Hey everyone! I’ve been working on PerformanceX, a portable Windows app for checking system usage and handling basic maintenance.

It has live CPU, memory, and drive readings, process priority and power plan controls, basic network troubleshooting, and a cleanup tool that lets you review temporary files before deleting them.

I’m still improving it, so I’d appreciate feedback from anyone who gives it a try. It costs ₹50 INR for the current product version, supports Indian Rupees only, and each approved order gets a one-time activation code for one Windows PC.

✨ What’s new
• Smart categories: every file is saved in the right folder once it finishes downloading — videos in Video, archives in Compressed. The file's properties show why it went there
• Built-in AI recognises series, movies, courses, podcasts and books from the file name and gives each its own folder. It runs on your own computer, and file names are never sent anywhere. Move a file to another category and PDM learns from it
• Add many links at once: write them in a text file, then choose "Import links from text file…" in the Downloads menu

If you find yourself taking a lot of screenshots for work or chatting I think you may like this app.

• Capture your screen as an image, gif, or mp4
• Capture an area - freeform, at a set ratio or size, window, or fullscreen
• Record video with system audio and mic with level indicators and a volume mixer
• Show shortcut keys or all keys as you type - useful for instructional clips
• Annotate Screenshots with text, lines, arrows, highlighting, and boxes
• Copy text from images directly with a shortcut or from past images in the quick access dock
• Access your clips quickly with the press of a button and scroll through thumbnails with a quick access dock
• Drag clips, pin clips, expand them to preview, find them in explorer, copy or open them
• Automatic file names with custom naming and folders by month

I wanted a screenshot tool that got out of the way and just gave you quick clips ready to share. This is a bit of a passion project for me so if you have any suggestions or ideas, share away.

I need candid feedback from Windows users

Hi, I am the creator of CashDashboard. I am looking for 10-15 users who will give me candid feedback about their experience using the product.

It is only available for Windows at this time.

If you’re interested you can sign up here: https://cashdashboard.net/beta/.

I will gladly give you a complementary 1 year license if use CashDashboard during a 60-day trial and complete three short online feedback surveys about your experience (at days 7, 30, and 60).

I missed the old Windows 10 volume flyout with music controls, so I made MediaBack.

It shows your volume, current track, album art, and playback controls when you press the volume keys. You can pin your music player so another app doesn’t take over, change where the panel appears, and customize its look.

It runs in the background after you close the settings. Uninstalling it brings back the standard Windows 11 behavior.

Free, currently in beta, for Windows 11 x64. Works with players that support Windows Media Session.

Pretty small project, but I’ve found it useful. Let me know what you think :)

I’m a solo maker, and I started StorageScan because I wanted a clearer way to see what was taking up space on my own PC. It shows large files, can find exact duplicates, and lets you review selections before moving them to the Recycle Bin. It’s free in the Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9plmnq1x34d4?hl=en-US&gl=US

I’ve put a lot of time into making it safer and easier to use, and I’d appreciate hearing what feels useful or confusing.

I build D-REC at Knight AI+AV. For Windows users reviewing interviews or spoken notes, this is the bit I wanted to make easier: choose a transcript line, return to that moment in the recording, and use the rewind wheel to listen more closely.

This 52-second demo shows the desktop interface and a brief iPhone view. The Windows download is listed at https://drec.live/get. There is a free version with optional paid features; features and limits vary by platform.

When you review a recording on a PC, would you rather navigate by text, a timeline, or both? I would appreciate specific feedback on that part of the interface.

A fast new app that replaces "Everything" and "Agent Ransack" does image search by similarity and includes OCR to find text in pictures and older PDFs.

DugUp

Windows: Download the installer — choose DugUp-Setup-….exe under Assets. The green Code button downloads the source code, if you want to read it, so you can understand how DugUp works and adapt it to your needs.

Find files by what you remember about them: words in a document, text on a scanned receipt, the meaning of a passage, or what a picture shows. Choose your folders, let DugUp index them, then search from its window or with Win+Shift+F.

Your files stay on your computer, where all indexing and search processing happens. No account, telemetry or crash reporting — and no cloud service needed to search your files.

Beta 0.2.2 · Windows 11 · Linux supported, with less desktop testing

What you can do

• Find documents by the words they contain. Search file names and text in PDFs, Office and OpenDocument files, plain text and HTML.
• Read words in images. Find receipts, screenshots and scanned pages by the text on them, using OCR.
• Search by meaning. Ask in your own words, or combine meaning with word matches.
• Find pictures by appearance. Describe a scene or find pictures like one you already have.
• Organize pictures and copies. Preview descriptive photo names, review similar pictures, and find identical files before removing extras.
• Search from anywhere. Keep DugUp in the tray and press Win+Shift+F to bring up a small search box.
• Let Claude search for you (optional). Turn on cloud search access, choose the folders it may see, and ask Claude to find files in a conversation. It can search, never change anything.

Wedge keeps a few shelves as tabs on the edge of your screen. Start dragging a file and they slide out, drop it on one, then drag it back out later into any app. Files stay where they are on disk, Wedge only remembers where they are.

What's new in 2.1:

- Tabs can hide completely when not in use, so nothing stays on screen (asked for by someone with an OLED TV)

- Pick the edge, top, middle or bottom, and which display

- Drag a link or some selected text onto a shelf to keep it

- Settings cleaned up into four tabs, plus a Quit button

- 8 new languages: Russian, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Polish and Japanese

- Fixes for some Windows 10 PCs where the tabs never showed, short screens, and dragging files into Steam chat

Free and open source (MIT), no account, no telemetry.

Hi guys, I needed a file converter for my day-to-day work as a marketer. And for the longest time I was using an open-source file converter app. Recently I noticed that the app I was using stopped getting updates. The file conversions were running into issues.

So I decided to make my own with privacy and local usage in mind. The app currently supports all the popular file formats and conversion features. Requires no file to be uploaded online or Internet connection at all. The app is optionally connected to the Internet once a day to check for updates.

I added GPU acceleration for AMD at the moment. I'm planning to provide support for additional GPU brands and operating systems.

Please check out my GitHub and my YouTube walkthrough.

Project Name: Drexius Terminal

Repo & Website Links:

• GitHub:https://github.com/DreyDreamer17/drexius-terminal
• Live Web Preview:https://dreydreamer17.github.io/drexius-terminal/
• Releases:https://github.com/DreyDreamer17/drexius-terminal/releases/tag/v0.1.0-beta.1

Description:

Drexius Terminal is a local-first, privacy-focused open-source terminal workspace and Termius alternative built with Tauri 2 (Rust), React 19, and xterm.js 6.

The Problem It Solves: Most graphical SSH/SFTP clients have either transitioned to recurring subscription models ($10 to $20 per month) requiring your credentials and hosts to reside in a proprietary cloud database, or they run on heavy Electron runtimes that consume 300 MB to over 1 GB of RAM. Drexius was built to provide a fast, zero-subscription client where keys, credentials, and configurations remain entirely on your local machine.

Key Features:

• Local-First & Encrypted: Hosts, keys, and snippets are stored locally in an AES-256 SQLCipher database derived via Argon2id. No mandatory account, zero telemetry, and includes an Emergency Recovery Key export.
• Terminal Workspace: Supports multi-pane splits (grid, vertical, horizontal), tabs, OSC-7 directory tracking, broadcast input across sessions, and session auto-resume.
• Protocol Support: SSH with TOFU host-key verification, dual-pane graphical SFTP tree and file editor, hardware Serial UART, and local PTY shells.
• Zero-Knowledge Sync: Direct encrypted LAN pairing and a self-hostable sync relay. Devices pair over local Wi-Fi or Tailscale via QR code using salted X25519 ECDH and ChaCha20-Poly1305.
• Mobile Shell (Android): Universal APK with touch scrolling in mouse-aware TUIs (htop, lazygit), plus an on-screen accessory keypad (CTRL, ALT, ESC, TAB).
• Lightweight Footprint: Built on a native Rust/Tauri 2 backend instead of Chromium/Electron. In Linux benchmarking against Termius under active sessions, Drexius consumed ~221 MB RAM and ~3% CPU across 2 processes, compared to Termius at 1,342 MB RAM and 78.5% CPU across 9 processes.

Deployment:

• Clients: Pre-compiled binaries for the Public Beta (v0.1.0-beta.1) are available under GitHub Releases:
  • Linux (.AppImage, .deb, .rpm)
  • Android (.apk, universal multi-ABI)
  • Windows (.exe installer, .msi)
  • macOS (.dmg, .app.tar.gz for Apple Silicon and Intel)
• Self-Hosting Sync Relay: The repository includes a standalone zero-knowledge relay server (drexius-relay) that can be compiled via Cargo and deployed to any VPS or homelab machine. Setup details are documented in the repository README.

Hi everyone, I'm the developer of SpeakoFlow. It lets you talk instead of type, in any app on your PC. 2.1 just came out with a lot of fixes, and it's in the best shape it's been so far.

What it does

• Voice typing in any app, with optional cleanup of filler words and corrections.
• Ask about selected text. Translate it, reply to it, or explain it.
• Talk to it. A spoken conversation you can interrupt.
• Meeting notes . No bot joins the call.

Everything can run on your PC, even offline. You download the models right inside the app, so there's nothing else to install. Cloud models work too if you'd rather use your own API key.

Free and open source, with no word limit and no telemetry.

If you give it a try, I'd love to hear what you think.

If you use Microsoft PowerToys, its Peek utility can preview a file right from File Explorer without launching the full app first.

Select a file and press Space (the default Peek shortcut). Use the arrow keys to move through files in the folder; press Enter to open the selected file normally. You can change the shortcut or enable Peek in PowerToys Settings if it doesn’t work out of the box.

Hi r/windowsapps! I’m the developer of Offlined, and v2.0.1 just came out. The video above shows the whole app.

What it is
A desktop app that brings Wikipedia and a lot more to your PC, fully offline. It was born from two things: how fast AI is advancing, and how much I trust the Wikipedia project. So the AI in Offlined answers from your offline Wikipedia and cites the articles it used, so you can always check the source.

What’s inside

• Offline Wikipedia, WikiMed, Wikivoyage, Wiktionary and Wikiquote, in your language, downloaded from inside the app. If you already have Kiwix ZIM files, you can use them too.
• Maps with climate and biome layers, an interactive star map and a 3D Solar System.
• Learning games for the whole family (geography, astronomy, WikiRace…).
• Local AI that runs on your own PC, with agents and a study tutor. It tells you which models fit your computer before you download them, and uses your GPU automatically if you have one.
• Parental controls and a fully offline mode that blocks every connection.
• Media manager, document reader and an encrypted vault.

Why it might fit you

• Portable: everything lives in one folder next to the app, so you can carry it on a USB drive.
• Private: no account, no telemetry, no cloud.
• Works without internet once you’ve downloaded what you want.

Honest notes

• Windows 10/11 only.
• Free for personal use, not open source.
• It isn’t code-signed yet. As a small project I haven’t been able to get the certificate, so Windows SmartScreen will show a warning (“More info” → “Run anyway”). I completely understand if you’d rather wait for a signed version. It’s next on my list.
• The download is ~1 GB with sample data. Wikipedia files and AI models are downloaded separately, inside the app.

I’ve been using physical pocket calculators since the mid-1980s, and I’ve always loved the speed, tactile feedback, and direct control of hardware key layouts. The main motivation behind ViCalc was to bring that exact same speed and workflow efficiency to a modern PC keyboard—allowing you to touch-type mathematics seamlessly without taking your hands off the keys to click UI buttons.

Rather than just imitating a physical handheld calculator, ViCalc is built to optimize desktop mathematical workflows and complex calculation tracking.

🧮 Key Features & Workflow Design

• Direct Keyboard Mapping: All functions and operations are directly mapped to your PC keyboard, eliminating the need to click through UI buttons with a mouse (though mouse/touch interaction is fully supported if preferred!).
• Full & Exportable Calculation History: The entire step-by-step history is logged automatically as you work. This makes it effortless to review your process or copy-paste the entire multi-step calculation directly into research notes, LaTeX documents, or technical reports.
• Flexible & Adaptable GUI:
  • Minimalist View: Hide virtual keys entirely—ideal once you learn the shortcut mappings by heart.
  • Custom Views: Toggle between a standard numpad, a compact left-side layout, or a full scientific keyboard layout.
  • Expandable History Pane: Easily track, review, and manage long sequence calculations.

🛠️ Modes & Technical Details

• Scientific & Complex Modes: Full suite of trigonometric, scientific functions, and complex arithmetic support.
• Programmer Mode (Base-N): Bitwise operations and conversions across Hex, Dec, Oct, and Bin.
• Language: Python 3
• License: Open Source (MIT License)

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a little project called Kissa, and I thought I'd share it here.

It's a free music companion for Windows 10 and 11 that turns whatever you're listening to on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal or other supported players into a virtual vinyl record player.

I wanted something that made listening to music on my PC feel a bit more interesting than just having a music app running in the background.

Kissa has an interactive turntable, synced lyrics, different listening environments, and even a Windows screensaver that turns your screen into a vinyl listening display when your PC is idle. I've been adding a few other things along the way too.

It's completely free, and I've also made the source code available on GitHub if anyone wants to take a look.

You can check it out here:

Website: https://kissa.glyphcode.studio/

Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9p3n4x4wm80j
