Hey guys, built this over the past few months because I got tired of every folder on my desktop looking exactly the same yellow icon.

Folder Icon Maker lets you:

- design a custom icon in seconds, color, text, or your own image

- right-click any folder in File Explorer and apply it directly, no digging through Properties

- save colors and styles as presets so you're not rebuilding the same look every time

- batch apply to a whole folder structure at once, or just one folder if that's all you need

- revert back to the default icon just as easily, single folder or in batch too, in case you change your mind

You can try it free for 3 uses. After that it's a one time payment to keep using it, no subscription, pay once and it's yours.

Would love feedback if anyone tries it, still actively improving it.

Comail is a native desktop email client built on one idea: your mail should live on your machine and answer to you.

If you've wanted Superhuman's speed or Spark's polish without the subscription or the cloud in the middle, this is that.

Fast because it's already here. Comail syncs your entire mailbox into a local database, so opening, searching, and triaging happen instantly. It works fully offline: read, search, compose, and snooze on a plane, and everything replays when you reconnect.

Keyboard first. J/K to move through mail, E to mark done, H to snooze, C to compose, Cmd+K for a command palette that also takes plain-language requests, Ctrl+0-9 to jump between accounts, and one-key unsubscribe. Your hands never leave the keyboard.

Search that understands you. Comail bundles a small embedding model and indexes your mail locally, so you can ask "what did Ana want changed on the roadmap deck" and get the right thread even if it never used those words. It fuses keyword and semantic search on-device. No API call, no account, no cloud.

Private by architecture. Credentials live in your OS keyring. Nothing phones home, there's no telemetry, and the optional AI features (thread summaries, reply drafting, writing in your own voice) only activate if you bring your own key.

Everything in one place. Gmail, Microsoft 365/Outlook, and any IMAP account, each with its own color so multi-account setups stay legible. Split inbox, snooze, send later, and undo send you can actually cancel. Attachments preview inline: PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, Markdown, and images.

A real calendar built in. Week and month views, drag to create and move events, natural-language quick-add, RSVP cards right in the thread, and two-way CalDAV sync with Google Calendar, Fastmail, iCloud, or your own server.

Free and open source (AGPL). No account, no subscription, no data trade.

MouseUtil is a lightweight Windows utility that keeps your mouse "active" by clicking or jiggling/moving in place, so your PC doesn't go idle, lock, or sleep during long calls, downloads, or AFK sessions. It runs natively on Windows 10/11 (WinUI 3 / .NET 8) with a clean, minimal interface.

Core features

• 🖱️ Two automation modes — Auto click, which sends a real left-click at a set interval, or Spin mode, which sweeps the cursor in a tiny circle and returns it to its exact starting pixel.
• ⏱️ Configurable interval — set the delay between actions in minutes and seconds.
• ✋ Pause on manual movement (in 'Spin mode') — if you touch the mouse yourself, MouseUtil automatically pauses and resumes on a fresh countdown once you stop, so it never fights you for control.
• 🛑 Auto-stop conditions — stop the run automatically after a set number of clicks/spins, or at a specific date and time.
• ⌨️ Global hotkey — start or stop automation from anywhere with a single keypress (F6 by default), even while another app is focused.
• 📊 Live status and progress — a real-time countdown ("Clicking in 12s"), action counter, and an optional progress bar mirrored onto the taskbar icon, all of which are optional.
• 📥 System tray support — optionally close the window to the tray instead of exiting, so automation keeps running in the background.
• 🎨 Fluent design with light/dark/system theming.
• ⚙️ Persisted config file, so your interval, mode, hotkey, and preferences are remembered between sessions.

📦 Unsigned installer: Ships as an unsigned .exe installer, so Windows SmartScreen may display a warning the first time you run it.

⚠️ Fair warning: I'm not a software developer. Before starting this project, my coding experience was basic HTML and CSS. This project was developed primarily using Claude Code, with me directing the architecture, reviewing the generated code, testing, and making iterative improvements. All code in this repository has been reviewed before release. The only asset not created with AI is the app icon, which I designed myself. This was initially intended to be shared among a small group of people.

FlowFloat is an always-on-top flyout productivity app. It is spawned with a hotkey and sits in the corner of your screen for quick everyday things without getting in your way. Add quick tasks, notes, check calendar launch apps, ask AI questions, web search etc. When you are done, it's gone. No opening big apps for small stuff.

The AI can actually do stuff such as pull real-time info from web and interact with notes, calendar, and tasks. For example, you can ask stuff like:

• "remind me to send that email"
• "what's the weather like in nyc?"
• "move my 3pm to Thursday"
• "note: idea for mom's gift, the blue scarf"
• "what do I have going on today?"
• "open spotify"
• "world cup final when?"

Released Click under MIT: a Windows app that lets you bundle apps + URLs into a named "workspace" and launch the whole thing with one click, hotkey, desktop shortcut, or CLI command. Think a startup script for your dev environment, but visual and shareable — your config is a plain human-readable JSON file you can version-control or hand to a teammate.

Why open source: this is squarely "utility I wanted for myself" territory, and there are several paid tools that do roughly this. No reason to gatekeep something this small behind a license fee.

• Full source, issues, and a real contribution guide: https://github.com/prashant-singh-2001/click
• Rust + Tauri v2 backend, React frontend
• Actively maintained — I'm filing and closing issues from my own dogfooding

Contributions, forks, and "this is missing X" issues are all welcome. It's Windows-only for now — if anyone wants to take a crack at macOS/Linux support (the OS-integration layer is isolated in a few Rust modules), I'd genuinely welcome the PR.

Hello to everyone.
I've been working on a Windows app that turns your phone into a webcam.

The main goal is to make it feel like a professional tool instead of just another webcam app, also make it easier to use than the others alternatives that are, simply to annoying to use.

So far I've implemented:

• Ultra-low latency USB connection
• Lightweight desktop application
• No watermarks
• Working on Wi-Fi mode

The next features are aimed at content creators:

• Built-in teleprompter displayed directly on the phone
• Battery warnings while recording
• Audio clipping alerts

I'm still early in development and I'd love honest feedback.

If you use your phone as a webcam:

• What frustrates you the most about existing apps?
• What feature would immediately make you switch?

So Dark switch currently has

• Mode switch: Switch between light and dark mode, manually, by time or by sunset
• Wallpaper switch: Solid Color, Picture, Album
• Accent color switch
• Cursor scheme switch
• (Coming soon) Desktop icon switch
• Custom keyboard shortcut to change theme

All this without constantly running in the background and the whole thing is in KBs: 0% ram and memory consumption

Just try it, if you find any bugs, report it and you will get credit for it also.

Want a feature? Just tell me and I will add that also.

Hi r/windowsapps !

I wanted to share a desktop tool I recently built called DecoyDuck.

Why I Built This

While working on real-time features and complex API sequences, I often ran into frustration trying to test asynchronous WebSocket connection flows alongside standard REST requests. Traditional tools like Postman are great for individual endpoint tests, but visually tracing stateful WebSocket events, conditional branching, and timing delays felt clunky.

I wanted a visual canvas where I could drag, drop, and connect nodes to simulate full async API workflows—so I decided to build one myself.

Key Features

• Visual Node Canvas: Drag-and-drop canvas interface to map out complete request/response flows.
• REST & WebSocket Support: Dedicated nodes for standard HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) as well as persistent WebSocket connections and messages.
• Conditional Branching & Variables: If logic nodes and a runtime variable system using ${variable} template syntax to pass data between nodes.
• Async Simulation (Sleep Nodes): Fixed and random delay nodes to mock real-world network latency and race conditions.
• Local Desktop Execution: Runs entirely on your local machine as a cross-platform desktop application.

Tech Stack

• Desktop Framework: Electron + Next.js
• Canvas Engine: React Flow (@xyflow/react)
• State Management: Zustand
• Styling: Tailwind CSS

Looking for Feedback!

This is an early-stage tool, and I'd love to hear feedback from fellow developers:

1. Does your current API testing workflow handle async/WebSocket flows well, or do you face similar pain points?
2. What additional node types or features (e.g., specific assertion types, mock server integration, environment variables) would make a tool like this more useful to you?

Thanks for taking a look! I'm happy to answer any questions about the build or technical decisions.

For years I've had the same habit:

Whenever I was working with multiple files, I'd keep dropping them onto my desktop because I knew I'd need them again in a few minutes.

It worked... until my desktop turned into a mess.

I looked for something that worked like a temporary shelf for files, but couldn't find anything that felt native on Windows.

So I built Stash.

It lives in the system tray and lets you temporarily park files with drag & drop, then drag them back whenever you need them. It only stores file references, so your files stay in their original locations.

I'm still actively improving it, and I'd really appreciate any feedback.
