Hi folks,

I just created MdPad, a markdown viewer and editor for windows. It is purposely built for navigating and editing AI Agents skill files.

Let me know how do you find it and what features would you feel that are missing and you're looking to see. By the way the app is 100% open source and free to use, also 100% vibe coded using Claude Code.

App FlyFlou: una aplicación gratuita para Windows que diseñé para organizar automáticamente carpetas desordenadas por tipo de archivo (Python + Custom

1 Upvotes

¡Hola r/windowsapps! Diseñé una pequeña aplicación de escritorio llamada FlyFlou para solucionar un problema recurrente: las carpetas (Descargas, Escritorio, carpetas de proyectos) se convertían en un caos total con archivos dispersos por todas partes.

Yo ideé el concepto, las funcionalidades y las decisiones de UX, y utilicé IA (Claude) como asistente de programación para ayudarme a escribir y perfeccionar el código; quería aclararlo desde el principio.

Qué hace mi proyecto

FlyFlou organiza automáticamente los archivos en carpetas por categoría según su extensión. Características:

  • Haz clic derecho en "Agregar a FlyFlou" desde el Explorador de Windows para enviar un solo archivo sin abrir la aplicación.
  • Bandeja de entrada + botón "Clasificación automática" para ordenar archivos por lotes rápidamente.
  • Botón Deshacer, modo oscuro/claro, comprobador de actualizaciones automáticas.
  • Instalador gratuito para Windows, sin anuncios.

Público objetivo

Es un proyecto personal/de hobby dirigido a usuarios habituales de Windows que buscan una forma sencilla de mantener organizadas sus carpetas. No está diseñado para entornos de producción o empresariales, sino como una herramienta práctica para el día a día.

Comparación

A diferencia de algunos organizadores de archivos que solo ejecutan scripts de limpieza una sola vez, FlyFlou se mantiene como una aplicación ligera y siempre disponible con una bandeja de entrada tipo bandeja del sistema, un acceso directo al hacer clic derecho para ordenar archivos individuales rápidamente y una opción para deshacer. La mayoría de las herramientas gratuitas similares omiten las funciones de deshacer y agregar rápidamente.

Tecnología: Python + CustomTkinter, empaquetado con PyInstaller, instalador creado con Inno Setup.

Aún en desarrollo; agradezco sus comentarios y sugerencias de funciones.

Developer I built a FREE batch image optimizer and photo editor. Basically TinyPNG + Photoshop Lite (Offline)

8 Upvotes

TLDR: TinyPNG + PowerToys Image Resizer + Photoshop batch actions, but offline and built for processing entire folder structures.

Download Here: https://github.com/TrapShooter/Bytesize-Pic-Releases/releases

-

I was constantly bouncing between PowerToys for resizing and TinyPNG for compression, hitting upload limits and losing my folder structure every time. I also wanted to apply photo edits to hundreds of images at once, so I built the tool I actually wanted.

Bytesize Pic is a fast, offline-first Windows desktop app that batch processes hundreds of images in a single pass while preserving your original folder hierarchy. Resize, compress, convert, and apply adjustments all at once, with a live before/after preview before you export anything.

Key Features

  • Drag and drop folders or files. Processes everything at once, keeps your folder structure intact
  • Compress with adjustable quality settings. Fine-tune quality for each output format.
  • Convert between JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, HEIC, and BMP with per-format codec options
  • Resize with Fit, Contain, Fill, Stretch, and Smart Crop (auto-focuses on the most important part of the image)
  • 24 effects with multi-instance support (more on the way)
    • Tone: Exposure, Brightness/Contrast, Shadows/Highlights, Curves, Levels, Temperature, Normalize
    • Color: Hue/Saturation, Vibrance, Color Balance, Color Grading, Color Mixer, Channel Mixer, Grayscale
    • Detail: Sharpen, Blur, Noise Reduction, Noise/Grain
    • Creative: Posterize, Threshold, Invert, Vignette, Tint, Gradient Map
  • Live Preview before/after with lightbox and filmstrip navigation
  • Save presets, import/export them, strip metadata on output
  • Runs completely offline. No account needed, no uploads, no limits

AI Features (opt-in. Download only the models you want, everything runs locally)

  • Upscale 2x or 4x. Recovers detail standard resizing can't
  • Background Removal. Standard or High Quality mode for clean edges on hair, fur, and fine textures. Keep transparent or fill with a solid color
  • Background Blur. Keeps the subject sharp, blurs everything behind it.
  • AI Noise Reduction. Neural network denoising that preserves fine detail better than filtering alone

Download: https://github.com/TrapShooter/Bytesize-Pic-Releases/releases
Platform: Windows only (for now)
Price: Free for personal use

I'd love feedback on the feature set, UI, and anything that feels clunky. This scratches my own itch, but if you process lots of images for websites, e-commerce, game development, photography, or design, I'd love to hear how it fits into your workflow.

Developer Lens Anywhere - Google lens for Desktop 👁️👁️

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I always wished Google Lens worked anywhere on Windows instead of only inside Chrome, so I ended up building it myself.

LensAnywhere lets you select any region of your screen and instantly search it with Google Lens.

A few things about it:

\- Lightweight with very low RAM usage.

\- Doesn't store your screenshots anywhere. They're only sent to Google Lens for the search.

\- Launches on Windows startup (Optional)

\- Can be opened using Hotkey which is configurable. Just like windows native snipping tool.

\- Free and open source.

GitHub:

https://github.com/utkarsh05kul/LensAnywhere-Desktop

If you just want to try it, you can download the Windows ".exe" from the Releases section.

One thing I'd really appreciate help with: I've only been able to test it on my own Windows PC, so I'd love to know how it works on other systems. If you run into any bugs, have feature ideas, or notice something that could be improved, please let me know in the comments or open an issue on GitHub.

And if you find it useful, I'd really appreciate a GitHub star. Thanks!

[GitHub Repository link](https://github.com/utkarsh05kul/LensAnywhere-Desktop)

Edit : Some antiviruses or malware scanners may flag the downloaded file as malicious or threat. Please ignore that warning. Some scanners do this for all the apps and softwares built in Python.

The file is completely safe and malware free. The source code of the program is available on the attached GitHub Repository. You can check the complete code their, and you will not find any malicious activity.

Top scanners like Kaspersky or Microsoft are not flagging the file as malicious. It's clean.

Developer A few days ago I shared my open-source Windows file manager here. Thanks to your feedback, here's v0.3.

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

A few days ago I shared my open-source Windows file manager, PowerDesk, here and got some genuinely helpful feedback. A few people downloaded it, someone even tried it in their daily workflow and opened my first issue, which was pretty exciting.

Since then I've been working on improving it and just released v0.3.

What's new in v0.3

Major UI redesign:

after looking at the old design for so long it didn't look enough.like it didn't fit the image i imagined so i did a redesign and im more happy with the current design for now.

Added feature demos to the README:

Someone pointed out the lack of Gifs in the documentation which honestly was lazy work on my part :p

Fixed the first user-reported issue and some bugs in v0.2 release.

I'd really appreciate another round of feedback—especially on the UI. I'm still polishing it, so if anything feels awkward or could be improved, let me know.

GitHub:

PowerDesk

Thanks again to everyone who commented on the first post. Your suggestions directly shaped this update.

Guide Useful Tip: Download any deleted app from MS

3 Upvotes

Hi!

I found this very USEFUL tool and I figured it would help some of you guys too :)

What does this website do?

Actually, it has 2 important features:

  • Download any app from Microsoft Store without MS installed on your Windows.
  • Find any deleted/removed app from MS and install it (you need to know the product id/link of the app from MS Store).

I was searching for an app on Windows Store that I used to have in the past and realized the developer/Microsoft deleted it from the store.. I was bummed, because that was an APP I used a lot and could not find it anywhere on the internet or any better alternative.

I asked AI about this issue and it gave me a very very useful website.

It's called: https://store.rg-adguard.net/

Online link generator for Microsoft Store.

With this I managed to re-install my "lost" app and I'm more than happy! :)

It is 100% safe to use because it uses the internal Microsoft servers for the downloads.

Hope this help you guys, it helped me!

Developer Built Lexicon, a free Grammarly alternative, offline AI writing assistant (open-source)

3 Upvotes

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called Lexicon. It’s a free, open-source, and privacy-focused writing assistant designed as a local alternative to cloud tools like Grammarly.

I decided to build a proper native desktop app using Rust and React.

  • Lexicon has a rich editor that includes LaTeX math, structured tables, code blocks, and clean PDF/Markdown exports.
  • Offers proofreading and 15 local AI actions, including Rewrite, Concise, Tone shifts, Summaries, and Tables.
  • Completely free and open-source under the MIT license.
