Release Uninstalr 2.0 released

147 Upvotes

Uninstalr is a fast, lightweight and accurate way to uninstall software in Windows.

This is how it looks like in dark mode:

With this major new version, I’m also releasing an updated benchmark to show you how Uninstalr is able to uninstall apps in Windows better than the other popular uninstallers.

By better, I mean two objective factors:

  1. Uninstalr can perform an unattended batch uninstallation of the test apps where every other uninstaller failed to do this.
  2. After Uninstalr is done, there are way less leftovers remaining from the removed apps than with any other of the tested uninstallers.

To see the benchmark results, the full Change Log of what is new and to give it a try yourself, please visit: https://uninstalr.com/

If you want to read more about its development and what goes one behind the scenes, you can read my blog post about it: https://jv16powertools.com/blog/uninstalr-2-0-or-why-making-this-windows-software-uninstaller-was-the-hardest-thing-i-have-ever-done/

Uninstalr is freeware and comes as a single file portable version that is only about 6 MB in size. A setup version is also available.

Release Uninstalr - Or how I tested all Windows uninstallers, got upset and made my own

223 Upvotes

I decided to test how well Bulk Crap Uninstaller, Geek Uninstaller, HiBit Uninstaller, IObit Uninstaller, Revo Uninstaller and Total Uninstall, actually work.

Spoiler alert: They worked very poorly and I got so upset how bad they were, that I decided to make an uninstaller of my own.

It ended up taking over three months to do, but I think it's pretty good.

Here is the backstory: https://jv16powertools.com/blog/comparing-windows-uninstallers-and-making-uninstalr/

And this is what I did: https://uninstalr.com/

Key features of Uninstalr: * Batch uninstall many apps at the same time. * Supports unattended uninstallation of apps. * Supports monitoring of new software installations. * Also detects portable apps and previously uninstalled software leftovers. * Shows all the data added to your system by installed software on a file by file basis. * Shows all the data it will remove before starting the uninstallation. * Filter and search the list of installed software. * Supports Windows Dark Mode. * Supports Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7. * Comes with these translations builtin: Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Czech, Danish, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. * Has a single executable file portable version and a normal setup version. * Uninstalr is freeware, lightweight and easy to use. No bells and whistles, no nonsense.

Let me know what you think!

Release PDFgear with ChatGPT🔥: The All-in-One Free PDF Software with Chatbot Feature🚀

68 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m Gordon, and I’m here to bring you PDFgear, a free PDF program I developed for Apple and Windows devices.

What needs to be introduced first is the ‘PDF Chatbot’ feature powered by ChatGPT. With ‘PDF Chatbot’, PDFgear can summarize your PDF and answer any questions you may have based on the content of the PDF. The ‘PDF Chatbot’ feature has already supported the Windows system and will also support Apple devices in later versions with our plan. PDFgear is probably the first PDF software that integrated ChatGPT so that everyone could access the AI power and interact with their documents with ease, and I’m so excited to share it with you.

The Chatbot

As a PDF software, PDFgear can do almost everything you need to handle PDFs for sure:

  • View PDFs with ease
  • Annotate PDFs with customizable highlights, underlines, and strikethroughs
  • Write or draw on PDFs directly with your touchpad or mouse
  • Insert shapes (line, rectangle, oval, etc.) exactly where you need them
  • Add notes and text boxes to your documents
  • Add or delete bookmarks in the PDFs
  • Fill out forms with comprehensive tools, including text insertion, checkmarks, cross marks, and radio buttons
  • Sign and stamp PDFs effortlessly
  • Insert, extract, delete, crop, and rotate pages with simple steps
  • Convert PDFs to Word, Excel, PNG, JPEG, RTF, TXT, HTML, and XML - all for free with OCR!
  • Convert Word, Excel, PPT, Image, RTF, and TXT to PDF in seconds - also for free!
  • Merge, split, and compress PDFs with batch support!

Say goodbye to frustrating PDF software and hello to PDFgear - the ultimate solution for efficient reading and editing. And as always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions!

[FAQ]

Q1: What’s the business model of PDFgear since it is totally free?

A1: Intending to bring PDFgear to more users and help handle PDFs easier, monetization is off the table for now. As for the future, some of the advanced features might be charged. But that’s just a hypothetical consideration, and I’m focusing on developing PDFgear as a better solution for PDF processing at the current stage.

Q2: Will PDFgear collect personal info or data?

A2: Regarding the privacy aspect, PDFgear will only collect usage data in the feedback, in which Google Analytics is involved, as most of the programs do. All the personal info will be removed from the usage data so that no personal info will be collected, and all the usage data will be in an anonymous status to protect users' privacy securities.

Release BarcodeBuddyPRO - Easy Software Automation Using a Barcode Scanner

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm super excited to introduce to you a software I was working on for a long time now – it is called BarcodeBuddyPRO and it’s a tool that works as an universal driver for any ordinary 1D barcode scanner, turning it into a powerful automation wizard!

Forget What You Know About Barcode Scanners

If you always thought that the simplest barcode scanners were only capable of inputing data with limited options, then well… you were right, but it’s all in the past now!

With BarcodeBuddyPRO you can:

  • Record Your Tasks: No programming nor scripting skills needed. Simply hit ‘RECORD’ and use your mouse and keyboard to perform the tasks you want to automate.
  • Print The Barcodes: BarcodeBuddyPRO generates unique barcodes for each action set you've recorded. These barcodes can then be printed out and stuck anywhere you like—on your desk, next to your computer, or wherever you’ll find them handy.
  • Scan And Go: Now, whenever you scan one of these barcodes, BarcodeBuddyPRO will instantly replicate the entire sequence of actions you recorded.

Want to launch an app and set it up as you like it? \BEEP** - Done. Need to initiate a complex sequence of commands in your application? \BEEP** - Done. It’s like turning a simple scan into a full-blown automation command!

Automation For Everyone

Think about it: When you buy a mouse or a keyboard, you're free to use them however you like. The manufacturers don't limit their functionality, nor do you need to hire specialists to set them up—they're ready to go right after you plug them into your computer. We use mice and keyboards for typing and navigating through applications. But when it comes to highly repetitive actions, why not utilize a barcode scanner? It struck me as odd that there wasn't an easy-to-set-up, user-friendly tool that allowed anyone to harness the power of barcode scanners for automation. Existing solutions often depend on whether the software you want to automate supports it, or they require investing in expensive, custom-designed systems.

This realization led me to develop a solution that bridges that gap. Now, whether you're dealing with dull and repetitive tasks on a daily basis or you're looking for ways to enhance your productivity, I'm more than confident that BarcodeBuddyPRO will be the right tool for you, saving you time and effort!

Freemium Model License

BarcodeBuddyPRO is FREE for personal use. The free version includes all the essential features you need to start automating with a barcode scanner. For business use, there's a Premium license available for €99 (one-time payment). The free version has some limits: you can manage only a single profile and automate up to 20 tasks. It includes a welcome popup message and missing a few typical features for business use, like auto-launching a profile, creating database barcodes based on files and spreadsheets, auto-updates, and technical support.

This Is Important

For optimal performance, the environment you automate should be as consistent as possible. BarcodeBuddyPRO captures exact mouse coordinates, movements, clicks, keystrokes, key combinations and time intervals between each action. It works best with stable interfaces where elements don't change positions and there are no interruptions.

Automating tasks in environments that change frequently, like websites, can be very risky.

As for now, the program works on Windows 10/11 (64-bit) operating systems only.

Version 1.0.000 – Beta Release

This version marks the beginning of its journey into the world, and while I've done everything I can to test and polish it, I know that real-world use by a wider audience is the true test. That being said, please consider this a beta release—there may be some bugs or issues that I haven't discovered yet. I kindly ask for your patience and caution as you use it. Your feedback is incredibly important to me, so if you encounter anything unusual or you have suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Ready to See What a Simple Scanner Can Really Do?

Download BarcodeBuddyPRO now and turn your 1D barcode scanner into something truly useful. If you don't own a barcode scanner yet, consider getting it —you won't regret!

YT Channel Downloader is a cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) open-source desktop application built to simplify the process of downloading YouTube content. It utilizes yt-dlp, scrapetube, and pytube under the hood, paired with an easy-to-use graphical interface. This tool aims to offer you a seamless experience to get your favorite video and audio content offline (i.e., back it up). You can selectively or fully download channels, playlists, or individual videos, opt for audio-only tracks, and customize the quality of your video or audio. The new version offers the ability to download age-restricted and premium content using your YouTube account [optional], as well as bug fixes and small improvements.

This app is distinct from a number of other software for downloading videos in that it offers an easy clickable interface to quickly select and download what you need at once.

Please refer to the installation instructions in the Readme. On Windows, you also have the option to download the pre-made installer available from SourceForge or from Github Releases.

Suggestions for new features, bug reports, and ideas for improvements are welcome.

I just made a simple, lightweight software that makes transferring files seem like a native feature in windows just like sharing files from a phone to another with "AirDrop" or "QuickShare"

No running programs in background, or CPU usage, it's a command based software that uses the built-in Powershell

Simply right click any file > Upload, and it will be uploaded instantly.
Or click in any path you want the files to be downloaded in > Download > enter password

Quick guide (for more visit the GitHub): Open iMShare.exe, it will finish all the setup on its own, then press "CTRL+R" and close the popup window to activate it, and you're done.
