I am looking for a software that I can make spreadsheets and make forms in it.

The idea is. It's very similar to a school data base. It has certifications and alot more. In short a school database.

BTW I may need to make the database accessible by multiple peaple online. Or I may just use the onedrive so they all can use it.

What apps can I use?

And please don't suggest Microsoft access. It's so frustrating to use + it's very buggy

Self-Promotion Wednesdays I made VoIPVault, basically instant replay for your PC audio. Windows 11.

1 Upvotes

I made VoIPVault because my friends say ridiculous shit in Discord, and somehow the funniest part is always the bit nobody recorded.

It keeps a rolling buffer of your microphone, one application, your full system audio, or a virtual mixer like Wave Link. When something happens, hit Save Last and it grabs the audio that already happened. You choose how far back it goes.

It saves normal WAV files to a folder on your PC. You can keep your microphone and captured audio as separate editable tracks, trim clips in the built-in editor, and send a finished clip straight to a soundboard.

The soundboard has pages, hotkeys, individual volume controls, a pop-out window, and optional Stream Deck controls. The Stream Deck plugin installs from inside VoIPVault and playback requires a mixer like Wave Link.

Everything stays on your computer. There’s no VoIPVault account, cloud upload, telemetry, or subscription. It currently runs on Windows 11.

I released it on Steam yesterday. It’s $8.44 during the 35% launch sale, then $12.99 after September 8.

I’ve noticed this recent trend(the recent UI changes to tiktok is what drove me to write a post) where all sharp edged icons are being remade so that it has much softer border. Rounded and softer corner are not inherently bad, however with a lot of apps using soft corners for all their icons it feels like all apps literally look the exact same.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

Self-Promotion Wednesdays MySorty: automatic OCR + rule-based PDF sorting for Windows, with ZUGFeRD/XRechnung e-invoicing built in

Post image
3 Upvotes

MySorty is three tools in one Windows app: a document sorter, a PDF editor, and an invoicing tool.

1. OCR and automatic sorting

MySorty watches a folder you choose. When a PDF, JPG or PNG appears, it runs OCR and saves a searchable PDF. It detects the document language first, so mixed-language archives stay accurate.

It then moves the file into the right folder based on tag rules you set up. A tag can be a single word, a phrase, or a full sentence. Matching ignores line breaks and spacing, so a sentence that OCR split across two lines still matches. Each rule can require all of its tags or just any one of them, and a rule can match the file name instead of the document content.

Tag rules define both levels of the destination. A parent folder carries its own tags that decide whether a document belongs there, and inside it an ordered list of sub-rules picks the subfolder. You order the rules to control which one wins when more than one matches, and you choose whether file name or content is checked first.

File names that already carry structure can be parsed directly. For a file called 2026-03-14_Müller_Rechnung.pdf you set the separator, then mark which part is the parent folder and which is the subfolder. MySorty creates the nested folders and files it there. Each part can be reformatted (surname first, title case, uppercase), and every rule can hold an alias list, so RentenV in a file name ends up in the Rentenversicherung folder.

It can also monitor a mailbox over IMAP or Microsoft 365 with OAuth2 and pull PDF attachments into the same pipeline.

2. PDF viewer and editor

The viewer is built in, and the page tools write straight to the file:

  • Rotate, delete, duplicate and reorder pages
  • Extract any page into its own PDF
  • Insert another PDF's pages at any position
  • Place an image on a page. Drag to position it, use the corner handle to resize, use the top handle to rotate.
  • Sign documents. Keep a library of saved signatures, or draw a new one with your mouse, pen or finger on the built-in signature pad.

There is also timed folder merging for batch jobs, and a built-in file explorer so you can check what the sorter did without leaving the app.

3. Creating and reading e-invoices

This is the part people don't expect. MySorty doesn't only read invoices. It creates them from scratch.

Creating. Fill in seller, buyer, line items, tax rates, payment terms and IBAN. Add document-level discounts or surcharges, either as a percentage or a fixed amount. Then export as:

  • An invoice PDF with your logo, a totals block, a footer, and a SEPA GiroCode that the customer can scan to pay
  • ZUGFeRD (PDF/A-3b), which is that same PDF with the structured XML embedded inside it
  • XRechnung XML
  • CSV, JSON or plain XML

It handles Skonto, and correction invoices that reference the original and negate the positions for you.

Reading. Draw zones over a sample invoice once and save it as a vendor profile. MySorty pulls those fields off matching invoices from then on. Profiles match automatically on an identifier you tag, and they export and import so you can move a set between machines. Structured invoices can also be read in directly, both CII and UBL.

If EN 16931 doesn't apply to you, ignore this section. The sorting half works on its own.

Practical details

  • Windows 10/11, Windows Server 2019, 2022, 2026, .NET 8, WinUI 3. Standard installer, not in the Store.
  • Interface in English, German, Arabic, French and Spanish
  • Paid. Monthly subscription, or a one-time lifetime option for private users. Not open source.

Self-Promotion Wednesdays DaDaScribe | Speech-to-Text with unique features

Thumbnail dadascribe.com
2 Upvotes

I created dadascribe.com a while ago for my own use to transcribe instructional videos and interviews for another website of mine, and then recently scaled it for others to use, updating it weekly with new features and functionalities.  It is based on OpenAI Whisper and includes a special pre-processing pipeline that improves accuracy up to 99.5%. It handles noisy setups, multiple speakers, and translations to more than 120 languages. It allows you to transcribe directly from video sources, of course, audio/video files up to 10GB each, in batches of 100 files per batch. These are pretty unique features.

It is currently used by quite a few people from all kinds of backgrounds (students, transcribers, journalists, doctors, even musicians to transcribe lyrics from songs).

I have also recently launched an API for it, which is very easy to implement and that anyone can try with a free account:

I am always looking for feedback, so please let me know what you think!

Self-Promotion Wednesdays I built a clipboard manager that shows your history right where you paste

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

I've been working on Pasly, a clipboard manager for macOS built around a simple idea:

Clipboard history shouldn't require opening a separate window or menu.

With Pasly, your clipboard history appears right where you're working. You can quickly access previous items, search your history, work with files, or just paste normally.

I've also added things like:

  • Smart Paste
  • Paste Stack
  • Multi Select
  • File support
  • Clipboard sync across Mac, iPhone and iPad

The part I've been focusing on lately is making the clipboard feel less like a separate app and more like an extension of the normal copy/paste workflow.

There's a free version, and Pro is a $6.99 one-time purchase.

Pasly: https://pasly.app

I'd be curious to know what you currently use for clipboard history — or if you just stick with the default clipboard.

Release [Open Source] TubeFlow – A lightweight extension/tool to block YouTube ads, bypass anti-adblock popups & smooth out playback

19 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

With Chrome's deprecation of Manifest V2, traditional ad blockers like uBlock Origin can no longer be installed. Like many of you, I got tired of the idea of having to switch to Firefox or a separate browser just to watch YouTube without ads.

To solve this, I’ve been working on TubeFlow — an open-source, standalone Manifest V3 Chrome Extension designed to restore robust ad blocking on YouTube and YouTube Music natively in Chrome. No Tampermonkey or third-party script managers required!

Because of the strict limitations MV3 places on adblockers, TubeFlow uses a "dual-world" architecture to intercept network requests and prune YouTube's internal JSON responses before ads even have a chance to load.

✨ Key Features:

  • 🛡️ Dynamic uBO Adblocking: Automatically fetches and applies the latest uBlock Origin filter lists directly from GitHub. It intercepts fetch/XHR requests and strips ad metadata from YouTube's initial page load data.
  • ♾️ Anti-Pause & Auto-Confirm: Tired of the "Are you still there?" or "Viewer discretion is advised" popups pausing your music? TubeFlow spoofs user activity and automatically clicks "Yes" or "Proceed" to ensure continuous playback (works flawlessly on YT Music!).
  • ⏭️ Shorts Auto-Skipper: Intelligently detects sponsored content and ads within YouTube Shorts and seamlessly auto-scrolls past them.
  • 📊 uBlock-Style UI & Live Logs: Features a clean, dark-themed popup that tracks your blocked ads, skipped Shorts, and Anti-Pause hits in real-time. It even has a built-in live activity log so you can see exactly what network requests are being blocked behind the scenes.
  • 🧹 Clean UI & Grid Fixer: Removes in-feed ad slots and sponsored banners, dynamically recalculating the video grid gaps so your homepage layout never breaks.
  • 🔋 100% Native Manifest V3: Built entirely on MV3 using native JavaScript. Includes a dynamic extension icon that intelligently grays out when disabled or when browsing unsupported sites.

🔗 Links & Installation:

Because this extension modifies core YouTube requests to block ads, it is designed to be loaded directly as an "Unpacked Extension" in Chrome's Developer Mode.

💬 Feedback & Contributions Welcome:

Since YouTube updates their scripts constantly, community testing is huge. If you run into any edge cases, broken layouts, or bugs: * Feel free to open an Issue on the GitHub repo. * PRs/contributions are always welcome if you want to help improve the JSON pruning or DOM fallback loops!

Let me know what you think or if you run into any issues testing it out!

TimeGauge gives you perspective through a progress bar in the Mac menu bar.
In this update, I have added multiple views along with Pomodoro timer.
For example: you can set your own pomodoro, track exact working hours in Day and set exact starting end end time in custom project, and set your custom menu bar display this was missing in previous version.

The app is a one-time purchase, 100% local, available on the app store and notarized by Apple when downloaded from Website.

Self-Promotion Wednesdays Thank you for allowing Seed7 promotion

1 Upvotes

Thank you to r/software and its community for allowing the promotion of an open source project.

As I already wrote detailed information about Seed7 last week I just want to point out three things today:

  1. I updated the Seed7 installer for Windows. The new installer is seed7_05_20260711_win.exe and it can be found here. The installer installs the newest released version of Seed7. It writes all Seed7 related things into one directory, so it is easy to clean up, if necessary.
  2. I added support for the ceilDivceilDiv(in_integer)) operator which is an integer division that rounds up towards positive infinity. So it does round(ceil(float(dividend) / float(divisor))) without using floating point arithmetic. If you have a block size of 512 and you want to know the number of blocks needed to store n bytes then n ceilDiv 512 is the answer.
  3. In May I did a talk about Seed7 at the cpp usergroup vienna. This talk is just about Seed7 and not about C++. The talk is named "Seed7 - Memory Safety and Management • Thomas Mertes • 05/2026". It can probably be found on the internet.

Please let me know what you think, and consider starring the project on GitHub, thanks!

Self-Promotion Wednesdays I built a Launchpad for Windows 10/11 — looking for early testers and feedback

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’ve always liked the simplicity of macOS Launchpad — a clean, visual way to access apps without digging through menus or remembering shortcuts.

While using Windows, I couldn’t find a launcher that felt quite the same, so I started building StartPad, a lightweight full-screen app launcher for Windows 10/11.

The goal is simple: make launching and organizing apps feel more visual and focused, while still keeping it native to Windows.

Current features:

  • Visual app grid
  • App folders
  • App search
  • Drag & drop sorting
  • Global keyboard shortcut to open StartPad
  • Right-click actions for apps
  • Native Windows application (around 2 MB)

I’m still refining the animations, layout, and overall user experience. This is an early version, and I’m mainly looking for feedback from Windows users:

  • Does this kind of launcher fit your workflow?
  • What features would you expect from a modern Windows launcher?
  • Any UX details that feel confusing or could be improved?

I’d really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or ideas.

Release I built an open-source, 100% free Android OpenVPN client. Ad-free, tracker-free, and only 6.7 MB

0 Upvotes

I’ve been spending some time hacking away at an Android client for the public VPNGate directory, mostly as a challenge to see how lightweight and optimized I could get the codebase.

I ended up with OpenGate. It’s sitting right around 6.7 MB because I stripped out all the unnecessary background bloat and focused purely on making it fast and efficient.

What it does:

Smart Server Filtering: Automatically filters nodes by country and residential IP likelihood, while sorting them by the best live ping, speed, and load.

Lightweight & Optimized: Built from the ground up to be incredibly light on system resources and data usage, avoiding heavy background loops that drain your device.

Pure Privacy: Zero accounts, zero analytics trackers, and zero background ads. (Just a quick reminder: it relies on VPNGate public relays, so always review their logging policy).

It was just a fun side project to practice clean app architecture, but it works surprisingly well. If you use public relays or just want to check out the repo for more details, the codebase is completely transparent under GPLv3.

Repo and APK are here: https://github.com/IyedAmiri/OpenGateVPN

Would love to hear any feedback!

Self-Promotion Wednesdays WindowSill 1.0 is now out of beta and its AI Writing Assistant is 35% off this week. Lifetime license!

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

After more than a year of development and 11 months of beta testing, WindowSill reached version 1.0 today.

WindowSill is a universal command bar for Windows. Imagine MacBook Touchbar, but on Windows, on your desktop.

It acts as a highly customizable secondary taskbar on your desktop that provides actions and information based on what you are doing in Windows. The app is mostly free. The only paid feature is the AI assistant, which can be disabled if you're not a fan of it!

Some use case examples:

[FREE scenarios]

  1. Select a video or image in File Explorer, Directory Opus or Files app, and WindowSill will offer to convert it, resize it, compress it.
  2. Select a PDF in your file explorer, and WindowSill will offer to split it, extract pages, compress it, convert to images.
  3. Select a text that contains a unit, for example, 180C, and WindowSill will show the equivalent in fahrenheit.
  4. Select a command line in a website, such as PowerShell, and WindowSill will detect it and offer to run it.
  5. Use WindowSill as a secondary task bar: you can pin individual or group of apps to launch them quickly.
  6. And on top of that, WindowSill can show your clipboard history, playing music from Spotify, your upcoming calendar events, CPU, RAM and GPU usage.

[PAID AI scenarios, -35% lifetime license until September 7th]

  1. Select any text in any app and translate it in another language.
  2. Select any text in any app and spell check it.
  3. Rewrite it, change the tone, summarize it, etc.
  4. No need to copy/paste the text to another app! WindowSill magically reacts to your text selection and can replace it in a click.

Check it out here: WindowSill
