ToolHaven v3.2.2

ToolHaven 3.2.2

Fixed

• FFmpeg and ffprobe failed to install on a new machine, because the pinned build had been deleted upstream. They now use a build that stays available.
• ExifTool failed to install on a new machine with "The download does not contain exiftool(-k).exe".

If you're on 2.1.0 or later, just open the app and it will update itself.

ToolHaven v3.2.1

ToolHaven 3.2.1

New

• About ninety built-in quick tools. Text tools, codes and hashes, test data, CSS generators, CSS and HTML minify and format, QR codes and barcodes, dates and time, math and finance, colours, everyday calculators, network lookups and random picks. They run inside the app, need nothing installed, and show results as you type.
• Chat mockup. Build a WhatsApp, iMessage or Instagram DM conversation and save it as an image. WhatsApp uses the dark theme, with read ticks.
• Post mockup. Build a tweet or an Instagram post and save it as an image. The tweet follows the real X layout, with an optional verified badge, views and time.
• Hover a card to see the tools inside it without opening it.
• A colour picker on every colour field.
• CSS previews can be shown on a box, text, a button or a card.
• Regenerate for dice, roulette, raffles and other random tools, and Generate for CPF and CNPJ.
• Upload a CSS or HTML file into the minify and format tools.

Changed

• Inside a group, the tools are listed as buttons at the top of the panel instead of in a dropdown.
• The Everything filter shows the total number of tools.
• Dates and time opens in a wider panel.
• The Deno card is gone. Deno is still installed automatically when yt-dlp needs it.

Fixed

• Opening the app a second time opened a second window. It now brings the open window to the front.
• Tools showed an error before anything had been typed.

ToolHaven v3.1.0

ToolHaven 3.1.0

A Windows desktop workbench for open-source CLI tools — media, images, PDFs and
developer utilities, without the command line.

New

• A finished job can be acted on. Every result in the history now has
  Show in folder, which opens Explorer with the file already selected, beside
  Copy path. The path itself is gone from the row — one long line that made
  every row wide and told nobody anything they could act on.

Fixed

• Tesseract could not be installed at all. Its installer asks Windows for
  elevation, so it failed with "the requested operation requires elevation"
  before it read a single argument. It now runs with the app's own token, which
  needs no prompt, and falls back to Windows' consent dialog if that is ever
  not enough.
• A dropdown was narrower than the words in it, so a choice wrapped onto two
  lines and grew a sideways scrollbar. In Settings its options were also
  indented out of line with the value they replace.
• A downloading tool ran its name and its status together on one line in the
  install plan.
• A job's row was half in English for anybody reading in Portuguese: the
  tool's name and everything the app itself said about the job are now
  translated too.

ToolHaven v3.0.0

ToolHaven 3.0.0

A Windows desktop workbench for open-source CLI tools — media, images, PDFs and
developer utilities, without the command line.

New

• The app speaks Portuguese. Pick the language in Settings; English stays
  the default. Everything is translated, not just the menus: the twenty-six
  tools, every operation and option, the hints, the errors and the queue.
• Settings leads with the version, and a Check now button for when you
  would rather not wait for the next launch.
• A new version announces itself at the top of the page, coming down from
  above and stopping under the top bar.

Changed

• Number fields have a real minus and plus. Chromium's own spinners appear
  on hover and share the height of one line of text between them; these are
  full-height buttons at either end, and typing still works as before.
• Settings says less. Every card explained its own switch in two or three
  lines. The explanations are gone; what is left is what a heading cannot say.

Fixed

• Updating closed the app instead of updating it. On Windows the installer
  takes over and exits the app the moment it is launched, so the window
  disappeared while the update was still downloading. The download now finishes
  first, and the app is only handed over when you press Restart.

ToolHaven v2.1.1

ToolHaven 2.1.1

A patch release, and the first one the app can install by itself.

Fixed

  disappeared while the update was still downloading. The download now finishes

ToolHaven v2.1.0

ToolHaven 2.1.0

A Windows desktop workbench for open-source CLI tools — media, images, PDFs and
developer utilities, without the command line.

First release since 1.0.0.

New

• It updates itself. Checks for a new version on launch, downloads and
  installs it, then offers a Restart button — it never pulls the window away
  mid-job. Every update is signature-verified before it runs.
• Nothing left to install by hand. 7-Zip, MKVToolNix, ImageMagick and
  ExifTool now download in-app like everything else. Nine tools ship inside the
  installer, seventeen download on demand, and nothing ever asks for
  administrator rights.
• Stop a running operation, from the queue or from its panel. Stopping kills
  the whole process tree, so nothing is left writing in the background.
• The queue and history survive a restart. Anything interrupted says so
  instead of pretending to still be running.
• Name the music that is playing — from your speakers or a microphone. One
  button, a live meter, and it starts looking after four seconds rather than
  waiting for the whole clip. Results link to Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube
  Music.
• Find where a picture came from with Google Lens, Yandex, Bing or TinEye.
• Enlarge a photograph with a model (Nomos8kSC), on the image card beside
  resize and crop. Needs a Vulkan-capable GPU.
• Read text out of scans with Tesseract, into a text file or a searchable
  PDF.
• Two new settings: how many operations run at once, and what to do when a
  file already exists.
• Every download states its size before it starts.

Fixed

• Enlarging an image could return a scrambled picture at 2× and 3×.
• The modal stopped blurring its background in release builds.
• The default folder in Settings only moved the save dialog instead of deciding
  where files go.
• The link on a recognised track led to a page that returns an error.

Privacy

Nothing about you is collected: no telemetry, no analytics, no account. Every
operation on a file runs locally, on the file in place.

Four things reach the internet, and each is the point of the thing doing it:
downloading media, fetching a tool you asked to install, checking for a new
version, and the two recognition tools — reverse image search uploads the
picture you chose, and music recognition sends a fingerprint computed on your
machine, never the sound. Both say so in the panel before they run.

ToolHaven 1.0.0

ToolHaven 1.0.0

A Windows desktop workbench for open-source CLI tools. Convert media, images,
PDFs and code without installing anything by hand — light tools ship inside
the installer, heavier ones are downloaded and verified by the app itself.

Highlights

• 22 tools, one interface. FFmpeg, yt-dlp, qpdf, libvips, Pandoc, Poppler,
  ImageMagick, ExifTool, ripgrep, fd, jq, yq, Miller, Oxipng, Difftastic,
  tokei, hexyl, Dust and more, each exposed as a typed operation — never a
  raw shell prompt.
• Nothing to install by hand. 9 tools travel inside the ~15 MB installer;
  9 more are downloaded on demand, hash-verified, and activated atomically
  the first time you use them.
• Real background progress. Jobs keep running and reporting progress
  after you close the tool panel — the queue is a first-class view, not a
  side effect of an open dialog.
• Light and dark themes, following Windows or set manually, with no
  flash on startup.
• Drag and drop that works. Drop a file anywhere in the window; with a
  tool open, it goes straight into that tool.
• No AI, no telemetry, no bundled ads. Every tool is open source with a
  permissive or aggregation-safe license; see LICENSING.md
  for exactly which license covers which binary.
