File organization and renaming chaos

Batch rename large file sets and route messy folders into deterministic structures—without brittle scripts or cloud uploads.

One-time purchase; your directory structure never leaves your machine.

  • Deterministic rules: repeatable rename and folder-routing logic with token-based rules.
  • Preview before execute: inspect names, paths, and collisions before the job runs.
  • Local-first speed: process large libraries on-device with rollback-minded handling.

Bulk image optimization without uploads or limits

Resize, convert, and compress image batches locally—including WebP and AVIF—without browser queues or cloud dependency.

Perpetual ownership—assets stay on your hardware, not a SaaS queue.

  • High throughput: Rust-powered processing saturates local CPU cores on macOS and Windows.
  • Content-aware heuristics: local analysis of structure, dimensions, and metadata to suggest the right preset fast.
  • Offline-first workflow: no uploads, no account, and no cloud dependency for core conversion.

Keeping reference material visible while you work

Pin docs, browsers, PDFs, and tickets above your main app so you stop losing the window behind everything else.

Power-user workflows with minimal setup—one-time perpetual license.

  • Always on top: pin reference windows so they stay visible while you work in your main application.
  • Zero-latency feel: built for responsiveness on real hardware—no browser tab stack for your spec sheet.
  • Local-first: a real Windows desktop utility—no cloud account required for basic use.

Preventing screen sleep during long tasks

Keep Windows awake for meetings, uploads, dashboards, and overnight jobs—without fake mouse movement or CPU-heavy polling.

Predictable one-time cost; minimal IT overhead on managed laptops.

  • Effectively zero CPU overhead: uses Windows execution-state calls instead of polling loops or fake input.
  • Hardware interlock: auto-pauses when the charger is unplugged or the lid is closed.
  • Per-app targeting: keep awake only when specific apps like ms-teams.exe are active.

Cleaning and editing image metadata

Strip GPS and sensitive photo metadata, route large dumps by EXIF, and organize libraries without sending files to cloud tools.

Preview-safe privacy before client delivery—files never upload for core workflows.

  • Offline metadata cleanup: strip GPS coordinates, altitude, camera owner names, and other sensitive metadata locally.
  • Intelligent routing: sort massive photo dumps into folders using EXIF dates or camera model rules.
  • Rust-powered speed: saturate local CPU cores for fast scans on large libraries.

Setting time boundaries and focus blocks

Keep a persistent countdown HUD on screen for deep work—not buried in the tray—with optional Strict Mode when you mean it.

Speed and simplicity for individuals; predictable cost for small teams.

  • Persistent timer HUD: always-visible countdown on a zero-latency overlay—peripheral time you can't ignore.
  • Rust + Tauri, local-first: no sign-in, no cloud, and no telemetry on your focus sessions.
  • Strict Mode: start a block and the soft pause-and-quit path disappears—on purpose.
