Ciao a tutti! Sono uno sviluppatore indipendente e negli ultimi mesi ho lavorato a Saetta, una piccola utility per Windows che copia, sposta e elimina file. La condivido perché ci ho messo molto impegno, e sarei contento se qualcuno la trovasse utile.

Perché l'ho creata

L'idea è venuta dal copiare cartelle con migliaia di piccoli file: Esplora file impiegava minuti, e mi sono incuriosito sul perché. Copia un file alla volta, e con i file piccoli il tempo va più nel gestire ogni singolo file che nel copiarlo effettivamente. Volevo vedere quanto meglio potesse essere fatto rimanendo dentro Esplora file, senza cambiare il modo in cui lo usi.

Come funziona

Ho scritto un motore di copia da zero in C++ nativo. Prima di iniziare, guarda il tipo di disco su cui sta scrivendo e cambia strategia:

• SSD: copia molti file contemporaneamente.

• Disco rigido: li scrive in un flusso ordinato, così la testina non salta avanti e indietro.

• Chiavetta USB: scrive i file piccoli in parallelo. Anche l'eliminazione avviene in parallelo. Uso robocopy solo per cartelle di rete e sincronizzazione cartelle.

I tempi che ho misurato

Sul mio PC (i7-9750H, Samsung 990 PRO SSD, Windows 11, media di tre esecuzioni), rispetto a Esplora file:

• 20.000 file di 64 KB, SSD a SSD: 7,7 s vs 3 min 11 s

• Eliminare 10.000 piccoli file in 2.000 cartelle: 1,6 s vs 17,8 s

• 20.000 file da un disco rigido esterno a un altro: 37,6 s vs 2 min 38 s Ho pubblicato ogni misurazione, quelle in cui la differenza è piccola, come copiare alcuni file molto grandi, perché mi sembrava giusto essere trasparente.

Come si usa

• Dal menu contestuale di Esplora file, su Windows 11 e nel menu classico.

• Se lo attivi, anche con Incolla, Ctrl+V, trascinando file e Elimina.

• La finestra mostra la velocità reale e il tempo rimanente, e puoi mettere in pausa.

• Un file in uso non ferma il lavoro: viene saltato e segnalato alla fine.

Gratis, senza pubblicità

È gratuito, senza pubblicità e nessun account, e non raccoglie dati. C'è anche Saetta Professional, un acquisto una tantum per chi vuole qualcosa in più, come copie verificate o backup programmati: è così che spero di sostenere il progetto.

Hey everyone,

For the past while I've been working on Atlas, a file manager for Windows. It started because I was tired of Explorer hanging on big folders and taking forever to find files I'd just saved. At some point I stopped complaining and started building.

The main goal was speed. It's native, GPU-accelerated, and everything runs locally. On my machine it opens a 5,000-file folder in about 100 ms, compared to around 4 seconds in Explorer, and search stays instant across millions of paths. You just start typing.

A few things I put a lot of care into:

- Space to preview almost any file

- ZIP, RAR and 7z open like regular folders

- Tabs and splits, with Miller columns if you like that workflow

- Faster move file times.

- Convert any file.

- A right-click menu you can search by typing

It's still an alpha, so there will be rough edges. It's free, with no account required, and a Linux version is in progress. What I really need now is feedback from people who use their file manager seriously. What slows you down in Explorer, or in whatever you're using now? That's what I want to fix next. I'll be around in the comments to answer questions.

Dev here. When the guys at ArtCraft rebuilt Adobe's apps in Rust with Claude, I wanted the same for the download manager everyone knows, heh, IDM. I honestly never liked the licence nags. So I built Mister Download Manager, same classic layout on a new engine in Rust, free and GPL, no trial and no ads.

On my PC against IDM 6.42 with the same server, a 1 GB file took 1.01 s vs 5.46 s and a 256 KB file took 0.03 s vs 3.14 s. The test server is in the repo if you wanna rerun it.

It takes files straight from your browser (Chrome, Edge and Firefox add-ons), has crash-safe resume, torrents and magnet links, video through yt-dlp, a scheduler, 9 themes plus your own, Real-Debrid, AllDebrid and Premiumize, and you can control it from your phone. There's a setup and a portable zip.

It's not on the Microsoft Store yet, the download is on the site or on GitHub Releases.

Claude wrote a lot of the code, I decide what it does and how it looks and I test every release myself.

Let me know what you think! And if you like it, a star on GitHub really helps it get in front of more people :)

Hi everyone, I'm the developer of Purge Uninstaller. Version 1.0.1 just came out, so I wanted to share it here and get some honest feedback.

The idea is simple: nothing gets deleted until you've seen it.

How it works

1. You pick an app and Purge runs the app's own uninstaller first.

2. Then it scans for what was left behind: AppData folders, registry keys, startup entries, services, shortcuts.

3. Only clear matches are ticked for you. Folders shared by several apps stay protected.

4. Everything you remove goes to a restore area first (registry keys are backed up before they go), so one click puts it back.

Other things it does

• Leftover hunt: finds traces of apps you already uninstalled some other way

• Right-click uninstall: right-click any .exe or shortcut in Explorer

• Batch uninstall: silent when the installer supports it (MSI, NSIS, Inno Setup)

• Force uninstall: for apps whose uninstaller is broken or missing

• Cleans up the dead Windows packages some apps leave behind for their Windows 11 right-click menu

• Microsoft Store apps are listed too

• Built with Rust and Tauri, not Electron. The installer is about 2.6 MB

Free vs Pro

One Pro license works on Windows or Mac, on one computer at a time, and you can move it.

Giveaway: 10 Pro licenses

‼️Thank you all so much for your interest. I’ve issued dozens of Pro licenses, but unfortunately, our quota is now full :(

Comment with an app that was a pain to get rid of (or something you wish an uninstaller did) and I'll DM a key to the first 10. No need to upvote or do anything else.

If it flags something that doesn't belong to the app, or misses something obvious, please tell me. That's exactly the kind of bug I want to fix.

Hi everyone,

I wanted a torrent client that looks and feels like a native Windows 11 app: Fluent design, a clean layout and sensible defaults, with the advanced options still there when you need them. So I built one.

Wintor is a BitTorrent client written with WinUI 3 and the Windows App SDK (.NET 10), using the open-source MonoTorrent engine under the hood.

What it does

• Magnet links and .torrent files: from the app, a double-click in Explorer, or a click in your browser

• Pick the folder and the files before the download starts

• A clean torrent table: progress colored by state, sortable columns that shrink with the window

• A details pane with the piece map, files and priorities, peers, trackers and a live speed graph

• Labels, status filters, search from the title bar

• Speed limits for everything or per torrent

• Keeps seeding from the tray, and tells you when a download finishes

• Plain-language messages when something goes wrong (missing files, full disk, no network)

• Light, dark and high-contrast themes, Mica or Acrylic, 12 languages

What it doesn’t do

• No ads, no telemetry, no bundled offers, no “premium” tier. It’s GPL-3.0, so that’s not going to change.

• No built-in torrent search or content catalog. It’s a client, nothing more.

Get it

• Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9P7P2DH9P4XN

• Source code: https://github.com/tarasenko-by/wintor

This is an early version (0.2), so there will be rough edges. I’d really appreciate:

• bug reports and UI feedback (design is the whole point of the project)

• pull requests, forks and ideas. Everything’s open.

Thanks for taking a look!

Introducing Heimdall, a glassy launcher for Windows. And yes, it's faster than Everything.

Press F5 and type. It finds apps, every file, open windows, calculates sums and web searches.

Native Rust, under 2 MB, ZERO telemetry. Free and open source.

EDIT: Thank you for the great reception! I just published the 1.0.1 release with some more QoL and fixes for a few annoying quirks. It's also faster than before, and now beats Everything on every search metric. It's also come to my attention that the link doesn't show up for some reason, so you can get it here:

Hi r/windowsapps, I'm the developer of PerchShelf, a small utility for Windows 10 and 11.

The problem: dragging a file to a window that is hidden, on another monitor, or not open yet means holding the mouse button while you juggle windows. On the Mac, Yoink and Dropover solve this with a "shelf". PerchShelf does the same on Windows:

- Shake the mouse while dragging (or move to a screen edge) and a shelf appears next to the cursor

- Drop files there, let go, open the target at your own pace, drag them out (one or all at once)

- Files are held by reference, nothing is copied; plain drag moves, Ctrl+drag copies

- Also catches links, images and text dragged from Chrome or Edge

- Several shelves as tabs, a hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+F), stays out of fullscreen games

- Offline, no telemetry, UI in English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese

It is on the Microsoft Store with a 30-day trial, then a one-time purchase:

https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9N86NC2DKFH5?cid=reddit

Feedback is very welcome, especially on what would make it fit your workflow. The first buyer reported a bug and it was fixed in the next update, so reports really do get acted on.

I’ve made an app that replaces windows search from the start menu with my app that uses everything by voidtools.

Pulsar started as a small side project after I noticed how much RAM similar system monitoring tools were using just to display a few stats. I figured there had to be a way to do the same thing with a much smaller footprint.

It's written in Rust + Slint and currently uses around 10-15 MB of RAM with basically no CPU usage. It puts live CPU, GPU, memory, disk, network, ping, FPS, and temperature stats directly on the Windows 11 taskbar.

What started as a simple taskbar monitor has grown quite a bit. There's now a hardware information and monitoring window with CPU-Z/LibreHardwareMonitor like functionality, including optional low-level sensor readings through PawnIO.

I've tried to keep things lightweight and optional wherever possible. No telemetry, analytics, and no admin rights required for the main app.

It's free and open source, and I'm actively working on it. I'd love to hear what you think, especially if you run into issues with different hardware configurations or have ideas for features worth adding.

Thanks for checking it out!

For the past 3 years, I've been building and maintaining FlyPhotos, a small open-source side project: a fast, lightweight photo viewer for Windows.

It started as a personal replacement for the old Picasa Photo Viewer. I wanted that same instant response and transparent background, but built using modern native Windows technologies.

Performance has always been the top priority. Once the first image loads, you can hold down the arrow keys and fly through thousands of photos without loading spinners interrupting the experience. Zooming and panning are animated at very high frame rates, with a lot of work put into making them feel buttery smooth, limited primarily by your GPU and monitor.

FlyPhotos also supports smooth playback of animated formats, including GIF, APNG, animated AVIF, and animated WebP.

A few things to know:

• It's strictly a photo viewer, with no built-in photo management or editing features. You can, however, configure an external editor and launch it using a shortcut.

• The installer isn't code-signed yet, so some browsers may flag it with a security warning.

Tech stack: WinUI 3 for the modern native Windows UI, and DirectX through Win2D for image rendering. HDR image and monitor support and color profiles planned, not yet implemented.

Check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/riyasy/FlyPhotos

Notchify brings a Mac style Dynamic Island to Windows. It sits as a compact pill near the top of your screen and expands into a full panel when you hover over it, then returns to its resting state when you move away. It stays unobtrusive until you need it, and every transition is animated rather than snapping in and out.

Media control. Album art, playback controls, and an interactive seek bar directly in the island. It works with Spotify, browsers, and most applications that report media to Windows.

Notifications and alerts. App notifications, incoming call prompts, and Bluetooth connection alerts, handled through a priority system so the most relevant one is always shown first.

Widgets. Battery, clock, timers and alarms, weather, and calendar. Smaller status widgets sit alongside larger ones that you can arrange in a grid or a scrollable carousel.

Privacy indicators. Discreet indicators that appear whenever your camera or microphone is actively in use.

Customization. Several built in themes, a custom theme editor for setting each color individually, and an adjustable island size to suit your display.

Notchify is built in native WPF and ships fully self contained, so there is no runtime to install. It is designed to stay light on resources, idling comfortably under 100 MB even after extended use, with no ads, subscriptions, or telemetry.

It is a one time purchase on the Microsoft Store, developed and actively maintained by an independent developer. Feedback and feature suggestions are genuinely welcome.

Microsoft Store: Notchify

Start menu, Settings, System, Storage, Change where new content is saved

Move everything to whatever drive has a lot of storage free. In my case, C was full and windows is too stupid to reroute files to somewhere that has room, even when the installation told it to go to the storage drive with enough space. GG, fuck you windows.

I've been working on MeshLive, an open-source app for voice/video calls and live broadcasting over Bluetooth.

It started on Android, but I've now released an experimental Windows version too.

The video shows a Windows PC making a video call with an Android phone. Wi-Fi and internet are completely out of the picture.

No accounts, servers or existing local network needed. Just two devices running MeshLive and Bluetooth.

Getting real-time video over Bluetooth has been tricky enough on phones, and supporting Windows introduced another set of Bluetooth compatibility and connection issues.

It's still beta software, so performance varies between devices. The Windows build is currently distributed as an unsigned ZIP, not through the Microsoft Store.

Free, no ads, open source (GPL-3.0-or-later).

Would be interested in feedback from anyone who tries it on their Windows setup!

Mixora gives your games, music, browsers and voice chat their own audio groups, so you can manage your mix without adjusting every app separately.

What can Mixora do?

• Control apps together: Put multiple apps in a group and adjust them with one volume slider.

• Sort known apps automatically: Recognized apps go into their groups. Drag them between groups to customize your setup.

• Make room for voice chat: Automatically lower selected groups while chat plays, then smoothly restore their volume.

• Keep controls in the tray: Open the compact mixer and expand a group to adjust individual apps.

• Use global shortcuts: Change group volume or mute a group, with feedback on your desktop.

• Save different setups: Switch between profiles for gaming, streaming or everyday use.

How lightweight is it?

After nearly 27 hours of continuous use, Mixora was using approximately this much memory in the background

• 64 MB resident RAM

• 118 MB private committed memory

• 0.1% average CPU usage

Mixora is a native Windows app that works directly with Windows audio sessions. No virtual audio devices or extra routing required.

Mixora is Available on Microsoft Store

Have Been working on making my own configurable desktop+taskbar system

The idea is the app that's running behind provides a toolkit, and everything on top can be configured with HTML and JS so it is as cheap and easy as possible to modify

The video above is mostly done to showcase the taskbars, but the 3 widgets you see on the screen are also done in the app. A lot more are made with a bunch of other functionalities and people can share their own as well. You can check the current library here https://www.desktop-dashboard.com/marketplace

I think Windows was always a bit behind with the looks and functionality of the desktop, so maybe this will make it a bit nicer too look at

Hey all,

A few months ago I started building Layer, a small app that puts widgets right on your Windows desktop: notes, clocks, weather, calendar, system stats, a music player and more. It sits behind your windows like part of the wallpaper, so it's there when you glance at your desktop and out of the way while you work. Press Ctrl+Shift+Space to arrange things, press it again and it goes back to being click-through.

It just passed 2,000 downloads on the Microsoft Store, which I honestly didn't expect. So, two bits of news:

1. Layer is now open source (MIT)

It runs on your desktop all day and touches things like audio and system settings, so I think you should be able to read exactly what it does. The whole app is on GitHub now. It's built with Tauri (Rust + React), so it stays light compared to an Electron app. Issues, ideas and pull requests are all welcome.

2. v1.11 is out, with five new widgets

- Volume Mixer: a live slider and mute button for every app playing sound. The mixer Windows hides in Settings, always on your desktop.

- Quick Toggles: dark mode, hide desktop icons, Night light, empty the Recycle Bin, lock your PC.

- App Updates: see which of your apps have updates (via winget) and install them one at a time or all at once.

- Keep Awake: stops your PC from sleeping, until you turn it off or on a timer.

- Camera: a quick webcam mirror for before calls.

Also new: live network speed in the Stats widget, and a top bar that scrolls instead of running off smaller screens. And a fix for widgets jumping to your first monitor whenever File Explorer refreshed. Someone who runs Layer on their second monitor reported that one, so thank you, your bug report made it into this release.

- Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NL577X16L1N

- Source code: https://github.com/Haris357/Layer

- Website: https://layer-desktop.web.app

It's free and doesn't need an account. Happy to answer anything, and I'd love to hear which widget you'd want next.

Hi! I made an OSS music app for Windows. It's completely free with no ads. I'd like to share it in case anyone would find use for it. Thanks!

Would appreciate a star, download, or review :)

I got tired of all my folders looking like the same plain yellow icon in Windows, so I built a small tool called FolderFeather to make organizing files visual and fast.

The best part: it doesn't run in the background. Once you apply a color, Windows saves it permanently using standard folder settings (desktop.ini). Your folders keep their new look even after a reboot, when moved, or if the app is closed.

What you can do with it:

Pick Any Color: Choose from 14 ready-to-go colors or pick any custom shade using a color wheel and HEX box.

Make 2-Color Gradients: Blend two colors together horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. It even gives a friendly warning if the colors are too similar so it doesn't look washed out.

Add Icons & Badges: Put symbols onto your folder (like stars, locks, bookmarks, or projects).

Move the badge to the center or any of the 4 corners.

Pick a style: subtle dark etch (Tonal), a frosted see-through look (Glass), or custom colors.

Add depth with soft drop shadows or raised edges.

Drop your own .png images into the folder to use your own icons instantly.

Stays Sharp Everywhere: Explorer views change size. FolderFeather makes sure the folders look detailed in big tile views, but crisp and readable in small list views.

One-Click Reset: Changed your mind? Hit Reset Folder Icon anytime to put it back to normal Windows yellow.

Remembers Your Favorites: Keeps your 6 most recent designs at the bottom so you can reuse them on other folders with a single click.

It’s built to match the clean Windows 11 style—simple cards, live previews as you tweak, and no cluttered menus.

Would love to hear what you think or what badge icons you'd find most useful!

Hi! I posted an earlier version here a month ago, and a lot of cool feedback made it in.

Tack is a small pinboard that lives just above the top edge of your screen. Take a screenshot like you always do (Win + Shift + S) and it’s pinned. Nudge the top edge and it’s back. Click to copy, double click to open, or just drag it straight into a chat or any app.

New since last time:

• Native Windows 11 app now (C# + WinUI 3, no browser inside), so it’s fast and very lightweight

• Pin any file or folder, not just screenshots

• Get your board on your phone

• Reveal speed you can set (thanks u/dwky11!)

• Colours to match your theme (thanks u/-Rhu-!)

Free and open source: https://github.com/prajjwalyd/tack

Feedback is welcome as always!

Windows has no good place to put a file "just for now". Mine ended up on the desktop or lost in Downloads, so I built Wedge.

How it works:

- Start dragging any file (from File Explorer, the desktop or a browser) and colored shelf tabs slide out of the right edge of the screen. Drop it on one and keep working.

- Click a tab and that shelf opens as a drawer. Drag the file straight into any app: an email, a chat, an upload form.

- Your files stay where they are on disk. Wedge only remembers them.

A few other things it does:

- Real previews, and search inside PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files

- A Pocket: collect files from different folders, then drag them all out at once

- Right-click > Add to Wedge in File Explorer, Ctrl+V, or send from your phone by scanning a QR code

- Shared shelves backed by a Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox folder

- Temporary shelves that clear themselves, plus notes, tags and reminders

- Ctrl+Shift+Space opens a drawer from anywhere, and the tabs step aside for full-screen games and videos

It's small and private: a 5 MB installer (Tauri + Rust, using the WebView2 that comes with Windows), no CPU use while it waits at the edge, no account, no telemetry. MIT licensed, for Windows 10 and 11.

Heads-up: it isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn you the first time (More info > Run anyway). The source and the builds are on GitHub.

Website: https://wedge.regncreative.com

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

It used to be called Stash; 2.0 is a rebuild under the new name. I'd love feedback, especially on what would make you keep something like this on your screen edge.

WidBar is an app I've been working on that adds widgets to the Windows 11 taskbar. Weather, stocks, music and more stay in view all the time, and clicking one opens all the details.

The widgets:

- Weather with forecasts and your saved cities

- Stock Watcher with a watchlist and charts

- Calendar with your upcoming events

- Media with playback controls, a visualizer and lyrics

- System Metrics for CPU, memory, GPU, disk and network

- Pomodoro Focus with a timer and focus stats

- News by topic and region

- Shelf to park files by dropping them on the taskbar

- MultiTool with virtual desktops and other quick controls

The new update adds the widget board, a full screen view of your widgets that opens from a taskbar button or a keyboard shortcut you can change.

- Tiles for weather, stocks, calendar, media, Pomodoro and system stats

- Add, move and resize tiles in Customize

- Change a tile's settings right on the tile

- Tiles share their data with the taskbar widgets, so one timer, one watchlist, one list of cities

- Point at a CPU or memory graph to read any moment

The board is still in preview. WidBar and all the widgets are free on the Microsoft Store:

https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9PKLDNM83TP9

If you want to make your own widget, there's an SDK and a template repo:

Issues and downloads are on the main repo:
