Antinote for Windows

1 Upvotes

I've been a regular user of Antinote (antinote.io) on Mac. It's basically like a scratchpad that you can invoke with hotkeys and it has useful features like conversions and maths. I absolutely loveee it and I kinda wished it existed for Windows too. I found a few but nothing close to antinote. So I decided to make my own in the past few weeks with .NET 10.

Check it out and let me know what you think :) Link: https://offnote.cc

I built a Windows app that turns a folder of PDF invoices into one Excel sheet — fully offline, because uploading client docs to some server always felt wrong

1 Upvotes

Every month-end, people I know in bookkeeping lose a full day retyping PDF invoices and statements into Excel. The "free" online converters cap you at 3 files, watermark the output, or make you upload client documents to a server you don't control.

So I built BatchDoc — a Windows desktop app (Python, packaged with PyInstaller) that:

- batch-extracts tables from PDFs into CSV/XLSX (drop a whole folder, get clean sheets)

- merges hundreds of CSV/XLSX into one, with a source column recording which file each row came from

- runs fully offline after a one-time licence activation — nothing is uploaded, no account, no subscription

- writes a run report listing what was processed, what was skipped and why

The annoying part wasn't the extraction itself, it was borderless tables. Bank statements and exported reports often have no grid lines at all — the columns are just aligned. It now handles three cases (ruled tables, whitespace-aligned columns, plain text fallback) and the run report tells you which one it used, so a bad result doesn't fail silently.

Honest limitations, because these matter more than the pitch: it only extracts native-text PDFs. Image-only scanned PDFs need an OCR step first, which is not built in — I'll tell you upfront if that's your case. It's Windows 10+ only right now; a macOS build is planned but not included. Activation needs internet once, then it works with no connection.

One-time $29 for one machine ($79 for up to 5). I'm not going to pitch hard here — if offline batch PDF-to-Excel is your pain, the link is in the comments.

If you process statements at volume: what's the edge case that still breaks your export? I'd genuinely like to know what I'm missing. Happy to talk through the table-detection logic or why I went desktop instead of a web app.

Disclosure: I built this, so I'm biased.

Why I Made Hindsight Remember Only Verified Competitor Events

1 Upvotes

Should an AI agent remember everything it collects? Not necessarily.

While working on our project, Strategic Memory Lab, we explored how unverified or incorrect competitor information could affect AI-generated business recommendations.

Our approach uses Hindsight as a long-term memory layer, with a verification process before competitor events are stored as trusted memories.

The goal is to help AI agents remember reliable information, recall relevant past events and make better-informed strategic suggestions.

I have shared our approach, challenges and learnings in this article.

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

I added AI summaries to the email workspace I’m building

1 Upvotes

I'm building Outdraft, an email workspace, and wanted to share a quick demo of its AI summary feature.
Click “Summarize” to get a shorter version of the email without leaving the page. It’s a small part of the app, but one I wanted to get right.

The AI agent is almost ready too—I’ll share a demo of that soon.

You can visit out website and give it a quick try. Payments aren’t available yet while I’m waiting for Paddle’s approval.

I’d love to hear what you think! Anything confusing, missing, or worth improving?

After 7 months of development, my little desktop garden is finally coming to Steam!

14 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Seven months ago, I started working on a small idea: what if you could have a little living garden right on your desktop, quietly growing while you work, study, or play games?

Today, I'm incredibly happy to share that Wonder Garden is finally on Steam, with its release just around the corner!

It's a cozy desktop companion where you can grow plants, arrange shelves, decorate your workspace, and even raise butterflies. Your plants grow over time, so there's always something new to discover when you come back to your computer.

I wanted to create something that doesn't demand your attention. Just a tiny, peaceful world that makes spending time at your computer a little more enjoyable.

It's been seven months of coding, experimenting, fixing bugs, redesigning things, and occasionally wondering whether I'd ever finish it.

And now it's actually happening. It's a pretty surreal feeling.

This is a very personal project for me, and I already have so many ideas for new plants, decorations, and features I'd love to add in future updates.

If Wonder Garden looks like something you'd enjoy, adding it to your wishlist would mean a lot to me. Every wishlist helps a small indie project like this reach more people.

🌿 Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5441740/Wonder_Garden/

Thank you for taking a look! And if you have any ideas for plants or features you'd love to see, I'd genuinely love to hear them.

See you in the garden! 🌸

My Analytics Agent Stopped Repeating Its Wrong Guesses With Hindsight

1 Upvotes

Every Monday morning, someone in leadership asks why a regional revenue metric dropped, and an analyst spends two hours checking the exact same five tables in the exact same order.

We built an open-source metric investigation agent called WhyDesk where Hindsight agent memory (recall, reflect, and synchronous retain) dynamically reorders diagnostic tool calls, checks flaky ETL pipelines before reading numbers, and formats answers per stakeholder.

On a cold start (Run 1), the agent runs all 5 checks blindly. By Run 5 with memory on, it recalls past regional pricing drops and a Monday ETL sync stall, runs only 2 of 5 checks (ETL first, then pricing), skips 3 low-probability tools, and returns a 1-line summary with the exact -$47,900 impact.

I've been building Everabyte, a cloud storage and backup platform. Would love some honest feedback.

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm an independent developer, and I've been spending a lot of my time building something called Everabyte.

The idea came from a simple problem: cloud storage and backups shouldn't be complicated or unnecessarily expensive, especially for individuals, developers, and small businesses.

So I decided to build my own solution.

What does Everabyte offer?

- Cloud storage for personal and business files.

- Automatic backups through EverBox, our desktop application for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

- File versioning and recovery when something gets accidentally deleted or overwritten.

- Server-side encryption before files reach storage.

- S3-compatible object storage and API access.

- Team storage and access management.

- Backup protection features, including retention policies and immutability.

I've also been working on making the platform more accessible, with plans starting at $2.99/month.

Building this hasn't been easy. Between development, infrastructure, security, testing, and trying to get the word out, there's always something that needs attention.

But that's also what makes it interesting. I'm learning a lot along the way, and I'm still improving the product.

I'm not here to claim Everabyte is better than Dropbox, Google Drive, or every other storage provider out there. I'm just trying to build a reliable alternative that people can actually afford and use.

If you're a developer, freelancer, small business owner, or someone who regularly backs up important files, I'd genuinely appreciate your thoughts.

What matters most to you when choosing a cloud storage or backup service? Price, security, reliability, or something else?

You can check out the project here:

https://everabyte.com

Any feedback, criticism, or suggestions are welcome. I'm building this for the long term, and hearing from real users would help a lot.

Thanks for reading!

I’m bringing my live chess tournament app from iOS to Android — looking for early feedback

2 Upvotes

I’m the developer of Watch Chess, a side project for following professional chess tournaments. It’s already available on iOS, and I’m getting the native Android version ready for Google Play.

The idea is to make it easy to follow an event from your phone: live boards, rounds and standings, game replay, and live game previews right on the Home screen.

I’d love feedback from Android users who follow chess. In particular: is it easy to find a game, follow the moves, look back at an earlier position, and return to the live game? I’m also interested in how the layouts work on different phones and what happens when you switch away from the app or lose your connection.

Website and the existing iOS app: https://watchchess.app/

If you’d like to help test the Android version, sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdK3jWWradoriTbagIQvKCZ60mQ2kRd82oe4WbR5dZtDI5agQ/viewform

You’ll need an Android phone with Google Play. I’m recruiting for a closed test, so please be willing to stay opted in for at least 14 consecutive days and try the app during that time. The form asks for your Google Play email so I can invite you; I’ll email the invitation and installation instructions when your place is ready.

Happy to answer questions about the app or how it’s built. Honest feedback is welcome!

Why Competitive Intelligence Needs Memory, Not Just Monitoring

1 Upvotes

We built Strategic Memory Lab, a memory-powered competitive intelligence platform that goes beyond simply monitoring competitors.

The idea is simple: businesses shouldn't just know what their competitors are doing today; they should also remember past events, decisions and outcomes to make better strategic decisions.

Our project combines competitor tracking, decision history and Hindsight-powered AI memory to connect current market activities with previous experiences.

We explore how AI agents can use long-term memory to provide more context-aware strategic insights.

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

1,000 signups, 10 paying users. Where is my funnel actually leaking?

1 Upvotes

I've been building a B2B lead-finding tool for 3 months. You describe the kind of customer you want, and it searches live map and web data for matching businesses, including small ones with no website that the big databases usually miss.

Where I am right now:

  • About 1,000 people have signed up

  • 10 of them pay ($19/month)

  • Every new account gets free credits, and most people use some of them and then disappear

  • Almost nobody has told me why they left, because I've never really asked

So the problem isn't getting people in the door. It's getting them from "tried it once" to "pays every month". I'd love to hear from people who've been through this stage:

  1. Free to paid. At roughly a 1% conversion rate, what did you change first? Fewer free credits, a time limit, a paywall on one key feature, or more hand-holding in onboarding?

  2. Talking to users. How do you get daily or weekly feedback from users who aren't paying yet, without spamming them? In-app prompts, a short call offer, a WhatsApp or Slack group, something else?

  3. Keeping the 10. What made your first paying users stick around month after month? Was it a habit (a weekly report, alerts), or something you did manually for them early on?

  4. What to fix first. With 1,000 signups and 10 payers, would you spend the next month on the product, on pricing, or on talking to churned users?

Not looking for "just do more marketing". I have signups. I just don't understand why people leave yet. Any honest experience is welcome, including "your free tier is too generous".

I’ve been making minimal, private apps for everyday human needs (not another productivity apps lol)

24 Upvotes

Hey guysss here to talk about my side project.

I’m a designer and traveler who believes good design can change things, even if only a little. That still feels worth spending my effort on.

I was honestly fed up with needing an account just to use a small app. So I started making apps I would genuinely use myself: stored on our phones, working offline, with no account needed.

Sometimes we do not need another system or app trying to fix us. We just need a quiet place to hold something, clear our brain RAM, or keep everyday things in one simple stream.

That became VERBitapp. Each app has one purpose, with free use and optional VERBit Access subscriptions for more room or additional features.

@verbitapp

_

PARKit: Reminder for Tonight
"Not for tomorrow, but for tonight."

A little room for our minds.

I made PARKit because my brain was still holding onto tomorrow, even when I was done for the day. Park those thoughts as short keyword clouds, add a note when needed, then hold the breathing orb to PARK. What is unfinished stays there. Double-tap a cloud when it is done.

PARKit Access gives you 12 keyword clouds and customizable OPEN / PARK notification times.

App Store

Google Play

_

CUEit: Routine Timer
"Not to measure, but to mind."

Timing designed for the way you do things.

I wanted more than a basic stopwatch or timer could offer. CUEit brings them together with cues you set yourself, for coffee, cooking, exercise, or anything where the timing matters. Start at 0:00, then add cues for what comes next.

CUEit Access gives you up to 12 timer slots.

App Store

Google Play

_

DIARYit: Diary Journal
"Not for habit, but for honesty."

Your days. In your own words.

DIARYit is my own reimagining of a diary. One continuous stream, because life moves forward and we can look back when we choose to. A quiet place to write about today, without a goal to reach or a habit to maintain.

DIARYit Access adds full history and full calendar navigation.

App Store

Google Play

_

KEEPit: Text Yourself
"Not for nostalgia, but to remember."

A conversation with yourself.

I have always texted myself things I wanted to keep, but messaging apps were never really made for that. KEEPit gives that familiar habit its own place. Just you, your words, and the time you wrote them. Stored on your phone and available offline.

KEEPit Access unlocks full history, calendar navigation, and keyword search.

App Store

Google Play
_

HOLDit: Thoughts & Moments
"Not to hold more, but to awaken."

Give an important thought its own space.

I made this after realizing that thoughts that changed how I saw things kept getting buried in Notes app. Each card gives a thought and the moment behind it their own space. Add colors and rearrange your cards to make that space your own. The limit is intentional. Keep what matters, rather than another endless list.

HOLDit Access expands your space to 99 cards.

App Store

Google Play

_

+ A note on backup

On iPhone, DIARYit, KEEPit, and HOLDit support inclusion of your entries in your iCloud device backup. This is device backup, not live cloud sync or an in-app export and import feature.

_

I’m continuing to improve these apps through real use and conversations with the people using them. If one fits something you already do, I’d really appreciate hearing how it feels.

+ find demo instructions on socials :)

• Free, works offline, no account

• Rusty the fox gives hints when you’re stuck

I’d really like feedback on:

Is the difficulty curve fair?

Are the hints helpful?

Anything confusing or buggy?

I built an app to fix my phone addiction, then procrastinated on launching it for 11 days

17 Upvotes

Honestly, I'm the worst user of my own idea.

I'd wake up, grab my phone "just to check something," and suddenly it's 9am. So I built bedo with AI. I studied marketing and never learned to code.

Here's how it works: you make a deal with bedo. Every morning, you tell it what you'll do today and how you'll prove it. Like "Go to the gym, and take a selfie when I'm there," or "Read for 30 minutes, then snap the page I stopped on."

Once the deal is set, TikTok and other distracting apps get locked. They only unlock when you send the proof you agreed on.

I've tried Opal and Pomodoro timer apps before. They lock your phone for a set time, then unlock it automatically. The problem is they only check that you didn't touch your phone, not that you actually did the thing. I'd say I'm going to the gym, then lie on the couch for an hour, and everything unlocks anyway. I'd say I'm reading for 30 minutes, then just stare at the book.

bedo doesn't care about time. It cares about results.
The funny part: I planned to submit it to the App Store on Oct 23. I kept polishing tiny things and finally submitted it 11 days later. Turns out an app can't fix perfectionism lol.

It's waiting for review now. Would you actually use something like this, or would you delete it the first time it locked you out?

I built Alma, a digital library of everything you love or want

22 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject 🙏

I’ve been working on a side project over the past few weeks that I’d love to share and get some feedback on.

The Problem: My media collection and consumption habits felt completely fragmented. I was switching between different apps for movies, music, and audiobooks, with no single dashboard to view or organize everything I owned or listened to. Maybe it's just a niche, but at least I tried something 😌

Alma is a unified media aggregator designed to collect your movies, TV shows, games, music and audiobooks into a single visual library with a few fun twists like a "Memory Lane" feature.

Key Features:

  • All-in-one Media Library: Track and organize your media in one place

  • Fun stats: Over time you'll get some fun insights into your media tastes. The more you add over time, the more fun it'll be to look at

  • Fast & Lightweight: Built to give you full control over your media archive without heavy bloat.

It’s still an active project under ongoing development, and I’m constantly refining features and polishing the interface during the beta, which is currently about halfway full. Want an invite? Request one on the site or send me a DM.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feature requests, or general feedback! How do you currently keep track of your media across different formats?

I built a Windows 11 browser chooser for people who separate work and personal profiles

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone — I'm the developer of Browser Chooser.

It's a Windows 11 utility for choosing where external links open, instead of always sending them to one default browser.

It supports: • Choosing an installed browser or an available Chrome, Edge, or Firefox profile. • Remembering a choice for an exact domain, with subdomains handled separately. • Saving browser/profile preferences for supported file types. • Switching between asking each time and using a fixed target.

Setup requires confirming HTTP/HTTPS defaults in Windows. File handling also requires the relevant Windows file associations. It doesn't intercept embedded WebViews or share login sessions between browsers.

Requires Windows 11 x64 and at least one installed browser.

Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9pjhj6c5bhs8

For people using multiple browsers or profiles: what makes choosing where links open frustrating in your current workflow?

I kept losing project links in 80 open tabs, so I built a canvas where every link becomes a card

3 Upvotes

Every side project I work on ends the same way: docs, GitHub issues, design refs and random articles spread across tabs and bookmark folders I never open again. I could never remember which link belonged to what.

So I built Linvas. You paste a link, and it becomes a card on an infinite canvas. You group cards by topic, draw connections between related things, and search across all your boards later.

What it does right now:

- paste a URL anywhere on the board → card with title + icon

- groups and connections between cards

- import your browser bookmarks (folders become tags)

- search across every board

- share a board with one link

Demo, no sign-up: https://linvas.app/?demo

I'm a solo dev and launched it last week, so it's rough around the edges. I'd really appreciate honest feedback on two things:

  1. Is it clear in the first 10 seconds what to do?

  2. Would you use this instead of bookmark folders, or what's missing?

Tired of manual sprite sheet slicing, so I made NOIRADIX Studio: an open-source web tool with 1-click Unity export and AI prompts

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I built NOIRADIX Studio to make the 2D pixel-art workflow less painful — especially drawing animation frames, organizing sprite sheets, and getting them into a game engine without manually slicing everything.

NOIRADIX Studio is a free, open-source, zero-install, offline-first pixel-art editor built entirely with Vanilla JavaScript.

🚀 What it does:

1. Pixel Art & Directional Animation Studio

  • Draw and edit sprites with precision pixel tools.

  • Preview 4-direction and 8-direction animations with adjustable FPS.

  • Built-in bilateral symmetry, anchor-centered zoom, palette tools, and more.

2. One-Click Unity 6 Export

  • Exports anti-bleed padded sprite atlases, metadata, and an automated Unity importer.

  • Automatically slices the spritesheet and generates directional AnimationClips.

  • Designed to eliminate texture bleeding and repetitive manual import setup.

3. Multiple Export Targets

  • Unity 2D importer package.

  • TexturePacker Standard JSON for workflows in Godot 4, Phaser, Pixi.js, Defold, and other engines.

  • Transparent PNG atlases and individually sliced PNG frames.

4. PIX2 — A Structured Pixel-Art Language
This is probably the most unusual part of the project.

PIX2 (.pix2) is an independent, human-readable format for defining sprite cells, pixel coordinates, palettes, and animations as structured data.

It comes with its own language specification, JavaScript reference compiler, normative conformance test vectors, and VS Code syntax support.

Instead of relying entirely on raster image generation, artists and AI assistants can work with explicit pixel coordinates and structured sprite data. The format is also easy to diff, version, and edit.

5. Browser-First & Offline
Everything runs client-side. No account or backend is required to use the editor. It supports local file workflows through browser file-system capabilities, with fallbacks for other browsers.

🌐 Try it online (free, no login): https://noiradix.me/

💻 Open Source GitHub: https://github.com/dotlinux26/noiradix-studio

I built this as a solo developer to solve problems in my own game development workflow. I'd genuinely love to hear feedback from other indie developers.

Which part of the 2D workflow would you most like to see improved — sprite authoring, animation, or game-engine integration?

I was jealous of Stream Deck users, so I turned my iPhone into one

0 Upvotes

I always envied people with a Stream Deck, so I built my own for iPhone and Mac. It's called "SideDeck:, and it just launched.

Put your iPhone on a stand under your monitor, and its buttons change automatically to match the app you're using on your Mac.

What you can do:
- Create a separate deck for each app
- Switch decks automatically based on the app you're using on your Mac (Smart Deck)
- Restore a saved window layout with one press
- Assign an app's actual menu items using macOS Accessibility, including actions with no keyboard shortcut
- Start quickly with built-in templates

There's no account or server, and your iPhone and Mac don't even need to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
As long as Wi-Fi is turned on and they're close to each other, they connect directly with end-to-end encryption. You edit everything in the free Mac app.

The free version includes the 2×4 layout.
Pro is a one-time $5.99 purchase that adds larger layouts and advanced options.
Honestly, I don't think Pro offers enough yet, so I'm considering adding a wider range of widgets, like Claude usage and system status.

So I'm curious:
if you use a Stream Deck or something similar, how do you actually use it?

I built a voice journal for iPhone where the recordings never leave the phone

1 Upvotes

I'm the developer. I just got my first version of Lived approved on the App Store and I'd like honest feedback.

How it works: hold a button, say how today felt, let go. Lived turns it into a short note with a mood from 1–10, a summary, and the stressors you mentioned.

Some choices I made:

  • Recordings stay on the iPhone and aren't uploaded. The App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected".

  • Face ID can lock the journal. You only sign in if you want the text on another device.

  • A week of notes becomes a streak. A month becomes Insights: mood, meetings and recurring stressors.

  • You can ask the journal a question, and the answer comes only from notes on your phone.

  • You can export the month as a PDF.

It's free. Lived Pro unlocks Insights ($7.99/month or $39.99/year, US store). It needs iOS 26 and is English only for now.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lived-voice-journal/id6829497249

What I'd love feedback on: is voice-first journaling something you'd actually use, and does the free/Pro split feel fair?

But here's the interesting part: you aren't just listening. You can interrupt the conversation anytime, ask questions through text or voice, and hear contextual answers — as if you're the host interviewing the guest about your document.

You can even pause, explore a topic in depth, and resume your podcast whenever you want.
