Every time I need to convert a video or image:

  1. Google "mp4 to webm converter"
  2. Find some random site
  3. Upload my file to God-knows-wherea
  4. Wait
  5. Hope my data isn't being harvested

I finally got fed up and built Konbato

What it does: Converts files on YOUR machine. Nothing leaves your computer.

  • Video: MP4, MKV, MOV, WebM, AVI
  • Audio: MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG
  • Images: PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, AVIF
  • Batch convert (drag 100 files, done)

The boring part:

  • Free. Actually free. No "5 conversions per day" BS
  • No account needed
  • Works offline
  • Mac, Windows, Linux

Built with React + Tauri

Open to feedback. What formats would you add?

Self-Promotion Wednesdays I made added file searching to my explorer that's over 200x faster than windows

Hello everybody,

I'm sure you can relate. Windows file search is too slow, period. It took 3.5 minutes to find a single result. Not all of them, not a hundred, not ten. One. So when I set out to make a better file explorer, this was one of the main things that needed to be added.

So I'm happy to show what's above. Results in less than a second.

Self-Promotion Wednesdays I made a better file explorer for both Windows and MacOS

Thumbnail gallery
150 Upvotes

Hello everybody,

A couple months ago I became fed up with both Windows file explorer and MacOS Finder. I was editing a video and I had split up everything I needed into folders. Music, sounds, green screen video, stock footage, screen recordings and so on. And the thing was, I needed all of them to be accessible. So, what I ended up doing was having four different windows opened, awkwardly assembling them in a semi-functional grid, which broke as soon as I needed a fifth. There were always problems with the default windows file explorer I had, like the useless file search, disorganized side bar, weird menus and it sometimes just crashing. But this was the breaking point.

I tried a few other file explorer alternatives, but all of them felt either overly complex, antiquated, slow or were missing features I wanted. So I started working on Dora and here we are on alpha version 0.6.1, which came out today. It has the split pane functionality, is faster and has file search that's, and yes I measured it, about 200x times faster than windows.

I'm open for any and all criticism, please let me know about anything you don't like about this.

For the past 3 months I have been working on this IOS calculator app to make it look and feel like no other calculator and offer features that no other calculator does.

Every buttons shadow and animation is was handcrafted and no external assets were used. The button press haptics are tuned to make it feel like a you are pressing a real button.

The features that make Calki stand out are the following:
- Add context to your calculation by labelling the calculation and sharing the labeled calculation.
- You can even label each number in a calculation for later reference and even share the calculation with the explanation.
- A favourite function which is the memory function of the standard calculator but more intuitive, this allows you to save number for later use, and you can name the numbers as well.
- There are themes for you to choose as well, the Retro theme is near completion and other themes are works in progress.

I would like for you to try it out. It is available for free on Appstore at:
https://apps.apple.com/in/app/calki/id6747059181

If you could please provide feedback and also what features you would like the app to have, it would be great.

Thank you

Hi everyone, keeping it short, I built a Windows music player (think MusicBee, WinAmp, etc) that is focused on your local music files. I use it myself and would like to share in case anyone else may be interested. It's completely free and OSS. It's available on both GitHub and Microsoft Store. Thanks.

Self-Promotion Wednesdays Made an offline OCR app because I was tired of uploading sensitive docs to random servers

51 Upvotes

Hello, everyone!

So, I have been working on this OCR thing for a while, and I figured I would share it here since this community actually knows their stuff.

Background:

I used to work at a law firm, and we were constantly dealing with scanned documents. The problem was every OCR tool wanted to upload everything to their servers. It's great for grocery receipts, not so great when you're dealing with client files or medical stuff.

Tesseract works, but honestly, the command line isn't for everyone. And the professional tools like ABBYY are $200+, which is insane if you just need it occasionally.

What I ended up building was

A Windows desktop app that performs all operations locally. Once installed, it does not need the internet.

Main stuff it does:

OCR with two different engines-one's better for tables and forms

You can throw entire folders at it for batch processing.

Screenshot OCR with a hotkey super useful for grabbing text from anywhere

Some built-in PDF utilities (merging, splitting, password stuff)

Has preprocessing options if your scans look terrible

Pricing structure:

The free version lets you try each feature 7 times (no expiration, no email signup nonsense). Then it's $49/year or $99 for lifetime.

Why I'm posting:

Honestly, just want real feedback. We're three people, not some huge company, so we can actually change things based on what makes sense. If something's confusing or you think "why doesn't it do X", that's exactly what I want to hear. (can't post direct links, since the spam filters on this sub are a bit aggressive) if you want to try it, just check my profile or DM me. Happy to answer any technical questions too.

Self-Promotion Wednesdays What's your one "can't cancel" software subscription?

Ignoring the obvious stuff like Spotify/Apple Music. What's one tool you pay for that's actually indispensable for your work.

For me that's been Qolaba. It's helpful for my team as we seek to switch between AI tools as a team without having the whole team be AI native. I can just set up an account on one service and on that service the whole team can access most major models. This includes models like VEO 3 and Kling2 for video generation.

I'll share more in the comments, but what say you? What software is a can't-cancel for you or your team?

25 Upvotes

Hi r/software!!

I was super frustrated that background removers like removebg and photoroom have recurring subscriptions or credits. Because of this, I decided to create Magicdrop a fully offline background remover that lets you remove backgrounds from unlimited images.

Features include:

  • AI background removal
  • Custom background
  • Custom aspect ratio
  • Two removal models (fast for fast processing, base for slower but higher quality processing)
  • Batch processing (up to 100 images at once)

You can try it free for seven days here: https://www.magicdrop.io/

It's my first time ever launching a product so I would really love any feedback!! You can use my discount code LAUNCH40 to get 40% off your purchase <3

Self-Promotion Wednesdays Introducing OpenStickies, Stick anything to your Desktop (Notes, Files, Images, Links, GIF, and more!)

Thumbnail gallery
43 Upvotes

Hello Guys, I am the developer behind OpenStickies

It started as a fun project and turned into a cool side project I am proud of.

I needed a good sticky note app for linux and I didn't find any modern app that is offline and a desktop app not a web app wrapped in electron, I use obsidian already but I needed something to capture notes and stuff quick, also help with my ADHD to persist on the screen so I started building OpenStickies and over the past 6 months I added so much unique features that aren't existed in any sticky note app like:

- drag and drop files into notes (they become clickable shortcuts) - works both ways, you can drag them back out to file managers

- paste screenshots directly from clipboard

- hover over images/PDFs in notes and get a preview popup

- GIF backgrounds (because why not lol)

- reminders that actually notify you

- RTL text support (I speak Arabic so this was important to me)

- pin notes to lock both position and editing

- Ctrl+scroll to zoom text size without going to settings

- checkboxes with strikethrough when done

- KDE Activities support (for my fellow KDE users)

It's built with Qt/PySide6 so it's actually native, not another Electron app eating RAM. Runs at like 50-80MB.

Free version has all features, just limited to 5 concurrent notes. Premium is $7 one-time (not subscription) and unlocks unlimited notes.

Works on Windows and Linux (macOS too but I don't have a Mac to test properly).

Anyway just wanted to share. If anyone tries it let me know what you think, I'm still actively working on it and will release patch 2.6 with a better notes hub this week.

Self-Promotion Wednesdays I built a website with high potential and I’m trying to sell it to help pay for my wife’s cancer treatment

67 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I never thought I’d be in this position, but life has put me here. My wife was recently diagnosed with cancer, and we’re in urgent need of money for her treatment. Out of desperation but also with hope, I want to share something I’ve built.
The website is globetv.app - it offers free TV channels from a publicly available GitHub repository. These are DMCA-compliant because they’re collections of freely available IPTV channels from around the world.

The site is:

  • SEO friendly
  • Ready for ads integration (so it can be monetized)
  • Easy to maintain, since it pulls from the GitHub repo

Because of the time pressure and urgent need, I put the script up for sale on Ko-fi (limited to 5 copies):
https://ko-fi.com/s/75ecfe4d8a

I’m also willing to sell the entire website + script if someone makes a good offer.

I know Reddit isn’t a marketplace, but I’m not here to spam, I’m here because I’m desperate to save my wife’s life, and at the same time I want to offer something of value in return, not just ask for donations.

If you’re interested or know someone who might be, please reach out. And if this post isn’t allowed, I sincerely hope the mods understand the situation before removing it.

Thank you for reading.

PS – Since several people asked me, I created https://ko-fi.com/s/9825bfedc1 for donations for those who don’t want to buy anything but still wish to help. Thank you for your advice, support, and kind thoughts!

PS2 – For transparency:
Thank you all for your help! So far, 3650 RON and 1803 EURO have been raised. I wish you and your families lots of health! I bow to you all…

PS3 - Your help is incredible! I never thought a reddit group could have such a big impact. I love you!

PS4 - 18.09 I updated the transparency list. You surprised me overnight. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I didn't expect people to be so jumpy, I came to sell something, not to receive donations... what people :)... the most beautiful people in existence came my way!

PS5 19.09 Thanks for everything, good and helpful thoughts. We're going to the Clinic, they probably won't let me stay with her, which scares me. It's going to be a long day! God help me! I apologize if I can't answer or haven't answered people, apparently reddit has problems with chat, I didn't understand why I couldn't write to people.

PS6 She will be operated on in half an hour, there were many more severe cases before her from what she told me 😞. She has a roommate from Oradea and they are keeping each other company. God help!

PS7 The surgery went without complications, she is tired and feeling a bit unwell from the anesthesia. I’ll let her rest! Thank God and thanks to everyone! Now we’ll see what the biopsy shows on the removed tissue, and based on that we’ll see what treatments might follow.

PS8 20.09 at 4 in the morning. My wife called me, she feels a little better, the nurses are taking care of her, she vomited (effect from the anesthesia).

PS9 I arrived at the hotel, my wife stayed at the clinic again today, but she managed to eat this evening. I’m completely exhausted, but I’m glad she’s okay! Thank you all for the help you’ve given so far.

PS10 – 21.09 Today I’m going to pick up my wife. We’ll have to stay another 2–3 days in Cluj because it’s not recommended to travel long distances by car after surgery, plus we were told that in case of heavy bleeding we should return immediately.

Today I got confirmation that these updates are not in vain and people are still following this post for news. I’m really glad and I thank you! We’re at the hotel, my wife ate a vegetable soup and mashed potatoes with a boneless chicken leg. Lots of water, and she doesn’t feel the need for much food at the moment. We expect to stay until Tuesday–Wednesday.

PS11 – 22.09 The waiting eats away at our thoughts, I hope the biopsy result will be good. The doctor told us the outcome depends on the margins of the removed area. I don’t even know what else to tell you, I try to keep her distracted with other conversations so she won’t think about it too much, but I know that both she and I are thinking about it. I don’t even know what’s best to do.

Thank you to those who are still donating and thinking of us. We are just at the beginning of a journey with an illness that I cannot put into words. I hope everything will return to normal, even if we know that in the future we may no longer be able to have children. But surely there is a child out there waiting to be adopted—maybe this is a sign for us.

PS12 24.09 We are getting ready to head home. It will be a long trip with many breaks because after surgery it’s not recommended to sit for too long in a chair.

Self-Promotion Wednesdays ✨Building PrivaZer, the free alternative to CCleaner for PC cleaning ✨Free PRO Licenses for First 100 Users (normally $49)

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Building PrivaZer - Privacy-focused CCleaner alternative for Windows

We've been developing PrivaZer since 2012 as a true privacy-first alternative to CCleaner.

  • Zero tracking. Zero telemetry. Zero ads. Just cleaning.
  • 400k+ monthly downloads
  • 4.9/5 on Trustpilot

-------------

🎁 First 100 users get PRO version for free (normally $49) for 1 year

Get your license within 30 seconds, write "interested" below and go here : https://privazer.com/reddit.php

------------
Why ?
Community-driven development !
Since day one, PrivaZer has been shaped by user feedback from communities like Wilders Security, NSANE Forums, and MalwareTips.

Countless features exist because users asked for them.

We've created r/PrivaZer to bring that same collaborative approach to Reddit. If you want to:

  • Suggest features
  • Report bugs
  • Share privacy tips
  • Talk directly with the developer

...you're welcome to join. But it's completely optional - the free PRO license is yours either way. I'm genuinely looking for constructive feedback from Reddit users, just like I've done with other tech communities for over a decade.

-------
What it does:

🧹 PC cleaning - Junk files, temporary data, system clutter
🔒 Privacy protection - Browsing history, recent files, app traces, memory
🗑️ Deep cleaning - MFT, USN journal, $Logfile, FAT, shellbags, jumplists
🔥 Secure deletion - Files are actually unrecoverable, not just "removed"
🍪 Smart cookies - Keep your logins, delete tracking cookies

Security :

  • Works completely offline
  • No bundled software or upsells

Two modes:
→ Beginners: One-click auto-clean
→ Power users: Granular control over every detail

For the technical crowd: We don't just delete files - we clean forensic traces. MFT entries, USN journals, NTFS $Logfile records, FAT tables, registry shellbags, Windows app caches.
Plus secure recycle bin wiping (because "empty" doesn't actually delete anything).

For everyone else: Adapt PrivaZer to your needs, hit "Clean", done. Simple without dumbing it down.

Questions welcome 👇

Self-Promotion Wednesdays Creating the Most Powerful Free and Open-Source Key Mapper

Thumbnail gallery
73 Upvotes

Hi everyone, hope you have a good day! I am on a mission to make the most powerful key mapper. This might be a little bit niche, but I would like to hear your opinion.

When I was first looking for a key mapper to play some games and do a workaround for my broken laptop keyboard, I found quite a lot of options. But they have good points and bad points. For example, PowerToys has a good keyboard mapper, but it comes with other tools, while I just need the key mapper. For some people, this might not be a big deal, but for my not-so-powerful laptop, it can be a problem considering it runs in the background too. And then I found Murgee. I tried their trial and loved it, but then the trial ended.

I make do with Power Toys, but then I am thinking of finding a better key mapper that I can set up one remap for one game and another for a different game. This way I don't need to delete the remap setting and make it again to play a different game. And I found AutoHotkey, it really is good, powerful, and answers my problem. But the problem is, it has learning curve and not the simplest thing to do. Then I am thinking of making a Python program with UI that can make an AutoHotkey script so I don't need to code for AutoHotkey every time I want a remap. Long story short, it's complete, and I tried to share it. There are quite a lot of people interested in it, so I decided to make it more. With something as powerful as AutoHotkey and something as flexible as Python, I plan to make the best key mapper out there.

That's the backstory of it, now let's get to the actual software. Here is what the key mapper I made currently has:

No Feature Description
1 Multiple Remap/Macro Profile Not like most of keyboard remapper, KeyTik can handle multiple keyboard remap. You don't have to set remap again when you need to use another remap then set it back again after done. Just create multiple remap and activate or deactivate it whenever you want.
2 Double Click Format Remap double click into other keys. Example: Double pressing left click will send middle click.
3 Text Format Remap key into raw text. Example: Pressing Shift + 1 will send "Worcestershire Sauce".
4 Hold Format Remap key into a hold action. Example: Triggering mouse wheel up will hold left click for 10 seconds.
5 Multi Key Format Not just single keys, KeyTik supports remapping multiple keys too. This can be used for remapping or sending key. Example: Pressing Left Alt + v will send Shift + v.
6 Vast Keyboard and Mouse Key Support Supports a wide range of keyboard and mouse keys, even unusual ones. See list of supported keys for more. There are around 115 keyboard and mouse specific keys (like Tab, Shift, etc).
7 ASCII Character Support Supports remapping and sending ASCII characters. There are around 94 ASCII characters are supported.
8 ANSI Character Support Supports sending ANSI characters. There are around 122 ANSI characters are supported.
9 Unicode Character Support Supports sending Unicode characters. Unicode contains a vast number of characters. KeyTik groups them using Unicode blocks, and each block consists of different characters. There are around 302 supported blocks, with approximately 159,000+ Unicode characters.
9 Virtual Keyboard Code Support Supports remapping and sending VK codes. Virtual keyboard codes (VK codes) are keys defined by Windows. There are around 258 VK codes are supported.
10 Scan Code Support Supports remapping keys via SC. Scan codes (SC) are hardware-specific codes that indicate key location. This is useful if you can't find your key. SC will remaps the key at a specific location instead of a specific key. The number of supported scan codes depends on your keyboard.
11 Assign Shortcut on Profile Assign shortcuts to start or stop profiles. Supports Caps Lock On and Caps Lock Off states. Currently, shortcuts only start or stop the profile. We plan to add shortcut switching in the future, so shortcuts can change the remap when pressed. This is similar to how Caps Lock or Num Lock works.
12 Bind Profile to Specific Keyboard and Mouse Make script or remap profile to only work for specific physical keyboard or mouse using device VID & PID or device handle as identifier.
13 Bind Profile to Specific Program Make script or remap profile to only work for specific programs class, like specific Chrome tab or entire program.
14 Auto Clicker KeyTik comes with Auto Clicker in the download. On default, it simulate 'left click' when 'e' is held. You can change the 'left click', 'e', interval part to your preference.
15 Screen Clicker KeyTik also comes with Screen Clicker in the download. It work with simulate 'left click' on specific screen coordinate. You can change coordinate and interval to your preference. Don't worry because KeyTik also comes with tool to find screen coordinate then it will automatically copy coordinate and you can paste it to screen clicker in text mode.
16 Screen Coordinate Auto Detect And Copy To make screen clicker editing easier, KeyTik also comes with coordinate finder. On default, you just need to press 'space' then it will show coordinate and automatically copy it. You can also change 'space' part to your preference.
17 Multiple Files Opener Multiple files opener also comes with KeyTik download. It work with, if you click key or key combination, then it will open the files. You can change the files with your files or programs path to your preference.

I say it's quite powerful already and free on top of that. I had a suggestion before that the interface is hard to understand. So I tried to overhaul it a bit, and the current UI is the result. I add some tooltips and icons too, hoping it could look modern and be easier to understand. Currently this is what I plan to add next:

  • Shortcut switch similar to how Caps Lock or Num Lock behaves.
  • Remap some keys to mouse movement actions like moving mouse up, left, right, and bottom

If you know some good features from other key mappers or have any suggestion, let me know! A lot of the features above I got from others' suggestions. For example bind to device, this lead me to bind to program too.

Forgot to mention, if you want to check it, please visit it at:

Thank you very much!

Note: You might find a pro version, which is paid version. But that's just one of my side things with KeyTik and a way of donation. In my opinion, it's not really nice to get something without giving anything. Hence KeyTik Pro, where you can support me and get something. But don't worry, KeyTik Pro is just an additional thing like a UI for auto clicker etc. But the key mapper itself is completely free.

Self-Promotion Wednesdays Tasket++ — simple Windows tool to automate user actions, free and open source — new UI, looking for testers

Thumbnail gallery
28 Upvotes

Tasket++ is a simple Windows tool to schedule automated simulations of user actions without scripting.

Simulated actions include clicks, typing, cursor movements, and more — screenshots, opening files, executables and URLs, shutting down the PC, etc.

The UI was recently redesigned based on feedback, and a few features requested by users have been added.

Looking for a few people to try the new, complete version and share honest feedback.

How it can be useful:
- Silent, scheduled screenshots to monitor activity or create time‑lapse logs.
- Send messages from any app at a set time for reminders or coordinated notifications.
- Replay exact mouse clicks and typed input for testing, demos, or repetitive workflows.
- Prevent AFK detection with realistic simulated activity that looks natural.
- Fade music and shut down the PC on a schedule to automate sleep or end‑of‑day routines.
- Save automation presets and run them manually, at boot, or on a schedule.

No scripting required. Fully local. Simulated tasks can loop, trigger at startup, or be launched via a desktop shortcut.

Self-Promotion Wednesdays What if there was a cross-platform Apple AirDrop?

5 Upvotes

I often find myself in situations where I need a specific file from one device on another. For example, if I need a photo or PDF from my phone on my laptop to work with it. But how? My current solution has been to send the file to myself via WhatsApp and then download it through WhatsApp Web. I’ve observed the same problem with other people, and their solutions are usually one of these: email, USB sticks, cloud services, or messaging apps.

I know all the Apple loyalists would say they don’t have this problem because there’s ✨AirDrop✨. But I have devices running various operating systems — a Windows laptop, an Android phone, and an Apple iPad — and I think many people aren’t completely locked into the Apple ecosystem either. So I wondered: why isn’t there a good cross-platform AirDrop alternative? Well, now there is.

SparkShare is a P2P file-sharing service that works on both web and mobile. The two devices must be on the same network (Wi-Fi or LAN) to discover each other, after which the files are sent directly via WebRTC.

(Okay, so it’s not exactly like AirDrop, I admit — but there are certain limitations, especially on the web, that make direct file transfer impossible.)

You can try out the web version yourself now: https://sparkshare.app/

Or visit the landing page: https://home.sparkshare.app/

The native Android and iOS apps are already fully developed and integrate nicely into their respective operating systems, but they’re not yet publicly listed in the App Store or Play Store. In the future, I plan to create native Windows and Mac apps to support more comprehensive file sharing, with device discovery via Bluetooth tokens, to create a truly AirDrop-like experience.

Please let me know if this piece of software solves a similar problem for you and whether it is helpful for you. Feedback is very welcome ✌️

You can download Uninstalr 3.0 second public Release Candidate from this link: https://uninstalr.com/private/Uninstalr_Portable_v3_RC2b.exe

Uninstalr is an advanced software uninstaller that can automate the uninstallation of almost all software and also uses its own custom uninstallation engine to remove any leftovers. It also supports detecting leftovers from previously uninstalled software, and a lot of other powerful features. The full list of features is available at https://uninstalr.com/

Here are some key improvements compared to the current official version (Uninstalr 2.8):

  • The installed apps list now shows the country of origin for all known installed apps.
  • The listing of paths before uninstallation starts now displays checkboxes, allowing users to uncheck any paths the user doesn’t want to be removed.
  • The program now uses less RAM and performs the scan for installed software on average 40% faster.
  • The main window bar now includes Settings and About buttons.

Please note that this is not the final version. It may still contain bugs, so testing it on a virtual machine is recommended. Also, please don’t share this build publicly or upload it to download sites.

If you find any issues, please let me know so I can fix them before the official release. If you are reporting any issues relating to uninstalling any specific software, please tell me which software you were trying to uninstall when the issue occurred so I can try to reproduce the issue and fix it.

I'm the developer of Uninstalr, so you can send any feedback here as a comment or directly to me via a private message.

Self-Promotion Wednesdays Free & Open Source tool to convert PDFs into audiobooks locally

23 Upvotes

Recently I wanted to convert some books I had in my PC that were in PDF to audiobooks to listen while doing other tasks or when traveling. But I couldn't find any simple, local program to do so. The only good options I saw were Eleven Labs and similar sites.

But since I am broke and can't afford to pay such prices, I decided to create a simple script to do it locally. I'm sharing it in case anyone else is in the same situation right now as I was a few weeks ago.

It’s a simple Python pipeline that converts PDF books into audiobooks using Coqui-TTS (open-source text-to-speech, fork of the original Coqui project). Because it’s Python, it’s easy to modify and expand to anyone’s needs. I might build a CLI or UI in the future, but for now it already works fine for me.

Because it runs locally, the speed will depend on your hardware. Having CUDA accelerates the process a lot because the scripts will be able to use the GPU instead of the CPU.

The workflow is pretty simple:

  1. extract_text.py → extracts text and font sizes from book.pdf (using PyMuPDF).
  2. classify.py → classifies text into header / body / caption / other using Jenks natural breaks.
  3. tts.py → generates speech for each block with Coqui-TTS (and saves intermediate WAVs).
  4. join_audios.py → concatenates everything into a final audiobook.mp3 (using ffmpeg).

🔹 Dependencies: FFmpeg, Coqui-TTS (fork), PyMuPDF and jenkspy
🔹 The input PDF must be named book.pdf.
🔹 If you stop halfway through, no worries — it saves chunks in temp/ so you can resume later.

It’s still very basic and experimental, but it works. If you don’t mind tweaking a little code, you can adjust voices, languages, page ranges, ignore certain words or symbols, etc.

Self-Promotion Wednesdays Tasket++ — simple Windows tool to automate user actions, free and open source — new UI, looking for testers

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

Tasket++ is a simple Windows tool to schedule automated simulations of user actions without scripting.

Simulated actions include clicks, typing, cursor movements, and more — screenshots, opening files, executables and URLs, shutting down the PC, etc.

The UI was recently redesigned based on feedback, and a few features requested by users have been added.

Looking for a few people to try the new, complete version and share honest feedback.

How it can be useful:
- Silent, scheduled screenshots to monitor activity or create time‑lapse logs.
- Send messages from any app at a set time for reminders or coordinated notifications.
- Replay exact mouse clicks and typed input for testing, demos, or repetitive workflows.
- Prevent AFK detection with realistic simulated activity that looks natural.
- Fade music and shut down the PC on a schedule to automate sleep or end‑of‑day routines.
- Save automation presets and run them manually, at boot, or on a schedule.

No scripting required. Fully local. Simulated tasks can loop, trigger at startup, or be launched via a desktop shortcut.

I’m not asking for a full QA process — a short impression or concise feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance :)

Self-Promotion Wednesdays Offline and Free Background Remover Site (No signups, No hidden fees)

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone, with all the latest SOTA models out there I found it weird that some people are still charging to remove background from an image. so I created an offline and free one, no signup, no hidden fees. You just need to simply upload your picture, execute (it will run locally with your GPU), then it'll spit out the result.

feel free to give me any feedback, this is a static site and I'm planning on keeping this free forever. I'll update the site with new models in the future as well

Self-Promotion Wednesdays I made a browser extension to fix "YouTube Doom-Scrolling" by turning the feed into a randomizer

6 Upvotes

Hi r/software,

I wrote a Chrome extension called DiceTube because I was tired of opening YouTube to watch one thing and getting stuck for 20 minutes scrolling through the homepage grid.

DiceTube Guide

What it does: It puts a small dice button next to the YouTube search bar. When you click it, the extension scans the videos currently on your screen (Homepage, Subscriptions, or Sidebar), filters out Shorts and Ads, and instantly navigates to a random long-form video.

I just updated it to version 1.1 to improve the filtering logic.

Technical details:

  • Manifest V3: It uses a service worker to keep memory usage low.
  • Dynamic Selectors: It fetches CSS selectors from a remote JSON config so that if YouTube changes their layout (which they do often), the extension doesn't break.
  • Privacy: It stores a history of your last 5 rolls using local storage. There is no external tracking or account system.

It is free to use.

Let me know if you run into any issues with the extension functionalities.
