Boosting the productivity of smart PC users since 2022
Make your PC do things your way!
AlomWare Toolbox. Version 9.0.0.3 for 64-bit versions of Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11. Primarily English. AlomWare Toolbox puts powerful system automation, window management, clipboard history, text expansion, PC states, reminders and more in one single tiny portable exe file. No installation, no account, no AI, no telemetry. 100% safe.
One app. Many jobs. Make things easy on yourself.
Less repetition and fiddling.
More getting things done.
Smart people know that improving their productivity comes with using the right tools. AlomWare Toolbox combines practical tweaks with simple automation, so you can turn repetitive PC tasks into hotkeys and automated actions. Make the one-time investment to streamline your workload today!
Auto-typing and text expansion
Type a short trigger text and AlomWare Toolbox can auto-expand it to type your email address, canned responses, logins, and other text. Hotkeys can be used to type dynamic text, like the date.
Clipboard history
Keep a history of copied text and images so it's available again when needed. Convert clipboard text to other formats or clean it up. There are privacy options to exclude specific text and apps.
PC states
Save the way your current apps and windows are arranged (and optionally the desktop size and its icons, the sound volume, clipboard text, etc) and restore that environment later. Watch video.
Reminders & tasks
Use the "Calendar" tab to browse dates, create reminders and scheduled tasks, see countdowns, and do date calculations. All so much easier than using the Windows "Task Schedular".
Window control
Make windows auto-open the way you set them, create zones, keep windows on top, roll them up to their title bar, dock them together, dim them, freeze the focus to prevent stealing, and more.
Plus more! AlomWare Toolbox helps you with:
Work overview: See a real-time thumbnail overview of all your open windows.
Caps Lock indicator: See the Caps Lock state at all times (perfect for laptops!).
Admin window detection: See which apps were run as admin for easy identification.
Bulk file renaming: Rename multiple files quickly and easily with scripts for re-use.
Color picker and OCR text capture: Pick colors and copy text directly from your desktop.
Lock PC but keep desktop visible: Lock your PC while still being able to see the desktop.
Typewriter sounds: Hear mechanical typewriter sounds while typing for feedback accuracy.
Taskbar auto-move: Automatically move the taskbar around to prevent OLED monitor burn-in.
Classic Control Panel: Quickly access the old Windows Control Panel items from within the app.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the PC specs needed to run AlomWare Toolbox?
AlomWare Toolbox requires a 64-bit version of Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11. Admin rights are optional, but allow more control of your PC if the app is run that way. English is the only supported lanugage as the app uses an insane amount of in-app text, but the app's main window elements do support other languages by copying and editing the "Toolbox Languages > English.ini" file. There are both English and Spanish INI files ready for use when the app first runs.
Why is AlomWare Toolbox better than AutoHotkey?
AutoHotkey is a full text-based programming language, and is therefore not easy for beginners to use. It also risks you getting banned if its use is detected when using it with your online games. Why risk your gaming purchases by using AutoHotkey? AlomWare Toolbox is more of a lightweight scripting tool and won't get you banned when using it for gaming.
So, let's compare AutoHotkey and AlomWare Toolbox with them each doing the same function to see the difference. In the image below, we see both apps launching the Windows Calculator, moving it to the bottom-right of the desktop, and setting its transparency to 75%. As shown, AlomWare Toolbox is far more simpler to understand and use. You can read more about the below comparison at our forum discussion (which explains the "numpad3" text).
Why is AlomWare Toolbox better than Microsoft PowerToys?
Microsoft PowerToys is a set of various PC tweaks and functions to enhance your PC. This is similar to AlomWare Toolbox, however PowerToys is not customizable like Toolbox. You can only use PowerToys for what it offers built-in, as it has no scripting functionality of its own. AlomWare Toolbox can be expanded with new features all the time (it's future-proof).
The other two major differences between PowerToys and AlomWare Toolbox is that PowerToys needs to be installed on the target PC (which requires administrator rights to do so) and the initial installed folder size is a whopping 985 MB (almost 1 GB!). In contrast, AlomWare Toolbox doesn't require any installation at all because it's a single portable exe file, and its initial folder size is under 4 MB. There's no bloated wasting of your limited hard drive space!
Lastly, anything you meticulously set up with PowerToys is for use on that specific PC alone and can't be used on any others; whereas AlomWare Toolbox can be stored and run from a USB stick so you can use your custom automated actions, auto-typing, clipboard history, and window arrangements (plus more) on any PC that you use.

App Safety
AlomWare Toolbox has no malware or spyware (see VirusTotal for proof) and has also been certified "100% Clean" by Softpedia. You can read positive reviews on Trustpilot from satisfied customers. We wouldn't be around since 2022 if we were untrustworthy.
Due to the app being able to auto-type things for you, remember the clipboard text, move and size your windows, etc; you should whitelist the unzipped folder (not the "Toolbox.exe" file) in your anti-virus app to prevent it quarantining/blocking the app.
AlomWare Toolbox is regularly updated, meaning that you might get this warning about an unknown app being started. Click "More info" and then "Run anyway" to acknowledge the warning and allow the app to run. You'll only be asked this once.
