nCleaner – A Free App for System Cleaning

sarahintampa — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:31:00 GMT

If you have ever used the system cleaning app cCleaner, you may be interested in checking out nCleaner as an alterative. cCleaner let you delete your browsing history, cache, cookies, while also cleaning up your Windows Explorer, emptying the recycle bin, cleaning your clipboard history, and clearing the memory in various applications (like Office).

nCleaner, on the other hand, goes even further and offers a slew of detailed options for system cleaning and offers to clean over 90 items, one of these items being a registry cleaner. Now, you will no longer need a separate program for that – it’s built right in. In addition, the software provides a system resource monitor, a system advisor, logging, scheduling, plug in option, custom cleaning, statistics, automatic updating, and a lot more.

Karl on MakeUseOf put it to the test recently and managed to recover 17 GB worth of disk space and declared the app a winner. That’s good enough for me – since it’s a free download, I’ll give it a shot. You can try it too – the download link is here.

Browsing Photos With Pictomio

Pictomio is a new, downloadable app for Windows that makes browsing through your photos a really cool experience. The app has a slick, modern interface and lets you flip through your photos in 3D. Because of the 3D rendering, your graphics card will need to have some juice to take advantage of this software, but the end result is worth it. Pictomio very much reminds me of what the PicLens browser add-on offers, and makes me wonder if 3D browsing is the next big thing we're going to be seeing both on the web and in our software programs.

You can also use the program to view, organize, browse, and edit your photos’ metadata, but it stops short of being a full-on image editing program. Still, this program is a lot of fun and it’s definitely being added to my list of alternatives to Windows Explorer.

Stack your Photos with PicMe

A freeware application for Windows called PicMe, scans your PC for your digital photos and then displays them in 3D stacks, like a digital shoe box. You can use PicMe to browse through your photos but you can also use the application to share them with your friends by using the integrated sharing feature. PicMe lets you share photos with friends on Flickr, Picassa, Facebook, or with other PicMe users. The free version lets you share up to 200 photos, but to share more, you'll have to pay. However, it's only $9.95/year for the next step up, which allows for 5000 photos. You can try PicMe by downloading the app from here.

Switcher 2.0 Beta

sarahintampa — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 09:00:00 GMT

Switcher is free utility for Windows Vista (running Aero) that lets you arrange the windows on your screen in different ways. The default view is the "tile view," which arranges the windows so that you can see all of them, even across multiple monitors. Another view, called the "dock view" magnifies one window and arranges the rest along the side. There is also a grid view, which is a good one to use if you are also going to use the number shortcuts for the windows (the first 9 windows can be activated by pressing the respective number on the keyboard).

Your desktop can be treated as a window, too. In this new version of Switcher, the windows now have a customizable background color, border, and a label which can display any of the following: the filename of the application, window icon, the number shortcut, the memory used in megabytes, the process name and the window title. Other new features include filters to help you narrow down the windows that appear, the ability to close windows during a session, smoother animations, and additional keyboard shortcuts.
