Free Windows tools
Small, single-file Windows utilities — no installer, no account, no ads. Each one lists exactly what it does and doesn't touch.
These aren't code-signed yet (signing costs money every year), so Windows SmartScreen may say “Windows protected your PC.” That warning means “unknown publisher,” not “virus.” If you trust the download, click More info → Run anyway. Each file's SHA-256 fingerprint is listed so you can confirm you got the exact file published here (in PowerShell: Get-FileHash .\filename.exe).
Specs Reporter
Your PC's full hardware report — CPU, RAM, GPU, motherboard, BIOS, storage — in one window, savable as a text or HTML file. What you need before asking for tech help or selling a PC.
- Reads your hardware info
- Saves a report only where you choose
- Change anything on your system
- Need admin rights
- Send anything anywhere
Disk Usage
Find out what's actually filling your drive. Scan any folder, drill down largest-first, and see the 100 biggest files anywhere in the scan.
- Scans folders you pick
- Opens a file's location in Explorer when you ask
- Delete or modify anything — this version is read-only
- Need admin rights
- Send anything anywhere
Network Info
Everything about your connection in one place: IP addresses, DNS servers, Wi-Fi signal, ping, a download speed test, devices your PC has talked to on your network, and which programs have ports open.
- Reads your network settings
- Looks up your public IP address (via ipify.org) when it opens
- Pings Google and Cloudflare, or runs a download speed test from Cloudflare — only when you click those buttons
- Change any network settings
- Need admin rights
- Scan other people's devices
Startup Manager
See everything that launches when you log in — registry entries, the Startup folder, scheduled tasks, and services — and turn off the safe ones.
- Lists every startup item
- Turns Startup-folder items on and off by moving them into a "Disabled" subfolder and back
- Delete anything
- Touch the registry, services, or scheduled tasks (those are view-only here)
- Need admin rights
Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. Each app is a single .exe you can run from anywhere — delete the file to remove it. Settings are saved in your user folder. Linux versions are coming.
These are provided as-is, free. They're built to be careful — nothing is deleted, and nothing needs admin rights — but use your judgment about what you turn off in Startup Manager. Found a bug? Use the Submit information form on the homepage.
