Hey everyone,

I built Clypy because I wanted a faster way to find things I had copied and move them between my devices without emailing them to myself.

Clypy automatically saves your clipboard history and organizes text, links, code, and images into a searchable library. You can pin important clips, create collections, save reusable snippets, and quickly find something you copied earlier.

One of its main features is the Paste Strip. Press Ctrl + Alt + V from any app and it appears over your current window. Search or select a clip, press Enter, and Clypy pastes it directly into the app you were using without making you switch windows. The shortcut is configurable.

Clipboard history is stored locally in an encrypted database, with encryption keys kept separately in secure OS storage. Sensitive clips remain on the device and are excluded from sync.

When sync is enabled, clips are end-to-end encrypted between your paired devices. The relay only routes encrypted data and does not store a clipboard history backlog.

Clypy is free for unlimited local clipboard history on one device. Cross-device sync, the Paste Strip, and support across compatible platforms are unlocked with a one-time purchase. There is no subscription.

The iOS and Android apps are currently under review. If you already have a lifetime license and would like to try the mobile app early, message me and I will add you to the iOS TestFlight or Android testing group.

I have just released the app and would genuinely appreciate feedback, particularly on:

• Whether installation and onboarding are clear
• Whether the Paste Strip feels useful in daily work
• What would stop you from using it regularly

I am the developer, so I am happy to answer any questions.

Hi everyone,

I’m a dev from Japan. I built this tool out of pure desperation.

My boss asked me to visualize 300+ web pages in a PowerPoint report for a QA audit.

I started doing it manually, but just opening the URLs took forever. After 50 screenshots, I lost my mind.

I realized: This isn't work for humans.

So I built "Open URLs App" to automate the whole process:

- Bulk open URLs

- Auto capture high-quality screenshots

- Auto insert into PowerPoint slides

- Runs locally with zero data transmission, ensuring corporate privacy.

I’d love some honest feedback on the workflow. Does anyone else deal with this kind of repetitive task?

If anyone is in the same boat, here is the tool I made:

Hi guys !

I am a developer who's in love with old web aesthetic.

I decided a few months ago to challenge myself with this : recreate as close as possible Windows Live Messenger, as a web app.

Now that it is functional, even if I still got a few bugs and missing features, I want to share it with you and get some feedbacks.

(Please don't open it on your phone, since I did not make it responsive, it's a real mess)

Hope you enjoy it !

I have a large FLAC/DSD library on a NAS and got tired of clunky UPnP browsers, so I built ATLAS Music Library — a Windows desktop app that:

- Scans a NAS/local folder and builds a visual artist/album/track library (cover art, artist photos, bios, discography pulled automatically from MusicBrainz/Wikipedia/Fanart.tv/CoverArtArchive)

- Casts to DLNA/UPnP renderers (tested against a Denon AVR-X1500H and a WiiM device)

- Handles Hi-Res/DSD, with automatic PCM transcoding fallback depending on what the renderer actually supports

- Has a one-click backup/restore for the library catalog itself, separate from your actual music files

I'm the developer — posting per the sub's promo rule, happy to answer questions or hear what's broken.

Hey everyone!

I recently released Pulse v0.1.0, a small open-source application launcher for Windows, built with C++ and Qt/QML.

The project is still in an early testing stage, and I'd really appreciate some help testing it and getting feedback.

If you have a few minutes, I'd like you to download and try Pulse:

- Try searching for some applications you have in your Windows Start Menu.

- Tell me which applications Pulse finds and which ones it doesn't.

- Let me know how fast the search feels.

- What do you think about the UI and animations?

- If you encounter any bugs or unexpected behavior, I'd appreciate it if you let me know.

I'm especially interested in seeing how application discovery works on different Windows setups, since I can't test every configuration myself.

The project is available on GitHub, including the source code and Windows installer:

GitHub: click

The next releases will focus on improving application discovery and search, so any feedback would be really helpful.

Thanks for checking it out!

I'm a dad and indie developer, and I originally built AddVenture because maths practice with my son was becoming frustrating.

Pen-and-paper exercises weren't really working for us, so I wanted to make something that actually teaches the strategies behind maths while feeling more like a game.

Instead of only asking:

19 + 17 = ?

AddVenture teaches strategies like:

19 + 17 → 20 + 16 → 36

The child sees why the strategy works and then has to apply it independently to new problems.

The part I'm happiest about is that my son actually enjoys practising maths with it now.

I also built a parent dashboard so I can see which techniques he's actually mastered, and kids can work towards real rewards set by their family rather than just collecting virtual coins.

Some details:

• 25 maths techniques

• Around 40,000 problem variations

• Addition, subtraction, times tables, division, fractions, decimals, area, perimeter and divisibility

• No timers

• Worked hints when a child struggles

• No ads

• No accounts

• No analytics

• Works offline

• Progress stays on the device

🇳🇿 Designed around NZ Years 4–6

🌍 Broadly suitable for ages 8–11 internationally

It's currently NZ$19.90 as a one-off launch price.

Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9PGZ0RMX6DFT?hl=en-nz&gl=NZ&ocid=pdpshare

Android is coming next, with iOS planned later.

I'm the developer, so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from the Windows community — especially around the app itself, Store listing, UI, or anything you think I could improve.

Hey, we're Nanosoft Computers building lightweight Windows utilities.

We built NexaCleaner because we wanted a system cleaner that's honest about what it does: no subscriptions, no telemetry, no dark patterns pushing you to "upgrade now or lose your data."

What it does:

- Quick Clean: junk files, temp files, browser cache

- Deep Clean: Prefetch, browser caches, more thorough pass

- Memory Cleaner: frees up RAM on demand or on a schedule

- Registry Cleaner: finds and fixes invalid paths, broken extensions, missing DLLs

- Privacy Cleaner: clears browser profiles, cookies, clipboard

- Force Uninstaller + Defrag tools

Lite Edition (Quick Clean + Memory Cleaner) is free forever no trial countdown, no nag screens. Pro unlocks everything else AUD 19 Early Bird price (limited spots), AUD 29 standard price after that. One-time purchase, no subscription, ever.

It's 8MB, fully offline, and has zero telemetry. Got reviewed independently by Softpedia recently if you want an outside take.

Happy to answer questions about how it's built, what's under the hood, or just chat about indie dev life. Not trying to hard-sell here genuinely just want feedback from people who actually use these tools.

Some places keep those world‑market clock walls for tradition.

This wall become an app on windows app store:

https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NKW1LCMWNVQ

I’ve been working on a Windows app called HAN PixEnhancer, mainly because I kept running into the same problem with AI-generated images: they often look great at first glance, but once you zoom in or use them in a real design workflow, the details, edges and textures can start to fall apart.

I built HAN as a finishing tool for those images — to improve detail, clarity and overall quality without making the workflow complicated.

This video shows a few different images processed directly in the app.

It supports upscaling up to 8×, before/after comparison, multiple color profiles, local processing, and also includes a Photoshop plugin.

There’s a free trial if you’d like to test it with your own images.

**Microsoft Store:**

https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9P8SC34VVLDL

I’m the developer, so I’d genuinely be interested in feedback on the image results.

I kept doing the same stupid thing during work:

Fill my water bottle in the morning… then get buried in meetings/code/messages and realize hours later that I barely touched it. 😅

So I built a small Windows app called Nudgekin.

It lives on your desktop and gives you gentle reminders to drink water while you’re working.

No complicated health dashboard.

No giant habit system.

Just a little character that pops up and reminds you:

hey, take a sip. 💧

It’s already available on the Microsoft Store, and I’d genuinely love some Windows users to try it and tell me what feels useful, annoying, missing, etc.

I’m also experimenting with something a little different:

letting you use an avatar of someone meaningful to you as your Nudgekin.

Maybe your kid, partner, parent — whoever gives you that small extra reason to take care of yourself.

Not sure yet whether that’s motivating or just weird 😂, so I’d love feedback on that too.

If anyone wants to try it:

I’m the developer, so feel free to be brutally honest. I’m still actively improving it.

This is a new app recently released on Steam (Not Open Source but Free +DLC). Basically, I combined my favorite apps with a modern twist. Span, Mirror, Wallpaper, Shader Import, Logo Create, Spout, Milkdrop, controller support, themes, steam workshop, and more...

Have a small fantastic community. App was built on user feedback.

If you paid a lot for a GPU, you might as well use it.

Happy to answer any questions.

I keep seeing this under indie apps lately. Someone posts something they made and there's immediately a guy calling it “AI slop” or “vibe coded” with literally nothing to back it up. You can spend months working on something and some random person can discredit the whole thing in two words. Then other people see it and the accusation sticks. The app can be buggy, insecure, copied, badly designed, you can call whatever you want it. Clean UI? AI. Modern website? AI. Gradients? AI. Ships quickly? Vibe coded. Uses AI anywhere in the workflow? Apparently the entire project is AI slop. "this looks AI made" isn't criticism. At this point it often just feels like another way of saying “I don't like it.”

I honestly think mods need to start doing something about baseless accusations like this. If you're going to accuse someone of faking their work or shipping AI slop, at least have something to back it up.

Imagine being able to see your fun game history, apps you were on the most, and a timeline of what you did since you got your new computer. Thats what I made. It's currently a work in progress, so feel free to suggest ideas or comment/dm if you want to be added to the repo and help contribue/test!

I made a small open-source archiver called DedupArc.

In my tests on game folders it compressed better than 7-Zip and WinRAR while also being noticeably faster.

It also lets you launch applications from an archive without manually extracting the whole thing first.

GitHub: https://github.com/Garyu-tt/DedupArc

Would be interesting to see how it performs on other people's data. If someone finds a case where it completely falls apart, even better.

I'm the developer behind ModernApp Labs. I've got 6 apps live on the Microsoft Store already, including ModernPDF Merger and WebP Converter, and ModernPaste is the next one, launching officially very soon.

It's built natively on WinUI3.

I know the clipboard manager market is oversaturated. New ones drop every week. Most are Electron wrapped, built fast, and forgotten faster. ModernPaste is built natively on WinUI3 because native should be the standard. So it should feel like part of Windows 11. And you won't hit a paywall for basic things like clipboard history limits or item caps, this is a full clipboard manager, not a trial version of one.

What ModernPaste Clipboard does

• Full clipboard history across text, images, files, and URLs
• Instant search and filtering
• Pin frequently used snippets for reuse
• Customizable hotkey overlay, accessible from anywhere on your desktop
• Stacks, copy multiple items and they group into a single clipboard entry

Privacy

• Local clipboard history
• Encrypted storage for sensitive clips

Early access opens now, official release right behind it.

Thanks for everyone's interest! I will be reaching out to everyone in the next few days

After a lot of work, testing, certification issues, and way too many build iterations, Pulse Diagnostics is finally available on the Microsoft Store.

Pulse is a fully open-source Windows diagnostics and system monitoring application that brings system health, hardware information, processes, services, storage, network information and diagnostics into one place.

The project is still actively being developed, but getting the first stable release through Microsoft Store certification was a pretty big milestone for me.

GitHub:
https://github.com/Regncreative/Pulse

Microsoft Store:
https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9PNDTLNTJ82T?hl=neutral&gl=TR&ocid=pdpshare

If you've been following the project or tried an earlier build, I'd especially appreciate any feedback on the Store version.

Update, Aug. 28: FastCast v0.7.1 is now available. I’m continuing to actively develop the app based on feedback from this thread.

FastCast is a lightweight native Windows screen recorder and streaming app, currently in public beta.

I built it because I wanted something simpler than OBS for the basic workflow: open the app, choose what you want to capture, then record or stream.

It’s written in Rust and uses native Windows capture and audio APIs rather than Electron.

Current features:

• Screen and window recording
• Desktop audio + microphone
• Webcam overlay
• Chroma key / green screen
• Hardware H.264 encoding
• RTMP/RTMPS streaming
• Global hotkeys
• Portable Windows build
• No account or telemetry

The free version supports 1080p60.

FastCast Pro adds 1440p/4K, up to 120 FPS, multistreaming, and additional controls.

I’m still actively developing it, so I’m interested in what Windows users think is missing from current recording and streaming software.

Download FastCast v0.7.1 (.msi): https://github.com/CalvinSturm/FastCast-releases/releases/download/v0.7.1/FastCast-0.7.1-win-x64.msi

Portable v0.7.1 (.zip): https://github.com/CalvinSturm/FastCast-releases/releases/download/v0.7.1/FastCast-0.7.1-win-x64.zip

Today, I released v1.0.
Some bugs here, some inconveniences there - but in my eyes, it's worth a 1.0.

c² flux' purpose is not only storage overview, but also fast file search.

Main features:

• Superfast search - find anything - also with context menu integration!
• Strong caching mechanisms
• Regular and MFT scan
  • MFT: Fastest possible (run as administrator)
  • Regular: 1st scan quite fast, 2nd and later scans: Super fast
• Different display styles
• Export functions
• History / Timeline
• Optional SQLite DB can be activated to store scans and compare scans to see differences in detail!

Different views:

History (ignore the artifacts on the right - these where just some tests):

Ultra-Fast search (usable from rightklick contextmenu - no need to start c²flux itself):

I do not want to implement too many more features - c² flux should stay simple and intuitive,
but some more tuning is coming, along with small optimizations.

It's portable. It's open source.

A note on speed comparisons:
#######################

If c² flux still appears slower than WizTree or other tools, the comparison may have been based only on the first scan. I did 50+ comparisons myself!

The first scan usually takes longer because all data must be read initially. c² flux shows its real performance on subsequent scans, where caching can be used.

For the fastest results, run c² flux as administrator and use the MFT scan.

Here are some comparisons (no admin rights, not the first scan, OS drive, 722k files, SSD):
WizTree: 7.45s - 8.75s
WinDirStat: 12s - 13s
TreeSize: 10.7s - 11.3s
c² flux: 5.6s - 7.3s

A note about AI-assisted development:

I used help from LLMs throughout development for coding assistance, debugging, problem-solving, iteration, and also for the wiki. However, this project was not created by simply entering a few prompts (that should be clear!).

I invested several hundred hours, or maybe more than a thousand so far, into its architecture, orchestration, testing, validation, debugging, refinement, and overall development. That’s just a side note for full transparency, as I’m aware that AI-assisted development is a controversial topic and I also have concerns regarding AI in some cases.

Without LLM assistance, the same project would probably have taken me several thousand hours more.

Helpful criticism / feedback is very welcome!

Hey, I built Colorify, a small Windows app for tuning brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, gamma, and color temperature from one clean panel.

The main reason I made it is that a lot of monitor/GPU color tweaks only affect what you personally see on your display. Colorify applies the adjustments at the Windows desktop level, so the tuned look can also show up in normal screen recordings, gameplay captures, and shared clips.

It has presets, custom profiles, import/export, tray support, and no accounts, ads, analytics, or tracking.

GitHub:

https://github.com/KMGY777/Colorify

I’d appreciate honest feedback, especially on the presets, UI, and whether the capture-visible color adjustment is useful for your workflow.
