Stop manually typing the same things over and over during your workday, such as your company email address, phone number, or canned responses to customers. Text can be typed from hotkeys or shortcut text (for example, type "dsm" to expand it to "Dear Sir/Madam" instead). Auto-typing removes the risk of embarrassing typos to your important clients, and also helps prevent Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI).
Easily create automated actions that are triggered from a hotkey or other events, such as when the time or clipboard changes, when a system notification has specific text, when a window opens, and more. Auto-fill equations into docs without opening the Calculator, or move all windows in unison to get more desktop space. Make your PC act in ways that you never thought possible, and all without the complicated and messy coding of bloated overrated products like AutoHotkey.
We all know that sinking feeling when accidentally copying something new to the clipboard and losing vital text that we still needed there. Well, never lose that important text again! Once text or an image is copied to the clipboard, you can always get them back again at any time, including after a reboot or when starting a new work day. The amount of remembered items is unlimited, and you can modify clipboard text in various ways (such as to change to "Title Case").
Browse a calendar by multiple months for quick reference; calculate days between dates, create countdowns, and set reminders and scheduled tasks to do things like run DOS commands or automated actions when you choose. With AlomWare Toolbox, you can kiss the extremely complicated and confusing Windows Task Scheduler goodbye!
Do things such as locking your PC but still view the desktop, hear typewriter sounds while typing, see the Caps Lock state in the system tray (perfect for laptops!), auto-move the taskbar to prevent burn-in on OLED monitors, see which app windows were run as admin, access the old Control Panel, and more.
Make your apps auto-open their windows exactly how you like: their size, position (even on multiple monitors), whether they stay on top of all others, their transparency level, volume level, etc. Prevent focus stealing, roll them up to their title bar, and make your PC do something when a window closes.
Automatically back up files that you open with AlomWare Toolbox so you can revert back at any time. Bulk rename files with easy scripts that can be saved for future use. Search folders with English-like phrases. Monitor a folder in real-time to see files that get added, deleted, renamed, and modified.
In addition to clipboard tracking, the Map tab lets you keep track of which apps, documents, files, and folders* you've opened. This makes it very simple to re-open them again when the need arises. Gone are the days of closing a folder accidentally and manually navigating back to it!
* Folders on Windows 11 may require a cosmetic system setting to be applied.
The Work Overview window is a live thumbnail strip of all open windows on your PC, so you can keep track of what's going on without needing to Alt+Tab or move/minimize any. The size of the thumbnails can be changed, and you can filter them by window title or app type. The ability to see all of your windows in real-time without any of them ever getting in the way is an absolute game-changer for your productivity!
Save the way things are open and running on your PC: your apps and their window sizes/positions, the clipboard text, the desktop size and icon layouts, the volume level, etc; and then restore it all later with just two clicks. See our video ↗. Switching workflows during your day has never been so easy!
Pressing the PrintScreen key saves a screenshot but unlike other apps, AlomWare Toolbox also saves the URL of websites so you can re-open them later. Screenshots of apps, docs and folder also saves their location for re-opening later. Search screenshots by their title or even from the text in them using OCR. Auto-screenshots of system notifications is also possible, so you'll never miss one if you're not present at the time.
The Misc tab lets you browse fonts with any text you like, and has a desktop info feature (with zoom) for showing the text under the mouse, a color picker in various formats such as HTML and CMYK, and info for the window under the mouse such as its title, class, handle, width, height, and more. All stats are copyable to the clipboard, and unlike other apps the info doesn't close if you need to click the mouse.
