Winutils

A simple and easy to use Windows tray tool having various utilities.

This is a mono-repository for a bunch of utilities I use on Windows.
The README of each tool subdirectory has more information on each particular tool.

⚠️ Scripts (currently) may use hardcoded values, and thus may not work properly on your machine. Scripts are also not designed to be easily configurable.

Demonstration

• App Runner: Stop and start certain application groups with a single click
• Fn Lock: Simulate function lock key functionality for keyboards that don't have it
• Mechvibes Volume: Normalize volume levels for the Mechvibes application relative to the system volume

Script List

This repository also contains a few standalone scripts that are not part of the tray tool.

• Backup Bitwarden: Maintain up to 5 encrypted Bitwarden backups
• Create Symlinks: Create symlinks as per a config file to particular directories
• WinGet App Installer: Bulk install apps as per a config file using WinGet

Building

Builds are made using PyInstaller, and the following command can be used to build the main tray tool as a console-less executable.

python -m PyInstaller winutils/utility_manager/__main__.py \
--noconsole
--icon "icons/settings.ico"
--name Winutils
--add-data "icons;icons"

The additional --onefile flag can be supplied to create a single executable file.

If you are running MacOS, you may use the --target-architecture flag to choose between x86 and x64 or universal binaries.

You may also build an individual utility by changing the path in the above command, you may also want to use the icon corresponding to that utility.
