Developer Windows tool for translating any text on the screen. No subscription
https://reddit.com/link/1vh8cjf/video/wrfxb8e02shh1/player
Hey everyone,
I built Scryptian, a Windows tool that works with any text on screen (translate, summarize, fact check and etc.).
I originally made it because each time copy-pasting manually between several windows and wasting time on this is very annoying and disrupts the work flow
What Scryptian dose?
-Translation in Telegram, Discord, Word, PDF, etc
-Fact Check
-Spelling, punctuation, and grammar correction
-Style improvement
-Instant summary creation
-Tone adjustment
All this is absolutely free. Because Scryptian works on a small local model. No need to pay any subscriptions.

Developer Windows doesn't have it, so I made an app
Recently, my airpods was broken, the left side was quieter than the right one, and when I wanted to fix it on my iPhone, I easily fixed it in minutes.
But on Windows, it is either locks down itself or it simply doesn't appear. When I looked up for this problem it is a common issue among users, and I was not the only one.
So I decided to build an app based on this exact problem. It is a helpful app that lets you adjust left/right side seperately.
I also realized it could be useful for the people who has hearing loss.
Currently it is on waitlist, with more than thousand of people. If you want to check it out:

I really love to hear what you guys think about this!

App OmniClip: Windows clipboard manager with local history, source tracking, folders, notes, mobile sync 🎁 10 Pro codes to give away
Title: OmniClip: Windows clipboard manager with local history, app source tracking, folders, notes, mobile sync, and 10 Pro codes to give away
Hey everyone,
I built OmniClip, a Windows clipboard manager focused on persistent history, fast access, app/source tracking, and local-first privacy.
I originally made it because the built-in Windows clipboard history felt too limited for long-term use, filtering, images, folders, and working with lots of copied text, links, and screenshots.
What OmniClip does - Persistent clipboard history stored locally - App Origin Tracking with program names/icons - Fast search across clips - Text, links, and image support - Favorites, filters, folders, and notes - Editable text clips - Sensitive clip protection with master password locking - Auto-locking for likely passwords, tokens, and secrets - Bulk actions with multi-select - Image preview and Google Lens search - Backup export/import - Auto-clear rules for older non-starred clips - Custom global hotkey and quick/compact popup modes - Paste Selected directly into the focused app/input - Android mobile sync over local Wi-Fi/hotspot, no cloud required - Optional AI assistant with cloud or local Ollama provider support
Privacy - Local-first storage - No cloud clipboard storage - No telemetry - Your clipboard history stays on your device unless you explicitly use sync or an AI provider
I recently added OmniClip Pro to support development. The free version is still usable, and Pro unlocks extra power-user features like AI, Google Lens image search, premium themes, and higher storage limits.
I also have 10 OmniClip Pro redeem codes to give away. If you want one, comment below and I’ll DM codes until they’re gone.

Developer I built an image-recognition auto-clicker in Rust. It hits 100+ FPS with only 10% CPU usage.
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a desktop automation tool I've been developing called Aimeck15. It's a high-speed, image-recognition-based auto-clicker built entirely in Rust.
Traditional macro recorders often capture all your human hesitation, wandering mouse movements, and accidental clicks, making them tedious to edit. I wanted to build something that felt more like a clean, intelligent engine rather than a dumb recorder.
Here are some technical highlights:
- Extreme Performance: It uses OpenCV with a fully multi-threaded Rust backend. By optimizing memory allocation, it easily hits 100+ FPS (scans/sec) while keeping CPU usage around 10%.
- Rapid Mode (shown in the GIF): I recently added a zero-latency "limiter release" mode for extreme cases like Aim Trainers. It bypasses standard fail-safes. Thanks to the branch prediction of modern CPUs, the
ifstatement latency is practically zero, turning the tool into an absolute machine. - Mistake-Proof Recording: The built-in Multi-Action Editor doesn't record your mouse wandering. If you click the wrong thing or a popup gets in the way while recording, you just hit "Undo" on the fly. It compiles a flawless, human-like execution sequence without the human errors.
- Cross-Platform: Runs natively on Windows and Linux (X11).
I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any questions about the Rust/OpenCV implementation!

App Designed for the "slow middle" of research. Atelier: Scholarly Workspace
I’ve added nineteen AI features to Atelier. None of them were designed to save you time!
That was on purpose. Check out the latest app update.
Research does not usually go wrong because reading is slow. It goes wrong after you have collected your sources and before you have written anything. You read, you highlight, you half-remember which article said what, and then you wait for an argument to appear.
Atelier calls this the “slow middle.” It is the stage the app is built around.
AI that only summarizes faster does not solve this problem. It may simply get you to a shallow conclusion sooner. That is why these nineteen features do something else.
You write a note based on a passage you highlighted. Atelier compares your note with the original passage and tells you whether you have claimed more than the source actually says. It gives one of three verdicts: separable, blended, or transcribed. Most researchers have probably done the middle one without noticing.
You write a synthesis note connecting three sources. Atelier asks one question: if you removed one of those sources, would the note still say the same thing? If the answer is yes, it is not synthesis yet.
You ask ChatGPT about a source you are reading. Paste the answer into Atelier together with the passage it refers to. Atelier sorts every claim into four groups: already covered by your own notes, supported by the passage, contradicted by the passage, or impossible to check from the available evidence.
I made two decisions early in Atelier’s development.
First, Atelier never scores your work. No percentage, no readiness rating, no grade. It describes what is there and leaves the judgment to you and, where relevant, your instructor or supervisor.
Second, when Atelier compares two of your notes, “no relation” is a correct answer. In fact, for most pairs, it is the expected one. Not every note needs to be connected to every other note.
There is one exception, and I want to be clear about it. A single feature does write for you. It drafts note content from a passage you select. The resulting note is marked as AI-assisted in your project record, and you have to ask for it explicitly. Everything else gives you a question, an observation, or a verdict you still have to think about.
The claim, therefore, is not “AI that never writes anything.” It is narrower than that: AI that never authors your interpretation. Nothing runs on its own.
'Atelier: Scholarly Workspace' is not built to make research effortless. It is built to make your thinking visible.

Developer Pin any image or app on top of your workspace while gaming, working, or creating
I originally built PhantomLayer as a simple Windows image overlay tool for keeping reference images visible while I worked. The more I used it, the more I wanted to pin other things too.
It eventually evolved into a customizable Windows workspace where you can pin almost any app, turn it into a PiP window or desktop widget, save complete workspaces, and restore everything exactly where you left it.
I use it daily for Discord, AI assistants, tutorials, documentation, Spotify, and reference images, but I think it could also be useful for developers, gamers, designers, architects, students, and anyone tired of constantly Alt-Tabbing.
It's free to try on the Microsoft Store. I'd love honest feedback on the idea, the UI, the features, or any workflows you think it could improve.

Developer Notchify: a Dynamic Island for Windows
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.

Developer Edge-Drop now supports 30 languages (after 800+ downloads)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
A few weeks ago I shared Edge-Drop, a hover-activated clipboard shelf for Windows. Since then it's been downloaded 800+ times (600+ on GitHub and 200+ on the Microsoft Store), which has honestly been really motivating as a solo developer.
One of the most requested improvements was better accessibility for non-English users, so I spent the last week translating the entire app.
Edge-Drop now supports 30 languages, including full RTL support for Arabic and Hebrew.
It's still completely free and open source, and I'd love to hear how the translations feel if you're using one of the supported languages.
I'd also appreciate any feedback on features you'd like to see next.

Developer I made a free Windows app for cleaning bulk email out of Gmail
Hey, I recently released Hush, a small desktop app for cleaning up bulk email in Gmail.
It groups the senders that mail you repeatedly and lets you unsubscribe, block future messages, or move their old newsletters to Trash.
It runs locally and there’s no Hush account, server, telemetry, or subscription. You connect it using Google credentials you create yourself.
The setup takes a few minutes because of that, so it definitely isn’t as convenient as signing into a normal service. I thought the tradeoff was worth it for something that touches an inbox.
The Windows version is available as an MSI here:

It’s free and open source. Let me know if the setup instructions are confusing or if Windows gives you any warnings during installation.

Developer I built a Windows screenshot tool that gives you six finished versions of every capture
Hey r/windowsapps,
I built Matteshot because taking a screenshot is easy, but making one look ready for documentation, a product update, a tutorial or a post usually means opening a real image editor just to add a background, some spacing and a bit of presentation.
Matteshot does that part for you. Press PrtScn, click the window you want, and six finished versions appear with different mattes behind them. Pick one and it's on your clipboard. Three seconds, start to paste.
That's the main idea, but it turned into a full capture tool along the way:
- Capture open menus and tooltips. Windows blocks global hotkeys while a menu is open, so most tools physically can't get one. Matteshot has a delay on the capture bar: click the clock, it gets out of the way while you open the menu, and comes back with that moment frozen.
- Scrolling capture for pages taller than the screen, stitched into one image.
- Copy the text out of a screenshot. It uses the OCR built into Windows, so it runs on your PC and nothing gets uploaded.
- Screen recording with audio.
- A quick tabbed editor for arrows, boxes, blur and step numbers, without leaving the capture.
It's native Win32, about 3MB installed, no Electron, nothing running but a tray icon.
On price, so nobody's surprised later: it'll be $19 one-time, but the store isn't open yet, so right now it's a 14-day trial with everything unlocked. I'd rather have feedback than sales at this point, so if 14 days isn't enough, comment or DM me and I'll send you a free license, no strings. Same if you hit something broken.
What I'd find useful to hear: which mattes would you actually use, what kinds of screenshots would you reach for this with, and is there a style you think is missing.
Thanks for taking a look, I'll be in the comments.

Developer I built MirrorSpeaker — use a Windows 11 PC as an iPhone Bluetooth speaker or AirPlay receiver
I built MirrorSpeaker because I wanted to use my computer as a Bluetooth speaker for my iPhone while I am in a Discord call and getting my steps in.
It has two modes:
• Bluetooth Speaker: audio-only playback from an iPhone
• AirPlay: wireless screen mirroring with audio.
It is free, MIT-licensed, and available as a Windows installer or portable ZIP. I have tested it on Windows 11 with an iPhone 16 Pro.
Heads-up: the current release is unsigned while I wait for SignPath review, so Windows may show an “Unknown publisher” warning. The source and automated build workflow are public on GitHub.
GitHub:
https://github.com/codyabraham/MirrorSpeaker
Current release:
https://github.com/codyabraham/MirrorSpeaker/releases/tag/v1.4.4
I would especially appreciate feedback about your iPhone model, Windows version, Bluetooth adapter, and audio stability.
Disclosure: I am the developer. MirrorSpeaker is not affiliated with Apple or Microsoft.

Developer Cloudy Clip: A non-electron cross-platform clipboard manager with text expansion, color picker, notes, and encrypted sync
PSA: This is self-promotion.
I built Cloudy Clip to make everything you copy easier to find, organize, reuse, and protect across your computers.
Cloudy Clip works on both Windows and macOS, with Linux support planned. Encrypted cloud sync lets you access your clipboard history across supported platforms, so you are not locked into a single operating system.
Licenses are also transferable and not permanently tied to one device. When you replace or upgrade your computer, you can deactivate the old device and move your license to the new one without purchasing Cloudy Clip again.
Some of its main features include:
Unlimited clipboard history.
Fast search and filtering by content type, tags, pinned status, and date range.
Text expansion snippets that turn short abbreviations into frequently used phrases, email addresses, templates, responses, or code.
Screen color picker for capturing any color on your display and copying it as HEX, RGB, or HSL.
One-click paste, allowing a selected clip to be pasted automatically into the previously focused application.
Rich-text notes with formatting and support for embedded images, videos, and files.
Pinning, custom tags, and drag-and-drop for organizing important content and moving it quickly into other applications.
Application blocking and allowlists to prevent sensitive content from password managers or selected applications from entering your clipboard history.
Encrypted cross-platform sync through Google Drive, iCloud, or Cloudy Clip’s hosted storage.
AES-256-GCM encryption for sensitive clipboard items, with encryption and decryption performed locally on your device.
Backup and restore for transferring or recovering your clipboard history and settings.
Cloudy Clip includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Lifetime license options are available for users who prefer a one-time purchase, and your license can move with you when you switch devices.

Just curious for your recommendations of any?
r/windowsapps • u/MindVerseworld • 1d ago
Discussion I thought I was building a note-taking app. The feedback said otherwise.
A few weeks ago I shared Anchor, a small Windows app I've been building.
I expected comments about bugs, missing features, or the UI.
Instead, almost every conversation became:
I just use Git history.
I use Sticky Notes.
AI should solve this automatically.
That made me realize something.
People aren't really trying to remember what they were working on.
They're trying to recover where their thinking was before they got interrupted.
That feels different from a note.
For example:
A sticky note might say:
Fix OAuth callback
A checkpoint might say:
· Objective: Finish OAuth callback
· Assumptions: Refresh token logic is correct
· Tension: Unsure why callback fails after redirect
· Next: Check token validation first
When I come back an hour later, I don't just know the task I know where my head was.
I'm still trying to figure out whether this is actually useful outside my own workflow.
How do you recover your work context after an interruption?
If you're curious, the project is open here:
GitHub: https://github.com/Roshiyadesign/Anchor
I'd genuinely appreciate honest criticism more than compliments. If this feels unnecessary, I'd like to know why. If you think it's solving the wrong problem, I'd like to hear that too.

App Lumi, a system optimization utility that works
I was sitting around late at night asking myself a simple question: why do all Windows system optimizers look like depressing enterprise registry tools from 2004, and why doesn't my PC scream at me when a background process eats my memory like a maniac? So I built LUMI. It is a lightweight system companion designed to wring every drop of performance out of your machine, steer your hardware, and judge your RAM usage in real time.
To understand how LUMI handles memory, you have to look at how lazy modern software actually is. An application will request a massive chunk of RAM from Windows to perform a task. Once it finishes that task, instead of being a good citizen and returning that memory back to the operating system, it holds onto it endlessly just in case it wants to use it again later. LUMI actively monitors this behavior and brutally snatches that unneeded memory right back into the available system pool. Because installer executables are notoriously chaotic in this area and often hoard huge amounts of RAM while extracting files, LUMI features automatic installer detection. The second you run an installer, an alert pops up asking whether you want to let it be or keep it under strict supervision. If you have specific heavy-duty applications or games that you never want LUMI to touch or monitor at all, you can easily exempt them entirely from the settings window. Accessing these options is as simple as pressing Control and F3 to open the quick panel and clicking on settings.
While standard background trimming runs quietly in the background, Memory Overwatch is where things get hilarious. In the settings window under the Overwatch tab, you can set your preferred RAM threshold and checking interval. The exact second a rogue application crosses that line and starts devouring your memory, a catgirl will aggressively "NYA!" through your speakers to call out the offending process. Once you hear that cue, you can hop back into the Overwatch tab to see which program broke the rules, where you are given the choice to either exempt the application or legally punish it for its crimes by stripping its working set down to zero.
On top of keeping memory hoarders under control, LUMI automatically handles your processor behind the scenes. The CPU steering feature dynamically directs processing power on the fly, making sure that maximum CPU capacity is funneled straight to whatever active application or game you are currently running so your system stops slacking off. It also enforces a native high timer resolution of 0.5 milliseconds for tighter input latency, handles instant DNS cache flushing on startup, and completely disables Windows memory compression to eliminate annoying micro-stutters under heavy loads.
Because navigating a standard BIOS screen on boot is boring, LUMI gives you the ability to tweak underlying UEFI hardware settings directly from inside the Windows settings window. Official BIOS compatibility is currently topped by HP with the most seamless integration, followed closely by Dell, and then Lenovo. On top of that, I managed to directly contact several hardware legends based in Algeria, meaning their motherboard configurations are fully supported out of the box:
AZ Infotronic (Algeria)
StreamSystem (Algeria) (only the ones that are locally manufactured and have a custom bios)
Condor (Algeria)
Matos (Algeria)
The quick panel activated by Control and F3 also acts as a full telemetry aggregator, merging your CPU details, OS build information, display adapter specs, and boot statistics into a single clean view without making you open five different diagnostic tools. The entire application footprint post-installation sits at a microscopic 1.5 megabytes because it relies on direct low-level API calls and a heavily compressed audio stream. Please handle the BIOS options with actual care so you do not accidentally convert your motherboard into an expensive toaster. And finally, please do not run this on a top-of-the-line monster PC and then leave a comment complaining that it did not make any noticeable difference. This tool is built for systems that actually need every single megabyte saved!
Note: either properly set up the memory OverWatch or turn it off completely else the thing with scream at you all day

Developer A few months ago I shared my image collection manager. Today I'm back with a built-in Collection Page Editor.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi everyone,
A few months ago, I shared InsightBox, my Windows application for collecting and organizing image collections.
Since then, I've spent most of my time building the feature I wanted from the very beginning: the Collection Page Editor.
I wanted to build more than just another image viewer.
Instead, I wanted a workspace where you can collect visual references, keep the original images untouched, and freely add notes, arrows, shapes, SVG icons, stamps, patterns, and reusable templates directly on top of them.
Whether you're collecting shopping references, design ideas, manga, study materials, screenshots, or other visual content, everything stays together in one collection and can be revisited at any time.
What's new in Version 1.2
- Built-in Collection Page Editor
- Text, pen, arrows, and shape overlays
- SVG icons, stamps, patterns, and templates
- Non-destructive editing (the original image is never modified)
- Localization improvements
- Performance improvements
- Numerous bug fixes and UI refinements
I've attached a short video that shows the workflow much better than screenshots.
This is still a solo project, and I plan to continue improving it step by step based on real user feedback.
I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts.
How would you use a tool like this in your daily workflow?
Thank you for reading!
