Reviewed Browser Operator★★★★Trying Browser Operator as an alternative to Kimi. Unlike Kimi, you need to supply an agent. I chose Groq first time -mistake- terribly slow. OpenRouter is working much better. On a free level, Kimi tends to be busy a lot. Browser Operator may make a nice alternative. Haven't put it through a lot of testing yet, but getting it set up, and changed was a bit more of a challenge than with Kimi.. may be worth it though.

Reviewed ZoogVPN★★★★★Zoog seems to be a great VPN, especially for a browser extension.
Reviewed WhoCrashed★★★★★WhoCrashed is much lighter than the modern Microsoft Store version of WinDbg, which is itself much lighter than installing the full Windows SDK with debugging tools.

Reviewed Maxisnap★★★★★I just started using Maxisnap, and I'm already impressed with its ability to capture live scrolling chats. It's the best program I know of.

Reviewed Free Video Flip and Rotate★Bundleware warning aside, it didn't work. I recommend: Free Video Rotator
Reviewed EpicPencil★★★★★Works nicely. Can save via Screenshot, but doesn't save Sessions.
Reviewed Free Video Rotator★★★★★The only fast-copy style free video rotator desktop app I could find. Lightweight and works great! Saves lots of time vs encoding. Thanks to the author :-)
Reviewed Avidemux★★★★★Avidemux and LosslessCut are 2 great FOSS video editting programs that I use for speed and lightness. They will both clip videos using copy/ remuxing quickly vs having to do slow encoding. Avidemux's 38mb intallation is a lot lighter than Davinci's 3gb+. Avidemux can encode videos toward a specified target file size, in case you want to stay under 500mb, etc. You can also compress with H.264 encoding, and adjusting CRF(Constant Rate Factor) Avidemux has numerous filters available including a...
Commented on VidShrinkLooks great, but it's having installation issues on my Win 10.
Commented on Gihosoft Free Video CutterIf you're looking for simple beginning and ending fast cropping and don't mind a little fuddling with viewing vs being able to speed thru the vid, Gihosoft may be the way to go. If you want multiple cropping points, Avidemux or Lossless Cut may be the next choice. Lossless Cut if you want speed viewing and/or fast Rotate, and Avidemux if you want more filters.
Reviewed Skales★★★As a local-first desktop AI agent, Skales needs a model provider before it becomes useful. For free use, that means either running a fairly heavyweight local model through something like Ollama—which I’m not particularly fond of—or creating and configuring API keys for third-party cloud providers and their free tiers. Skales does offer its own no-key cloud option, Skales IQ, but I didn’t find that trial option surfaced clearly or quickly during setup.
