SHA-256 hashes are used to verify that a file hasn't been hacked or tampered with since publication.

If you received AlomWare Toolbox from any place other than AlomWare.com, then please compare the unzipped "Toolbox.exe" file version's hash with any online SHA-256 scanner to ensure it matches the hash published on this web page. It must be an exact match to be safe for use.

If it doesn't match, you should immediately delete it and download it fresh from AlomWare.com instead.

The Command Box, used for entering pre-set commands to do something quickly such as calculations, setting reminders, running a DOS command, terminating a process without needing to open the Windows Task Manager, etc.

Next to the Command Box is information about the text in it. By default, this shows the number of characters typed into it, but if you end the Command Box with an equals sign (=) then it's considered to be an equation and the result is shown here instead. Handy for quick maths without opening the Calculator!

The Password button for specifying a temporary password for this AlomWare Toolbox session. It's not saved anywhere and is lost when you quit the app or when you click the button a second time. The password entered here is used for encrypting and decrypting private text in your Notes and Automation steps.

The above is literally just the tip of the iceberg. Please see our Solutions page for a longer list of how AlomWare Toolbox will improve your productivity immediately to make you work smarter (not harder) than ever before. We know you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Best of all: AlomWare Toolbox is always FREE for casual use in repeatable five-hourly sessions with no sign-up, no account creation, and no credit card. Optional: Buying a one-year unlock code (per PC) gets you no session limits for full uninterrupted use and technical support.

Hover (or click) your mouse over the yellow buttons to read about each item:

Your privacy with AlomWare Toolbox. AlomWare Toolbox respects your privacy and has settings where you decide what the app remembers. For example, the app has a clipboard history feature but you might not want to use this. Just disable it in Settings, or specify partial black-listed text that will never be saved. The app never accesses the internet behind your back, but for those who don't know or trust us yet, you can always block the app with a firewall

for your own peace of mind.

This is where you choose what the app remembers.

Easily opt-out of everything that the app remembers.

You can tell the app which clipboard text to never save to its history.

AlomWare Toolbox is portable. Unlike some other apps, AlomWare Toolbox does not need any installation or setup to be used, and neither does it require you to download any supporting frameworks like .NET or Java. You simply unzip the download

and double-click the "Toolbox.exe" file to start using it. Even better: if you unzip it to an external drive or USB stick, then all data used by the app will not be lost when you reinstall Windows®, and will also be available to use on any PC that you plug the external drive or USB stick into. Think about it: all your reminders, notes, and automated actions will be with you wherever you go - without needing an internet connection! (Note: If used on a PC that you haven't unlocked, the app will still run in free repeatable five-hourly sessions by entering a free-use code).

Windows® tweaks. AlomWare Toolbox has a variety of tweaks for Windows®, such as: stopping removable drives from going to sleep; having a transparent taskbar; shifting the taskbar to prevent monitor burn-in (a nice alternative to auto-hiding it); keeping the Num Lock key on at all times; showing the Caps Lock status in the system tray; hearing typewriter sounds while you type; letting you specify where toast notifications appear on the desktop (instead of defaulting to the bottom-right corner); and much more. None of these tweaks are permanent and don't change your PC or Registry to apply them, and they will stop when you quit the app.

Tweaks for your PC's clipboard and keyboard.

Tweaks for how new windows should be opened.

Tweaks for item transparency and notifications position.

PC overview. AlomWare Toolbox has a productivity-boosting "PC overview" feature that shows all open windows (and folders) on your desktop as a live thumbnail strip. This means you can keep an eye over everything running on your PC at all times, without having to switch windows, move them, or minimize them. Even maximized windows will no longer block you from seeing what's happening at any time. Clicking a thumbnail will bring its window to the front, similar to the Windows® taskbar but with the benefit of real-time imagery! You can right-click any thumbnail to apply actions to its window, such as keeping it on top, transparent, minimizing it to the System Tray, freezing the focus to it, and so on. When your work is done, you can even close all open windows (and/or folders) with just two clicks!

The PC overview window (bottom-left) showing all open windows as live thumbnails in real-time. Easy monitoring without moving or minimizing anything!

Right-clicking an overview thumbnail will open a menu of options for that thumbnail, such as staying on top, transparency, etc.

Settings for the PC overview window.

Clean-slate your PC session. Once you're done working on a project or task and need to move onto another, wouldn't it be great to "clean slate" your PC back to a boot-like state? Just press the hotkey of Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Del at any time to "reboot" your PC without the wait (similar to the "three-finger salute" of DOS-based computers). This hotkey makes AlomWare Toolbox quickly close all open windows and apps, clear the clipboard, kill the processes of your choice, free unused memory (RAM), and reset other PC settings to their default state. This function is perfect for recovering control of your PC when it has "locked up" or "frozen".

Your PC is littered with running processes (72 in the Task Manager), but you want to close everything.

Press the hotkey of Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Del to quickly close all open apps and windows automatically!

Just like that: they're all gone and your PC is lean again! Let's check the Task Manager (next slide).

The Task Manager now has only 48 (essential) processes running, and your PC is like when booted.

You can choose what else to do when clean-slating your PC.

The Power menu for apps. Take control of your windows! When you middle-click the icon area of any window, the Power menu appears so you can do something to it or its app. The usual handy things are there such as making that window stay on top of all others, minimizing it to the system tray, and setting its transparency. AlomWare Toolbox also gives you advanced features like: creating an automated action to open that app or document; changing it to a small on-top thumbnail view; freezing the focus to it so other apps can't switch you out of it; force quitting the window's app; and automatically doing something when the app or folder closes (such as shutting down your PC).

How to make a window always open the way you like (or not at all).

How to create an automated action to launch an app or document.

How to easily change the CPU priority of a running application.

How to dock the window to the next window you click.

How to keep a window locked to a position and size.

How to force quit an app (and optionally uninstall it at the same time).

How to make your PC do something when the window closes.

How to view useful Properties about an application.

The Power menu for folders. Similar to the above for apps: when you middle-click the icon area of any folder, the Power menu appears so you can conveniently do something with that folder. The options are: bulk-renaming files with scripted rules; copying a list of files; opening a DOS prompt; creating multiple new sub-folders with specific names; searching files; and watching the folder for changes.

How to copy a list of files in a folder to the clipboard.

How to create multiple new folders in a folder.

How to automatically shut down your PC after a long file copy.

The Calendar tab. The Calendar tab is where you have a multi-month calendar view, where you can click a date to get information related to that date; such as days away, working days away, weeks away, etc. You can also see at a glance how far away the end of month is, end of financial year is, and how far away some miscellaneous holiday dates are. There is also a Reminder panel in this tab, where you can set one-off or recurring reminders to either show a message, run a DOS command, run an automated action, or open a website.

The Calendar tab showing months (Christmas is selected and is 358 days away), and setting a yearly reminder at bottom-right.

Setting a recurring task (bottom-right area) to make your PC run a given DOS command every hour.

You can also set quick minute-based reminders in the Command Box (seen at top). Here, a 10-minute reminder is being set.

The Notes tab. The Notes tab is where you store no-fuss plain-text notes that can be searched for quick reference or copying. Notes can be fully or partially encrypted by clicking the Password icon at the top-right of AlomWare Toolbox's window. This password is not saved or sent anywhere and keeps your encrypted notes 100% safe from prying eyes. Notes can be optionally auto-saved every minute so they're safe if your PC shuts down or restarts unexpectedly.

Creating a new note. The second line is wrapped in {? and }, which means it can be encrypted with a password.

Click the Password icon and enter a password (or phrase) to encrypt all or part of a note. Don't forget the password!

Click the Password icon again to remove it, and the note encrypts the text because no password is now being used.

You can also right-click a selection of note text and choose "Encryption" to encrypt/decrypt that selection.

Right-clicking the list lets you create new notes; lock the selected items to prevent deletion; filter them by keyword; and so on.

Above the note list are A-Z buttons that show notes starting with that letter, for quick indexing as an alternative to filtering.

The Clipboard tab. The Clipboard tab is where AlomWare Toolbox remembers and stores your cut/copied plain text and images, for the purpose of you copying them back to the clipboard later. For example, if you've typed a lot of text into a web page and you don't want to lose that text if the page crashes, then you could copy the completed text first to make AlomWare Toolbox remember it. If the web page then crashes, you don't need to re-type it all again but instead just re-copy it back to the clipboard to paste into the page.

The Clipboard tab showing how copied text is stored in a history list. If privacy is a concern, the list can be disabled.

Multiple copies will store each new copy in a bulk "Session", to make building a list of separate texts easier for you.

Right-clicking the list lets you action an item; lock the selected items to prevent deletion; filter them by keyword; and so on.

When selecting "Action" after right-clicking a list item, you can choose an action that modifies it and copies the modification.

The result of right-clicking a list item, selecting "Action", and choosing "Case upper". The new upper-case text goes to the top.

The history of clipboard images. Right-click an image containing text and select "Copy text" to try and copy it.

The Screenshots tab. The Screenshots tab is where AlomWare Toolbox remembers and stores your screenshots made when you press the PrintScreen key, for the purpose of you viewing them for reference later, or copying back to the clipboard later. If you take a screenshot of a web page in a supported browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera) then the URL for that web page can be optionally remembered for the screenshot, so you can re-open that web page by double-clicking the screenshot's name in the list.

The Screenshot tab showing the MajorGeeks website. Double-clicking the shot name will open the website.

Right-clicking a screenshot shows various options, one of which is trying to copy any text using Windows® OCR technology.

You can rotate a screenshot in 90-degree increments by pressing the left and right arrow keys.

The Files -> Backup tab. The Files -> Backup tab lets you drag-and-drop files (up to 100 MB in size each) onto its Protected file list, so that whenever you double-click a file in that list in future, it is automatically backed-up before being opened for editing/viewing. This means you can make any changes you like and rest safe in the knowledge that whatever you do can be reverted at any time. And because AlomWare Toolbox is an automation app, you can assign the opening of your Protected files to a hotkey or other convenient action, so you don't need to show AlomWare Toolbox's window and switch to this tab to do it.

The Files -> Backup tab showing three protected files. The backups of each (and their age in days) are shown in the Version list.

Each backed-up version of a Protected file can have their own short description, to help you remember what you edited or did.

Backup sizes can add up quickly, so a button lets you delete all but the last 10 versions of each Protected file with two clicks.

The Files -> Search tab. The Files -> Search tab lets you search for files on your PC using a plain-English sentence composition, such as "Find all files larger than 1gb in C: and its subfolders". Searches can be done by type (docs, images, sounds, video, etc) and date range (today, yesterday, in the past week, close to, around, etc). Your search settings can be saved for future use, and searches are done in realtime (not cached) so that you always get the correct current results. A search button named "PC" lets you search all local drives on your PC at once by automatically stepping through drives A to Z in turn. Please note that searching for text inside files is only partially supported and will only match on plain unencrypted text seen in the file.

Showing the search results of files larger than 1 GB in the C: drive and its subfolders, but not includng its system folders.

Showing the search results of files ending in ".sys" in the C: drive and its subfolders. Green means the file was modified today.

Showing the search results of files dated close to 1 May 2021 (meaning a week before/after) in the C: drive and its subfolders.

The Files -> Rename tab. The Files -> Rename tab lets you bulk-rename files inside a folder using scripts that you compose from a list. Unlike other apps, AlomWare Toolbox's scripts are easy to understand and have a realtime preview of the changes so you can immediately see the effects on your files. Scripts can be saved for future use. Renaming can be done on either the entire filename, just the name part, or just the extension. You can also add or remove extensions if desired.

A rename script (the box at lower-left) that cleans up the names of AC/DC song titles. The script is run in top-down order.

A script renaming the photos to their EXIF date, inserting new text at the start, and changing the extension "jpeg" to "jpg".

This rename script to two-digit random numbers has an issue: "70.JPG" already exists. Press F5 to refresh with new numbers.

The Files -> Watch tab. The Files -> Watch tab lets you choose a folder to watch to see which files and folders get added, removed (including deletion), and renamed inside them. You can choose to watch all files, or specific types like docs, images, sounds, videos, etc. All changes are shown in realtime and can be handy to see what's going on in your folders. Note that to monitor your C: drive, you need to run AlomWare Toolbox with admin rights.

Trying to watch the C: drive, but AlomWare Toolbox is not running with admin rights.

Watching the D: drive and seeing a new folder created, renamed, and deleted (sent to the Recycle Bin).

Right-clicking the list lets you clear all or some items, copy the list to the clipboard, or save the list as a text file.

The Automation tab. The Automation tab lets you create automated actions that do things automatically on your PC, such as typing text or phrases, clicking items or areas of the desktop, launching apps, moving windows, modifying the clipboard text, and so on. If you need something done regularly that is repetitive or time-consuming, then creating an automated action will save your day!

This automated action slows down the current game by toggling its speed while a hotkey is held down.

The Action wizard lets you easily record your keystrokes and mouse clicks with its macro recorder for future playback from a hotkey or other trigger.

The Action wizard here is letting you choose one of many methods to auto-type text for you.

The States tab. The States tab solves one of the most annoying things about using your PC: setting up all your apps and their windows for use every day (or when just switching workflows). Wouldn't it be fantastic to just select a pre-saved state that did it all for you? With AlomWare Toolbox, you can! Once you've got everything set up the way you like (that is, your app window positions, clipboard text, desktop resolution, etc) just press both Ctrl and both Shift keys all together to take a "snapshot" of that state. AlomWare Toolbox will do its best to remember which apps are running and which windows are open and their attributes (such as on-top and transparency), and save that data as a "PC state". When you choose to restore that PC state later, AlomWare Toolbox will re-launch the apps and set their windows to their saved positions again, as well as (optionally) restoring the desktop resolution, desktop icon layout, clipboard text, and so on. The best way to understand this is to see it happening, so click the "Watch" button below to see a video of it in action.

Disclaimer: This feature is under constant revision due to the way Windows® updates and operates, and thus may not always be 100% effective. No app can ever totally restore your PC to the exact state it was before, but AlomWare Toolbox brings that experience very close and with as little effort by you as possible. We appreciate your understanding of this challenging task.

The States tab showing how you can clean-slate your PC, and how to restore PC states that you previously saved.

Editing a PC state to ensure all websites are restored, and that the order of relaunched apps and folders is correct.

The Misc and Log tabs. The Misc tab is used to zoom into your desktop and to browse your fonts. When zooming, you get detailed information about the item under the mouse, such as the pixel color in various formats (RGB, CMYK, HTML, etc) and the text and app underneath it. When browsing fonts, the default text is in QWERTY keyboard layout, so fonts like "Wingdings" will relate each character to its real keyboard key. Selecting text in the font box will show the keyboard text needed for it in the Status Bar.

The Log tab is used to show the output of DOS commands entered in the Command Box at the very top of the window, and to show messages from automated action steps that specifically output the messages there. It can also be used as an ad-hoc scratchpad to save the need to open Windows® Notepad or creating a new note in the app.

Thanks for your interest in AlomWare Toolbox!

Below is a just partial list of what AlomWare Toolbox can do to provide time-saving enhancements to your working day; some of which you may not have ever considered! This list is not exhaustive due to having too many solutions to mention, and new productivity-boosting features are added regularly. If a useful feature you need isn't available, the Automation tab of AlomWare Toolbox gives you the future-proof power to script your own helpful functions in a simple plain-English format that is easy to understand (see an example

What are the PC requirements to run AlomWare Toolbox?

AlomWare Toolbox requires Windows® 7 or later without admin rights, but running it as admin will give it more automation power over your PC (such as using it to watch your C: drive for changes, or to auto-type on admin-run app windows). It is a single zip file download for 64-bit PCs (32-bit is not supported), and needs less than 100 MB of disk space when first run. (Taking screenshots with it uses more disk space, but these can be offloaded to a different external folder for access with the app). You don't need to install any additional bloated supporting frameworks like .NET or Java because AlomWare Toolbox is a single standalone portable executable file for Windows®.

Does AlomWare Toolbox alter my PC's files or change my Registry settings?

No. AlomWare Toolbox is portable, so it doesn't need admin rights to run and doesn't need any setup or installation. It saves its settings in the folder where it's run; doesn't alter existing files or folders on your PC; and doesn't change existing Registry settings during use. The only changes it makes to your files are when you've created automated actions to specifically do this.

Does AlomWare Toolbox have a virus or malware?

No. Please see the real-time third-party independent evidence from Google's Transparency Report

and VirusTotal

that prove no malware is found here. If your anti-virus product is mistakenly alerting that AlomWare Toolbox has malware, it's probably due to the automation features of the app; so you'll need to white-list "Toolbox.exe" to stop the alerts. Here's where to white-list in Windows® 10. Note that downloading a crack or keygen for AlomWare Toolbox from piracy websites will infect your PC, because these are what contain malware.

Why might I get a warning when trying to run AlomWare Toolbox?

If you get a warning message about "Windows protected your PC" or an "unknown publisher" when running AlomWare Toolbox, it just means Windows® can't verify the publisher (AlomWare) with Microsoft at this time. Despite this warning, your PC is never at risk (see the above question about malware) as this is just a standard warning from Windows®. To perform your own manual publisher verification, compare the SHA-256 hash of the unzipped "Toolbox.exe" file (not the zip file) under the "Download" button on our Home page with any online SHA-256 verification

service. If it matches, then your download is safe and you can select "Run anyway" (or "Run") to skip the warning in future.

How do I install AlomWare Toolbox?

Watch how to unzip and run AlomWare Toolbox with Windows® 10 and PeaZip

AlomWare Toolbox is a portable app, so no setup or installation is needed. Once downloaded from AlomWare.com, unzip the downloaded file so the folder named "AlomWare Toolbox" is saved somewhere on your PC. (Learn how by watching the above video, or use a free tool like PeaZip to do it). As shown in the video, simply double-click the "Toolbox.exe" file inside the unzipped "AlomWare Toolbox" folder to run the app. You'll need to accept the End-User License Agreement before you can use it, and then AlomWare Toolbox will set itself to auto-run whenever you start your PC or log in. (Note: You can disable auto-run in the app's settings).

Does AlomWare Toolbox respect my privacy?

Yes. Everything you do with AlomWare Toolbox is never seen, known, or accessible to us at any time; and nothing in the app secretly sends your data to us. You don't even need an internet connection to run it, but if you're not convinced, then learn how to block AlomWare Toolbox with a firewall. Just remember that doing this will prevent you using the email or website automated actions features of the app.

All your data and app settings are stored offline in a local folder named "Toolbox Data" where AlomWare Toolbox is run. There is a setting to change the data folder to another location if you wish. We don't save by default to "the cloud" for two reasons: (a) your data is none of our business, and (b) being offline means your data isn't sitting on an online server somewhere that hackers can attack.

Is my data encrypted for privacy?

By default, your data is not encrypted, to (a) save you having to enter a password every time the app starts, and (b) keep your important data accessible if you forget your password - we don't want you to accidentally lock yourself out! But you can click the "user" icon at the top-right of AlomWare Toolbox's window to set a password for that session (launch). This password is not saved or sent anywhere, and is lost when the app quits or when you specifically choose to stop using it. When set, your notes and automated action steps can be encrypted by wrapping sensitive text in this format: {?text to be hidden}. To understand better, click the images below or watch the video.

Click the Password icon and enter a password to encrypt the text inside the {? and } wrappers. Don't forget the password!

Click the Password icon again to remove it, and the note instantly encrypts the text because no password is entered.

You can also right-click a selection of note text and choose "Encryption" to encrypt/decrypt that selection.

Will I ever be locked out of my data?

Absolutely not. The app stores your data as plain text (with optional encryption as explained above), and as PNG images for your screenshots and clipboard images. This means you can always get your data from outside of AlomWare Toolbox if you desire. We're old-school coders with real morals: we don't lock your data in a database to force you to keep using the app (aka "vendor lock-in"

).

Is AlomWare Toolbox accessible and/or DPI-aware?

Yes. Despite our videos and screenshots showing specific colors for the app, you can change them to your own color scheme, switch them off altogether, or just use the default Windows® color scheme that you've set. These are done in the "Settings -> General -> Window -> Item colors" area. The recommended minimum desktop size is 1024 x 768 pixels, with small system fonts (100% DPI). Anything less than these means the app won't be able to display everything correctly for you.

Is AlomWare Toolbox available in languages other than English?

Unfortunately not. AlomWare Toolbox contains a massive amount of instructional text and messages, and supporting multiple languages is not planned due to both the costs of professional translation and the logistics of embedding dozens of languages into the app. We sincerely regret the inconvenience this brings to non-English users.

How do I upgrade AlomWare Toolbox?

Quit the app if it's running, and then unzip the new version over the old version's folder. Yes, it's literally that simple, and you won't lose any data or settings. Remember, we don't charge for updates - if your unlock code is current, then you can always freely download and enjoy the latest version at any time!

Review published in popular French computer "PC Trucs & Astuces" in 2017 (back when the app was known as AlomWare Actions)

See what these independent software websites have to say!

There is a lot packed in with this app ranging from Windows tweaks to file management, putting them all together in a single app. You would think that with so many options, the interface would be congested - it isn't. AlomWare made it very organized, allowing any user to benefit. [...] Consider AlomWare Toolbox your all-in-one assistant, giving you centralized access to everyday actions through a user-friendly interface.

AlomWare Toolbox works both as a powerful productivity-boosting tool and a PC tweaking utility.

From taking notes and logging appointments to automating tasks, creating file backups or monitoring folders, this application can do it all for you.
Softpedia

AlomWare Toolbox offers a robust set of features and options for various use cases. What makes it stand out is really its built-in scripting function — something that is very rare to see in these types of tools. [...] To say that this toolbox offers a lot is an understatement.
Softonic

When working on any standard Windows PC, we need a number of tools for doing small things such as keeping reminders, taking screenshots, managing the clipboard and some basic automation. While we can find different tools for doing all of these things from the Internet, pretty soon we end up using half a dozen of apps on our PC. Using so many tools not only wastes the system resources but we have to jump from one application to another all the time. [...] Instead of using multiple tools, we can use one tool that offers so many features called AlomWare Toolbox. It is a must to have software for all kind of users and offers a number of productivity tools.
