i always had yt music open in a browser tab and got annoyed enough to make a proper app for it. it uses the webview2 that's already on windows 10/11 instead of shipping a whole browser, so the installer is small and it doesn't eat ram like a chrome tab does

stuff it does: synced lyrics with karaoke fill from 11 sources, 15 band eq, crossfade, offline downloads, media keys, last.fm and discord, and you can use your phone as a remote over wifi. there's an installer and a portable exe, 64 and 32 bit. also on scoop

free and open source (MIT), no account needed, not affiliated with google/youtube

builds aren't signed so smartscreen will complain, more info > run anyway. would love to hear if something breaks

Hey everyone! I’m developing Download Engine, an IDM-inspired download manager built in Rust.

It includes:

• File, video and torrent downloads with pause/resume and recovery.

• Chrome, Edge, Brave and Firefox integration.

• Queues, scheduling, proxies and VPN/interface binding for torrents.

• Website grabbing, Lua extensions and automation.

• Optional antivirus scanning and SHA-256 verification.

It’s free, MIT-licensed and actively developed. Windows installer and portable builds are available, alongside macOS and Linux packages. Windows builds are currently unsigned.

📦 GitHub and downloads
🌐 Website and screenshots

Feedback is welcome! Please report bugs through GitHub Issues so I can track and fix them.

So this started as a dumb joke while playing Minecraft with some close friends. I threw together a little lyrics overlay, sent it to a few people, and somehow it got 100 downloads in like a day. People actually liked it so I kept going and turned it into a real app called Cadence.

It floats synced lyrics over your screen for whatever you're playing. Works with Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, Tidal and Pear, no Premium or API keys needed since it just reads what your computer is already playing. You can also listen along with friends (even cross-platform, like Spotify on one end and YouTube Music on the other, Mac or Windows) and there's a karaoke mode too.

It's at 1,500 users now which is kinda wild to me. I'm updating it a lot right now, so any feedback or feature ideas would be amazing, and if you hit bugs pls lmk.

It's free, just a fun project lol: https://samahith.me/cadence

Hi! I’m developing Rocket, a desktop app for managing Git repositories visually. It includes a commit graph, visual diffs, file staging, repository maps and a built-in terminal.

It’s available as a Windows installer or portable ZIP, with Git bundled.

I’d love feedback on the interface and everyday Git workflows especially anything that feels confusing or takes too many clicks.

Hello everyone, its my first time to post on reddit.
I quite enjoyed playing Gwent in the witcher 3, but i always wanted to challenge my friend. So I vibe coded an app with the help of Claude to have a **perfect** Gwent app with everything needed and a multiplayer.

As it worked as expected I uploaded it on Github (/bulssh/gwent-classic-windows) to share it with the community.

Feel free to test it ! I implemented cool features such as match history, multiples difficulties, full trackpad support and much more !!

Cheers

Hey everyone! I’m the developer of Superclip. I built it because little detours kept interrupting my work: finding the YouTube tab to skip a track, then hunting for something I’d copied earlier.

The panel sits at the edge of the screen and brings music controls, recently played tracks, a small video player and clipboard history together. I’ve attached two screenshots showing the music and video views.

I’d love a Windows user’s perspective: would this fit into your setup, and what would make the panel more useful or less distracting? Honest criticism is welcome.

If you’re curious, it’s at https://getsuperclip.com. And if you listen while you work, what’s on your playlist lately?

I’m Apurv, the person behind Superclip - you can also find me on X: https://x.com/Apurv35904761

¡Hola a todos! Quería usar AirPlay en Windows sin pagar una app de código cerrado ni lidiar con anuncios, así que construí RustPlay.

Qué hace

📱➡️💻 Recibir: refleja la pantalla de tu iPhone, iPad o Mac en tu PC, reproduce su audio a través de los parlantes de tu PC y ve videos de apps como YouTube en un reproductor integrado. No hay nada que instalar en el teléfono.

💻➡️📺 Enviar: refleja la pantalla de tu PC (o una sola ventana) a un Apple TV o a cualquier TV compatible con AirPlay, con sonido.

Funciones

• Gratis, código abierto (GPL-3.0), sin anuncios, sin telemetría, sin cuenta

• Aceleración por GPU, baja latencia

• Barra flotante y atajos de teclado: pantalla completa, grabar, capturar pantalla, silenciar, modo cine, ventana sin bordes

• Grabación de video y capturas de pantalla

• Varios dispositivos a la vez, código opcional de 4 dígitos para conectar

• Favoritos, historial de conexión y cambio de nombre de dispositivos

• Comprobación del sistema integrada que revisa tu perfil de red, firewall, tarjeta gráfica y audio y te dice qué arreglar

• Tema claro/oscuro, inglés y español, icono en la bandeja, iniciar con Windows

• Disponible instalador, MSIX y zip portátil

Requisitos: Windows 10 (2004) o Windows 11, 64 bits. Tu PC y los dispositivos de Apple tienen que estar en la misma red. Déjalo en redes privadas cuando el firewall pregunte.

Descarga: https://github.com/alvarilloo/rustplay/releases/latest Código fuente: https://github.com/alvarilloo/rustplay

Nota: el instalador no está firmado con código, así que SmartScreen podría advertirte la primera vez ("Más información" → "Ejecutar de todos modos"). El proyecto es nuevo y me encantaría recibir feedback, reportes de bugs y sugerencias, sobre todo de gente con iPhones, TVs y configuraciones de red diferentes. ¡Gracias por leer!

RustPlay no está afiliado con Apple; AirPlay, iPhone y Apple TV son marcas registradas de Apple Inc.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on Toolyn, a Windows app that puts 72 everyday tools in one place: a PDF editor, video editor, screen recorder, converters and lots of small utilities. Everything runs offline on your PC, and nothing gets uploaded.

Just pushed a fairly big update, so here's what's new:

• Screen Time – shows how long you spend in each app per day/week, and you can set daily limits. It's off by default, doesn't record window titles or anything you type, and the data stays on your PC.

• Clipboard History – everything you copy is searchable, and Ctrl+Alt+V pastes old stuff into any app. Honestly the feature I use most myself.

• Compare PDFs – drop in two versions of a document and it highlights what changed, word by word.

• Scan Document got a lot better – take a photo of a page and you get a clean, straight PDF out of it. Works for ID cards too.

• Video Editor – text and pictures can now move and animate over time.

Plus a pile of smaller fixes.

There's a 7-day free trial, no account needed: https://toolyn.app

I'm also giving away 3 licenses. Just comment what you wish Toolyn had (a tool, a feature, anything), and I'll pick 3 people at random on Tuesday and DM you a key.

Would really love feedback, especially what's missing or annoying. Thanks for taking a look!

I’m the developer of Lofi Cozy Room. It’s a small room with an avatar and a dog that can sit beside whatever you’re doing on Windows. The video shows the activity picker. You can choose work, reading, rest or sleep for the avatar, or switch to Autonomous and let them pick for themselves.

The base game is available on Steam with a free demo. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4621450/Lofi_Cozy_Room/

The DLC’s Kickstarter pre-launch page is live. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/693302041/lofi-cozy-room-work-cook-and-explore

Hey everyone!

I've been working on ByteSweep, a desktop utility for analyzing and cleaning up storage on Windows.

One thing I've always found frustrating is how quickly disk space disappears. Applications, temporary files, caches and forgotten data accumulate, and Windows doesn't always make it easy to understand where everything is going.

I wanted to build something that makes this process easier.

ByteSweep helps you:

• Analyze what's consuming disk space.

• Find unnecessary files and application leftovers.

• Identify items that may be safe to clean.

• Review files before deciding what to remove.

• Keep track of storage usage.

I built it with the idea that cleaning up a PC shouldn't involve blindly deleting files and hoping nothing breaks.

Website: https://bytesweep.app/windows.html

Windows-CLI: https://bytesweep.app/cli.html

Full disclosure: I'm the developer behind ByteSweep.

I'd be interested in hearing what you currently use for Windows storage analysis and cleanup, and what you think existing tools are missing.

Happy to answer technical questions about the application.

Hi everyone, I’m the developer of Moolupa, a goal tracker available on the Microsoft Store.

A simple example of how it works: you plan a 20-minute walk but only manage 5 minutes. You can record those 5 minutes, and they stay in your progress history. There’s no streak counter that resets when you miss a day.

You can also make today’s step smaller, reschedule it, or take a rest day. Moo, the cow companion, gives the app a quieter, warmer feel.

The free plan supports five active goals, with optional paid Plus features. There’s also a browser version for desktop and phone.

I’m currently polishing the desktop experience. If you try it on Windows, what feels awkward to navigate or takes more clicks than it should?

I’ve been working on a customizable dock for Windows and would love some feedback on the design.

It combines app shortcuts with built-in panels for music and quick controls. It can sit at the top or bottom of the screen and stay visible or auto-hide.

It’s still a work in progress and isn’t available to download yet. Does this feel useful on Windows? What would you change?

We have released HyperTree, a lightweight disk space analyzer for Windows that displays files, folders, and their space usage through a visual map. It supports 12 languages, including Arabic, English, Chinese, Spanish, French, and German. We look forward to hearing your feedback. https://github.com/ddccdcdc/HyperTree

I love proper desktop apps and good email clients. On Apple devices, Apple Mail/Calendar or the official apps work great with Google. On Windows, I love the look of Outlook (even the new one), but its Google integration is awful, and while Thunderbird is reliable, the UI feels way too dated.

So I built lightweight native desktop wrappers for Gmail and Google Calendar using Tauri 2.

Features:

• Native push notifications

• Launch at startup

• Can be set as your default Windows email client

• Completely separate from your main browser profile (uses Edge WebView2 under the hood)

• Zero tracking, zero logging—just a clean wrapper around the two services

Note: Only tested on and built for Windows 11. I originally made these just to have a cozy setup for myself, so things are kept simple, though I'm totally open to feedback and feature ideas!

Ciao a tutti! Sono lo sviluppatore di NotchIsland, un'app gratuita e open-source per Windows 10/11.

Aggiunge una piccola icona a forma di pillola, simile a Dynamic Island, nella parte superiore dello schermo. Passandoci sopra con il mouse, si accede ai controlli musicali, ai widget e all'assistente vocale. C'è anche una piccola faccina animata che segue il cursore e reagisce a ciò che accade.

Alcune delle sue funzionalità:

Controllo di musica, volume e riproduzione.

Riconoscimento dei comandi vocali in locale tramite whisper.cpp.

Gestione di timer, note, promemoria e altre attività quotidiane.

Visualizzazione di 15 widget personalizzabili, inclusi meteo e statistiche di sistema.

Monitoraggio delle sessioni di Claude Code e visualizzazione dello stato di esecuzione, di attesa di input o di completamento.

Integrazione con Chrome e VS Code tramite estensioni complementari.

L'app è sviluppata con Electron e JavaScript, con helper PowerShell per i controlli di Windows. Le funzionalità di base non richiedono un account NotchIsland. Le funzionalità di Claude Code richiedono l'installazione e l'accesso al proprio account.

Il riconoscimento vocale viene eseguito localmente; le informazioni su meteo, testi delle canzoni, grafica e funzionalità di Claude utilizzano i rispettivi servizi online.

È ancora un progetto indipendente in fase di sviluppo attivo e il programma di installazione per Windows non è attualmente firmato. Il codice sorgente è disponibile se preferite esaminarlo o compilarlo autonomamente.

**Demo e sito web:** [ https://notch-island.pages.dev/ ](https://notch-island.pages.dev/)

**Codice sorgente:** [ https://github.com/diegobruvhrpiugvjrigjtibjte/notch-island ](https://github.com/diegobruvhrpiugvjrigjtibjte/notch-island)

Apprezzerei un feedback sull'interazione: l'isola risulta utile durante il lavoro quotidiano o è d'intralcio? Anche segnalazioni di bug e feedback sulle prestazioni su diversi PC sarebbero utili.

Needed one for work and got claude to do it. Current FOSS one that is popular is Espanso but they have no GUI -_-

NEW LINK: https://github.com/znbaboy/WinExpander

Please test this out everyone who tried loved it, if you find a bug please report

It's completely 100% free completely local on your pc,

A new life for your old phone or Tablet.

Hot to use the :

++ Install the windows or Mac app from GitHub.

++ Install the apk on your phone

++ Enable the modules you want to see. Or create your own module.

++ The camera module the voice is still in beta I'll fix it soon.

QuickLook Next is an open source Windows file previewer for people who spend a lot of time in Explorer.

Select a file and press Space to preview it without opening a full application. Use the arrow keys to follow neighboring files. It handles images, PDFs, Markdown, source code, archives, media, Office documents, folders, and SQLite data.

The current 1.0.4 release includes a fix for HDR FP16 image previews that could show duplicated rows or magenta/white blocks in PQ HDR content.

Download the signed release: https://github.com/SherlockChiang/QuickLook.Next/releases/tag/v1.0.4

Source code and docs: https://github.com/SherlockChiang/QuickLook.Next

Microsoft Store product page: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9PM0XKBFJC6R

The Store listing is the signed distribution channel for QuickLook Next. The GitHub release remains available for source, release notes, and direct download.

I'm the developer and would appreciate feedback about the Explorer workflow, supported formats, and display behavior.

I use the Claude and ChatGPT desktop apps all day, mostly by talking to them. Their built-in dictation is good, but on Windows you have to find and click a tiny mic icon every time. So I made a small always-on-top keypad:

• MIC – presses the app's own dictation button (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini), not Win+H, and turns red when it's really listening

• Send – stops the mic, waits for the text, sends it

• App / folder keys – jump to Claude, ChatGPT, Chrome, Edge, Documents… and switch to the window that's already open instead of opening a new one

• Insert turns your number pad into the same keys, so you can use it without touching the mouse

• Ctrl+Alt+P brings the pad back if it ever gets hidden

Details for Windows folks:

• Windows 10/11, no admin rights, no extra runtimes – it's a PowerShell + WinForms app, a few hundred KB

• Runs locally, no network calls, no telemetry

• Install = unzip → Install.cmd (uninstaller included)

• Keys, icons, colours and hotkeys are set in a point-and-click Settings window

Free and MIT-licensed. I'm not a developer by trade – I built it with Claude's help, so feedback and bug reports are very welcome (especially if it can't find the mic button in your app's language).

It will be public on the Store soon guys .

We've spent the last few months building Mr. Shim, an all-in-one Windows utility in Rust. Not released yet, but getting close.

DropTrace runs in the background on a Windows PC and writes down every internet outage with the time, how long it lasted, and whether the problem was likely your PC, your router, or your provider. It builds a report you can send to your provider when you’re trying to get them to fix it or give you a credit. It’s free on the Microsoft Store, and I made it. It’s also open source if you want to look at the code. The screenshot uses sample data, since my own connection has been pretty steady lately. Let me know if it gets a cause wrong or if there’s something you wish it tracked.

Garnet PDF changes the words and pictures in a PDF, puts pages in order, signs and blacks out private details. No account, no adverts, no paid tier, nothing uploaded. It is in the Microsoft Store, with a plain installer on the site, and it is open source. https://garnetpdf.com

We made it, and we would like to know what you would want next.
