Common questions about the software and the site.
No. Every app on this site is a standalone Windows executable. Python projects are compiled with PyInstaller and bundle everything they need. .NET projects bundle the runtime. Unzip the file and run the exe. Nothing else to install.
Yes. Everything is built and tested on Windows 10 and Windows 11, 64-bit. 32-bit Windows isn't supported.
Yes. All executables are compiled from source code written by me and distributed directly from this site. No third-party installers, no bundled adware. Windows Defender sometimes flags PyInstaller-compiled executables as suspicious. It's a well-known false positive with PyInstaller, not an actual detection. You can verify any download with its SHA-256 checksum, shown on each project page.
PyInstaller packages Python code into a single executable by bundling the interpreter and all dependencies together. This is also a technique some malware uses, so Windows Defender's heuristics flag it as suspicious even when the code is clean. It's a false positive. If you want to check independently, scan the file on VirusTotal before running. A few flags out of 70+ engines is normal for PyInstaller apps.
Depends on the app. Suit CC uses the internet for weather, news, maps, and the 3D globe, but most of its modules work offline. Oracle VII works fully offline and runs local AI models with no internet involved. Network Transfer works entirely on your local network. Daily Report fetches weather and news on launch. Voice Assistant GUI is completely offline.
None of the apps collect or send personal data. Suit CC talks to public APIs (weather, news) to display info on screen but doesn't log anything or send your data anywhere. Oracle VII processes everything locally. There's no analytics, no telemetry, and no accounts.
Install Ollama from ollama.com, then pull a model: run 'ollama pull llama3' in a terminal (or any model you prefer). Start Ollama with 'ollama serve', then run OracleVII.exe and open your browser to http://localhost:5000. No API keys needed. See the guide page for more detail.
It's included in the zip inside an 'extension' folder. In Chrome or Edge, go to chrome://extensions, enable Developer Mode, click Load Unpacked, and select the extension folder. Suit CC needs to be running for the extension to connect. It communicates over localhost.
It's a sidecar process that runs alongside Suit CC when gesture control is enabled. It uses your webcam to detect hand gestures and maps them to actions in the dashboard. It only runs when you have gesture control turned on, and it shuts down when you close Suit CC. It's optional and Suit CC works fine without it.
Yes, that's the whole point. Both computers need to be running the app. It works over Bluetooth or local Wi-Fi. The computers don't need to be on the same account and don't need internet access. Files are encrypted in transit and verified with a checksum at the end.
Open commands.yml in the app folder with any text editor. Each command has a trigger phrase, an action type (shell, python, or http), and the action details. Save the file and restart the app. The guide page has more info on the YAML format.
No. The apps are distributed as compiled binaries only. Source code isn't published.
Yes, all of it, for personal use. No accounts, no licences, no payment.
Irregularly. I update them when I add features or fix bugs, not on a fixed schedule. Each project page has a changelog showing the version history.
No. Everything here is Windows-only. There are no plans to change that.
The contact page. Include the app name and version, what you did, what happened, and what you expected to happen. A screenshot is helpful if there's a visible error.
