📢 Version 1.0 & Sustainability Note We are excited to announce that Swiss Knife Toolbox v1.0 is now officially available for download!
Why a closed-source release? To ensure the long-term sustainability of the project and to continue providing premium cloud features at no cost to the end-user, version 1.0 is released as a compiled package.
Maintaining high-performance cloud services and providing free access to specialized APIs (like Google Gemini and AudD Music Recognition) involves significant hosting and licensing costs. To keep the application free for everyone, we are moving towards a sustainable model supported by non-intrusive ads on our platform (sktoolbox.pro). This allows us to:
- Keep the core app free to download and use.
- Cover the costs of Cloud Storage & Sync for your screenshots.
- Plan for future integrated API access, removing the need for users to provide their own keys.
- 🚀 Smart Screenshots & Annotations: Capture full-screen or custom regions. Use built-in tools (Pen, Arrows, Shapes, Text) to highlight what matters instantly.
- 🤖 Interactive Gemini AI: Capture any area and chat with Google's advanced AI. Features history-aware conversations for deep context.
- 🎵 Music Recognition: Identify any song playing on your PC in seconds via the AudD API. Includes a sleek countdown and clipboard integration.
- 📏 Screen Ruler: Pixel-perfect measurement tool with Shift-snapping for precision layout work.
- 🎨 Color Picker: Global eyedropper to grab HEX/RGB values from any pixel on your screen.
- 🔍 Instant OCR (Ctrl + B): Extract text from any image or screen region instantly to your clipboard.
- ⚙️ System Integration: Modern dark-themed toast notifications, global hotkeys, and silent tray startup Support.
