Last week I posted Edge-Drop, my open source clipboard manager for Windows, and received a lot of thoughtful feedback.

Instead of moving straight to new features, I spent the last several days improving the things people pointed out and redesigning one of the parts I wasn't completely happy with: the Preview Flyout.

The biggest improvements include:

• One-click paste directly from text, images, and file previews
• Drag clipboard items into an open Preview Flyout to merge stacks
• Better layouts for PDFs, ZIPs, folders, and other single-file previews
• Rich image previews instead of generic file icons
• Smoother hover behavior and cleaner animations

I also rebuilt the multi-monitor system after realizing the original implementation wasn't robust enough.

That update now includes:

• Full multi-display support
• Real-time System Tray synchronization
• Automatic recovery when displays are connected or disconnected
• Animation controls for users who prefer less visual overhead

The previous release also focused heavily on security, adding Windows DPAPI encryption for clipboard history along with several hardening improvements.

One thing I've learned while building this project is that the hardest part isn't adding features. It's making dozens of small interactions feel natural enough that people stop thinking about them.

If you saw my last post, I'd love to know whether these changes move the project in the right direction.

If you're seeing Edge-Drop for the first time, what would you expect from a clipboard manager that Windows doesn't already provide?

Two weeks ago you gave me feedback, here's 1.1.0 with dark mode

My original post

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a Chrome/Edge extension called copy++ Browser.

It lets you save text, image URLs, references, and snippets into a local browser stack instead of losing each item when you copy something new.

I just added a few new features:

• Export the whole saved stack to XML
• Import XML back into the extension
• Drag items into whatever order you want
• Keep the context-menu paste/delete order matching the popup order
• Export a single saved item as PNG or PDF
• Use the exported item files with LLMs, docs, or other workflows

The XML export/import is meant for backup and moving saved stacks around. The drag ordering is useful when you’re building a prompt, collecting research, or arranging snippets before pasting/exporting.

Would love feedback on the XML workflow and whether single-item export should support more formats.

Hi, I'm Domenico, a software engineer from Italy. I've worked in software development for more than ten years, and for the past 18 months I've been building Quven during evenings and weekends.

On Windows, Quven comes as one installer containing both the self-hosted media server and the desktop client. You point it at your movie, TV and documentary folders, then browse and play the library through a proper desktop application rather than a web wrapper.

The client uses direct play when Windows can handle the original file and transcodes only when necessary. It also supports GPU-accelerated HDR-to-SDR tone mapping, multiple files for the same title, audio and subtitle selection, and image-based subtitles. Quven never modifies the original media files.

The Windows bundle is free for home use, including hardware transcoding and self-managed remote access. The paid boundary is infrastructure that costs me money to operate, mainly the optional managed relay and hosted web client.

Quven is closed-source. The installer is currently distributed directly from the website rather than through the Microsoft Store, and it is not yet code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen will display a warning. The download page explains this clearly before installation.

It supports Windows 10 version 1809 or later and Windows 11. The Founders window is also open for the first 100 eligible accounts: Pro is included at no cost through 31 December 2026, with no payment card required today.

Download and details:

If anyone tries it, I'm particularly interested in honest feedback about the Windows installation, first-run experience and desktop playback.

Thank you all!

This is a quick 10-second demo of automatically importing, cropping, and aligning 100 images into PowerPoint slides.

I wonder if anyone actually needs this though lol?

Hi!

I recently open-sourced a personal project of mine called PowerDesk.

I had some free time and always felt that the default Windows File Explorer was a bit limiting for everyday use, so I decided to build a modern alternative focused on speed and workflow.

Some of the current features include:

• Fast global search

• Multi-tab interface

• Dual-pane mode

• Folder analysis

• File preview support

• Favorites

• Tags

• Workspace management

This is my first public open-source desktop application, so I'm mainly looking for honest feedback on the usability, UI/UX, and overall direction of the project.

You can try it here:

PowerDesk Github Release

I'd really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or criticism. Thanks!

I've spent the last 6 months working on Voisu. It started as a Wisprflow clone but has expanded and been refined over time. Now it's one of the most feature packed apps on Windows.

The highlights:

- Transcription

- 50+ Quick actions (translate text, read aloud, advanced screenshotting, focus mode...)

- Command palette (search, stocks, download youtube videos, bypass twitter login...)

- Desktop picker (preview desktops, quickly switch, set apps to open on specific desktop)

- Messaging apps organizer (Ferdium alternative. Add teams, discord, instagram and more. One shared notification count for all)

Everything is free other than AI features.

Hi everyone,

I've been using Jottacloud for several years and currently store a very large archive with hundreds of thousands of files.

Over time I ran into two limitations that became increasingly frustrating.

The first one is Photos. I automatically upload photos and videos from my iPhone, but once everything ends up in the Photos section I find it difficult to organize the content and move older files into Archive. I often need to locate files by date, type or other criteria before deciding what to move, and that isn't possible to do.

The second limitation is the search itself. The web interface searches the entire account every time. When you have a very large archive, I'd often like to search only inside the folder I'm currently browsing, or filter results by file type, extension or date. Searching the whole cloud usually returns far too many results to be really useful.

Because of this, I started building a small desktop application for myself called JottaExplorer.

Some of the current features are:

* live browsing of your Jottacloud folders;
* local indexing for very fast searches;
* search within the current folder or across the whole archive;
* results are prioritized by relevance rather than simple alphabetical order, making large archives much easier to browse;
* filters by filename, date, extension and file type;
* local cache for opening downloaded files.

It does not replace the official Jottacloud client. The official client is still the right tool for synchronization and backups. JottaExplorer is simply intended as a companion application focused on browsing and searching large archives.

At the moment it is Windows only. There is no macOS version yet.

I'm sharing it here because it might also be useful to other Jottacloud users. It's still in beta, so I'd really appreciate any feedback, suggestions or feature requests.

Thanks, and I hope someone else finds it useful.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a tool I’ve been building over the past few months to solve a huge headache I had every day.

I live in Miami, where people speak Spanish, English, Portuguese, and everything in between on the same screen. Whenever I’d try to follow a foreign lecture, a YouTube video, or a Zoom call, I’d constantly have to pause, turn on buggy auto-captions, or paste text into Google Translate. It killed the flow completely.

So I decided to build WireLang.

Basically, it listens to whatever audio is playing on your Windows PC and translates the voice right into your headphones live (usually under 1 second of delay).

A few things I tried to get right while building it:

• It translates system audio directly: It doesn't matter if it's Zoom, Chrome, Discord, or a random media player—if your computer plays it, WireLang translates it.
• You still hear the original voice: The app gently ducks the background audio so you never lose the speaker's tone, but the translated voice comes through super clear.
• On-screen overlay: It puts a small floating control bar over your screen so you can pause or tweak volume balance without switching windows.
• Privacy first: I didn't want people's personal meetings or calls on any server. Transcripts, summaries, and optional recordings stay saved locally on your own PC encrypted with AES-256.
• Bring Your Own Key option: If you already have a free Google Gemini API key, you can just plug it in and use it without paying for credits.

We also just listed it on the Microsoft Store, so you can install it clean without browser warnings: 👉 Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nmrmr5705t7

Or grab the direct setup from the site if you prefer: 👉 Website: https://wirelang.com

(Also doing a launch special right now with code HUNT50 if anyone wants to grab it half off!)

I'd really love to hear your thoughts if you give it a spin. If you run into any bugs or have ideas for features you'd like to see, drop a comment below and I'll jump right in to answer!

Thanks for checking it out!

I've been looking for a simple way to run Whisper locally on Windows without uploading audio to the cloud, so I ended up building one.

The main goal was privacy: audio stays on your PC, there's no API key, no subscription, and once it's installed it works completely offline.

Features include:

• Local Whisper transcription
• Audio never leaves your machine
• No API keys
• Free to use
• Windows desktop app

I'd really appreciate feedback from people who regularly use dictation or transcription tools. In particular, I'm interested in hearing:

• Is there anything missing from your workflow?
• Would you choose local transcription over a cloud service?
• Any suggestions for improving the UI or performance?

Happy to answer any questions or discuss how it works under the hood.

I'm the developer of Korva. I built it after seeing people get stuck with old .pub files once Publisher was no longer available to them.

The free version opens a .pub file, pulls out its text and embedded images, lets you tidy the page, and exports it to PDF. It reflows the content instead of recreating the Publisher layout exactly, so complex files may need some cleanup.

The $49 one-time license is for saving editable .kva projects, mail merge, and master pages. Opening, editing, and PDF export stay free.

I'd like to hear how it handles older .pub files. If something imports badly, tell me what went wrong.

Solo dev here, and user #1 of my own app. My problem: fleeting thoughts died in the seconds it took to open a notes app. So FlowDesk lives on the desktop — hit Ctrl+Shift+Space anywhere, type, Enter, done.

Notes pile up in a staging area; drag down the ones worth keeping to make them todos, drop them on a date to schedule. Finish everything today and a photo you chose gets stamped on the calendar — fill a whole week and the stamps turn gold. New in v0.2.10: one-way mirroring to a dedicated Google Calendar (beta), so your schedule shows up on your phone.

Tauri 2 (Rust) + React, everything stored locally in SQLite, no server, no analytics, free.

I've noticed a ton of people fumbling during meetings and interviews

So I built Notch to solve just that!

How it works:

You type/paste your notes and voila, you now have an invisible-to-screensharing notes app/teleprompter that follows your voice (using a model running on your device, no wifi)

Features:

• Follows your pacing
• Invisible to screensharing
• Mulitlingual support (English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese)

Open to any feedback!

Hi everyone,

I’m an indie developer, and I’ve just released a major update to EnergyFlow, a free Windows app I originally built to track energy during the workday.

Most productivity tools record tasks, time, or habits. EnergyFlow focuses on a different question:

What kinds of work actually drain your energy, and what helps you recover?

You can quickly log your current energy level, add some context such as meetings, deep work, overtime, breaks, or mood, and review the patterns later.

The main features include:

- Quick energy check-ins with five energy levels

- Tags for tasks, meetings, mood, and other context

- A desktop widget for faster logging

- Timeline and statistics

- Analysis of possible relationships between energy and different work situations

- Local-first storage with no account or cloud required

- Dark and light interfaces

The app is completely free. I’m not trying to replace task managers or habit trackers — it’s meant to be a small personal tool for understanding how your workday affects you over time.

You can find it by searching for “EnergyFlow” in the Microsoft Store.

I’d appreciate any feedback, especially on the onboarding, UI, analysis features, or anything that feels confusing or unnecessary.

About a month ago, I asked people here how they switch between projects because I didn't want to build a solution to a problem that only I had.

I expected everyone to have roughly the same workflow.

I was completely wrong.

Some people have 9 virtual desktops.

Some keep separate desktops for each project.

Some close everything and start from scratch every time.

One person even said they only shut their PC down about once a month because rebuilding their workspace after a restart is such a hassle.

That stuck with me.

I realized the real problem wasn't opening apps.

It was rebuilding context.

For me, switching back into a project usually meant reopening browser windows, VS Code, File Explorer, documents, and then spending a few minutes remembering where I left off. It wasn't difficult, it was just repetitive.

So I spent the last month building DeskSnap for myself.

It saves an entire workspace and lets me restore it later instead of rebuilding everything manually after a restart or when switching back to a project.

One thing I learned from the replies is that there isn't a "right" workflow. Some people love virtual desktops. Some keep everything open for weeks. Others prefer a completely clean slate every time.

I'm curious where something like this fits.

If you already have a workflow you love, what's the one thing that still annoys you?

If anyone wants to try it, I'll send the link.

I wanted a tool to facilitate my ISO management, I did that manually for years when I was sysadmin and because sometime I help family member to reinstall stuff and give second life to old device I still rely on the ISO files stored on my Zalman drive.

I wanted a tool that could check whether my ISO files were corrupted, find out if a newer version existed, and easily update everything.

Since I couldn't find what I was looking for, I created it myself:
