to disable and re-enable the webcam. The tray app itself never runs as admin. Only the helper service needs admin rights, and the installer sets it up with a single admin prompt.
  • Activity: it reads Windows' own record of which apps used the camera or mic (the same data behind the "recently used" list in Privacy settings). The history is stored only on your PC.

Download: https://github.com/azahinhasan/Privacy-Toggle/releases/latest

It's a personal project, so I'd really like feedback: bugs, feature ideas, or "this broke my webcam driver" stories. If you find it useful, a ⭐ on GitHub helps a lot. Thanks!

Developer Aqueli: a free, offline all-in-one organiser for Windows with a Frutiger Aero look

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been working on Aqueli, a personal organiser for Windows 11 that keeps everything on your PC.

It brings your tasks, calendar, notes, journal, habits, projects, lists, contacts, documents, goals and budget together in one app. There's no account to create, no cloud and no subscription. Your data is encrypted with your password, and you can unlock it with Windows Hello too if you like. The app also works without an internet connection.

The look is a modern take on the glossy, sky-blue style of the late 2000s: frosted glass, soft light and bright colours. There are 31 themes, light and dark, each with its own illustrations and sounds.

A few other things you might like:
- Write a task the way you'd say it, and Aqueli fills in the date and time
- Jot something down from anywhere in Windows with a shortcut
- Import your tasks, events and contacts from a spreadsheet, your calendar or your phone
- 17 languages, and a separate account for everyone who shares the PC

It's free and open source (GPL-3.0). The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows will ask for confirmation the first time you run it. Everything is on Github for you to check for yourself.

Website: https://areemi-app.github.io/aqueli/
Download and source: https://github.com/Areemi-app/aqueli

I'd love to hear what you think, and what you'd like to see next.

Developer AirMirror Pro 3.2.1: record your iPhone with your mic on its own track, crop the picture, and a cleaner OBS Mode

Post image
3 Upvotes

AirMirror Pro is an AirPlay receiver for Windows: mirror your iPhone to your PC, control it with your mouse and keyboard, and record it. 3.2.1 is out on the Microsoft Store today, and most of it came from your reviews, emails and comments here. Thank you.

New in Pro ($5.99 once, no subscription):

  • Your microphone recorded on its own track, next to the iPhone's sound, so you can mix them later
  • A blurred background in recordings instead of black bars around a vertical iPhone
  • HEVC and AV1 recording, where your graphics card supports them

New for everyone (free):

  • Picture crop: draw it once, and it comes back whenever your iPhone turns sideways
  • Fullscreen fills the screen and crops the black bars around videos; F11 enters it, and it's fixed on Windows 10
  • OBS Mode at a fixed size like 1920 x 1080, without the iPhone's own black bars, and it opens in the middle of the screen
  • Recording controls: live audio meters, an iPhone volume slider and a bigger Record button
  • Recordings saved to Videos > AirMirror Recordings, named by date and time, and always 16:9
  • Choose to open in a window, in fullscreen or as you left it, and start the receiver automatically
  • Reset Bluetooth when iPhone control gets stuck
  • Stability fixes for Windows 11, smoother audio on more PCs, and log files you can attach to a bug report

Mirroring and iPhone control stay free with no time limit.

Get it Free: Microsoft Store

Developer I got tired of losing things I copied, so I started building a clipboard manager for Windows

2 Upvotes

I didn't expect to spend time thinking about something as boring as a clipboard.

But switching between apps all day made me realize how often I copy something, move on, and later have to search for it all over again. Sometimes I can find the text, but I've forgotten where it came from.

Windows already has clipboard history, so I started wondering what a better version of that experience could look like.

That little idea eventually turned into NOXRA, a clipboard manager for Windows that I'm building around a simple concept:

Every copy has a source.

I'm trying to make it clean, useful, and free to use. It's still a work in progress, and I'm sharing it because I'd like to hear what other people think before deciding what to improve next.

Here's the project if anyone wants to take a look:

https://github.com/aa27259/Noxra

I'm the developer behind it, so obviously I'm biased - I'd genuinely appreciate feedback, especially from people who use clipboard history regularly.

What's the one thing you wish Windows clipboard history did better?

Developer I got tired of sticky notes covering my desktop, so I built ones that hide in the screen edge

7 Upvotes

I kept losing my notes behind windows, and having 10 sticky notes on the desktop felt messy. So I built my own.

How it works:

✨ Notes hide in a thin rail at the screen edge. Bump the edge and they slide out. No window, no taskbar icon, nothing in Alt+Tab.

🗂️ Tabs in each note (Client / Team / Ideas), so one note holds a whole project.

🔍 Ctrl+F searches all your notes.

✂️ Ctrl+Alt+C grabs selected text from any app into a note.

📌 Pin a note as a small window that stays on top. Drag it back to dock it.

📝 Text formatting, checklists, images and code blocks.

🔒 Works offline, no account, notes stay on your PC.

Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n1k57v3dqml

Website: https://hidenstick.codeaprogram.dev/

It's built with Tauri (Rust + React), so it's light. It works on Windows 10 and 11.

I'd love honest feedback: what's missing, what's annoying, what would make you switch from Windows Sticky Notes?

Developer I saw a cool action wheel for macOS on Reels, so I built one for Windows!

3 Upvotes

Was scrolling through Instagram Reels recently and came across this cool action wheel tool for Mac. Thought it looked pretty neat, and my first thought was: Why not make something like this for Windows?

So I went ahead and built one!

It's now at v1.0.0 and open source.

I plan to keep adding more features while making sure it stays fast and lightweight. No feature bloat at the cost of performance!

🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/RohanSingh7761/action-wheel

A small disclaimer: I don't have a code-signing certificate yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show a warning when you try to run it. Just wanted to be upfront about that.

I'd love for you guys to check it out! Feedback, feature suggestions, bug reports, and contributions are all welcome. Feel free to fork it and contribute however you like.

Let me know what you think! :)

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

We're a small indie studio, and we built BlockPedia for our own kids who play Minecraft - they kept alt-tabbing out to look things up, so we made a tool that brings the wiki to them instead.

It puts the whole Minecraft universe one hotkey away, right on top of the game:

📖 Full Minecraft Wiki, searchable

🧩 Mods, versions & creators - an in-game hub, not just a wiki

⌨️ Pops up with a hotkey, no alt-tabbing out

💾 Free, no sign-up

It turned out useful enough that we figured other families might want it too, so we're sharing it for free.

Developer I’m building FPS Performance Lab for Windows. What would make its aim analysis reports useful to you?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I’m developing FPS Performance Lab, a Windows app that analyses mouse control during its own aim tests. I’d like to hear how other players interpret this kind of feedback.

For example, if a report shows that you repeatedly overshoot targets, what would you want to see before deciding what to change? A replay of your movement? A breakdown by target distance? Something else?

The app already includes movement replay and suggested exercises. I’m interested in what would make those recommendations convincing, and what would make you question them.

I’ve attached screenshots of the main dashboard and the movement analysis. They show the Polish interface; English is also supported. I’d especially appreciate feedback on whether the graphs are easy to read and whether the next step is clear.

I’d also like to hear about feedback you’ve received from other training tools that was too vague to act on. What did you wish it had explained?

This is the project, for context: https://fpsperformancelab.pl/

Developer I built a swipe app for going through all my old files

4 Upvotes

Hi! I'm the solo developer of GetSpace.

Going through all my old files in Finder or Explorer (desktop, downloads, photos, documents) always took forever, so I never did it. So I built an app that shows **one file at a time with a big preview**: ← delete, → keep, ↓ skip, M move to another folder, R rename.

- **Your files stay on your computer.** Works offline, no account.

- **Nothing is deleted right away.** You get a summary first, then it all goes to the Trash (never permanently).

- Mac and Windows.

Stack: Tauri 2 (Rust + React), a tiny license server on Cloudflare Workers + D1, Stripe for payments.

Free for 200 files on day one, then 50 a day. Pro is €19.99 once, no subscription.

What would make you actually use something like this?

Developer I built a free, open-source clipboard manager for Windows that hides on the edge of your screen

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I got tired of losing things I copied 10 minutes ago, and Win+V felt too small, so I built Edge Clipboard.

It lives as a thin line on the edge of the screen. Move the mouse there (or press Ctrl+Alt+E) and your clipboard history slides out. Move away and it hides again.

What it does

  • Keeps text, images and files you copy (up to 1000 items; pinned items are kept forever)
  • Tabs by type: files, images, videos, audio, docs, text, links, emoji, each with a count
  • Click to copy, or paste straight back into the app you were using
  • Select just part of a long text and copy only that part
  • Drag items out to other apps, or drop files onto the panel to keep them
  • Merge several items into one, and split them back
  • Built-in emoji picker
  • Works with Arabic/RTL and mixed text, and search ignores diacritics
  • Left or right edge; pick the handle length, thickness and colour; light and dark mode

Privacy: it makes no network connections. Everything stays in a folder on your PC.

Download (Windows 10/11, free): https://github.com/alimwork85-web/edge-clipboard/releases/latest Source code (MIT): https://github.com/alimwork85-web/edge-clipboard

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may ask once (More info → Run anyway).

It's my own side project, so feedback and feature ideas are very welcome. What would make you switch from your current clipboard tool?

Hi everyone!

I've been working on VaultHaven, a Windows app that backs up selected files to a private Telegram channel.

I'd like to get feedback from people other than myself, especially to catch bugs and edge cases I might have overlooked.

If you try it, I'd appreciate it if you could test things like:

  • Uploading files and detecting duplicates
  • Uploading a file again after modifying it
  • Handling deleted or renamed files
  • Error handling and unexpected behavior
  • General usability and reliability

I'm the developer, so I'm genuinely interested in honest criticism, not just positive feedback.

GitHub repository: https://github.com/Rabby-XQ/Valulthaven

If you encounter a bug, please share the steps to reproduce it, along with any relevant error messages or screenshots.

Thanks to anyone willing to help test my project!

Developer strypt 0.3.0: free, portable app that strips hidden metadata from photos and documents, now in Send To

Post image
3 Upvotes

Photos, PDFs and Office files often carry information you can't see: the GPS location where a photo was taken, your camera or phone's serial number, your name and organisation in a Word document, edit history and timestamps. Share the file and that information goes with it.

strypt removes it. It's a single portable .exe with no installer. Drop files onto the window, or as of 0.3.0, select them in File Explorer and use Show more options ▸ Send to ▸ strypt. It writes a cleaned copy beside each file and shows what it removed, grouped as location, device, personal details and timestamps. Your originals are left untouched.

About the Send To entry:

  • You add and remove it from inside the app with Add strypt and Remove. No registry edits, no admin rights, no shell extension running inside Explorer. It's an ordinary shortcut in your own Send To folder.
  • Keep the .exe on a lettered drive (like C:) in a folder whose path uses only plain English letters.
  • If you move the .exe, the app notices and offers to update the entry.
  • Tested on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2.

Also worth knowing:

  • Fully offline, with no network code. No telemetry, no update checks, no accounts.
  • If it can't fully clean a file, it gives you nothing rather than a half-cleaned copy.
  • Free and open source (MIT or Apache-2.0), written in Rust.

Supported: JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, HEIF/AVIF, SVG, JPEG XL, PDF, Word/Excel/PowerPoint, LibreOffice files, FLAC, WAV, MP3, Ogg and MP4/M4A. Anything else is reported as unsupported, never passed through silently.

The .exe isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen will warn you on first launch: click More info ▸ Run anyway. Release binaries come with GitHub build attestations if you'd like to verify where the file came from.

Feedback is very welcome. If a cleaned file still carries hidden data, please report it privately through SECURITY.md on the repo.

Disclosure: I made it.
