I wanted something simple, local, and fully under my control—basically a calendar where I could see upcoming paychecks and bills and know how much money I’d have on any given day.

So I built Money Calendar. I can add my upcoming paychecks, rent, credit card payments, subscriptions, bills, etc. and it lays everything out by date and calculates running balance.

Recurring stuff only needs to be entered once — weekly, biweekly, monthly, twice a month, etc.

A few things I specifically wanted:

• See upcoming income and expenses on a calendar
• See how my balance changes over the next few weeks/months
• Multiple accounts
• Local data storage with no bank connections, paid subscriptions, or data stored in somebody elses cloud

It's a Windows desktop app and completely free/open source.

I'm mostly interested in whether other people actually find this way of looking at their finances useful. If you use spreadsheets or calendars to do something similar, I'd especially like to hear what I'm missing.

MindMap is a lightweight desktop app for creating and editing mind maps. It provides a pannable, zoomable canvas with quick keyboard-driven node creation, connector-based relationships, simple text alignment and color controls, outline copy/paste, undo, and image export.

Here is the github link MindMap on Github

It's a pretty straightforward app for quickly creating mind maps and saving them locally, without having to use a website. It's completely free and open source, with no limits or paid tiers.

I originally built it for myself because my favorite online mind-mapping tool limited free users to just three mind maps, which I found way too restrictive.

Anyway, if you find the app useful, I'd appreciate a star on the GitHub repo.

I built PrintShard, a Windows desktop app for tiling large images across multiple printed pages, so you can create large-format prints using any standard printer.

Repo: https://github.com/loxsmoke/printshard

The first version worked, but it reduced image quality, making large prints somewhat fuzzy. The newest version prints images at their original resolution, preserving the detail and making PrintShard much more suitable for high-quality posters, diagrams, artwork, and other large images.

It now also includes prebuilt binaries and an installer, so you don't need to build it yourself.

If you find it useful, give the repo a star or leave a comment here. Feedback is welcome.

I've been building OpenLogi.net, an app for controlling Logitech mice and keyboards on Windows — and it's at a point where I'd love for people to try it.

It talks to your devices directly over HID++ (Bolt/Unifying receiver, Bluetooth, or wired), so everything stays on your machine: no account, no cloud sync, no telemetry.

The porting story: this began as a port of the excellent Rust project AprilNEA/OpenLogi. The original leads on macOS and Linux - Windows is an early, untested preview there. I'm on Windows, so rather than bolt Windows support onto a Rust/GPUI codebase, I rewrote it in C# / .NET + Avalonia.

Because the whole thing is built around Windows first, it's grown more capable on Windows than the original's Windows preview — fuller device support, RGB lighting (per-key colors and effects), onboard and per-app profiles, multi-host switching, and a proper installer. It's an independent project, but huge credit to the upstream OpenLogi for the foundation and the reverse-engineering work.

What it does:

- Discovers your devices + shows battery level

- Button remapping

- DPI control + presets

- SmartShift (wheel ratchet) tuning

- RGB lighting — colors, effects, brightness

Why you might like it:

- Small + self-contained — ~16 MB installer (or a portable zip), and you don't need .NET installed

- No account, no telemetry, fully open source (MIT)

- Installer and a no-install portable build on the releases page

I've tested it on the hardware I own, and since Logitech's lineup is huge, I'd genuinely love to hear how it runs on your device — open an issue with your model and what worked. One quick tip: close Options+ first, since both apps want to talk to the device at the same time.

Not affiliated with Logitech. Feedback, ideas, and PRs all very welcome — hope it's useful!

Tried to post this on r/sideproject but that subreddit is hopeless. Anyway, since this project has a .NET backend, I figured I could post here.

I’ve been working on a side project called version.win

It gives your build/CI scripts a simple HTTP endpoint for version numbers.

It supports sequential, semantic, and calendar-based versions, keeps version history, and has a small dashboard for projects/API keys.

I’m trying to figure out if this is useful beyond my own projects.

Would love feedback:

• Would you use an external service for build versioning?
• What would make this trustworthy enough for CI?
• Any versioning workflows I’m missing?
