DailyTools is a small collection of native desktop apps crafted for power users who want precision tools — not subscription traps.
Every app in this collection started the same way: I needed a tool that didn't exist in a form I was happy with. Either it was bloated with features I'd never use, required a cloud account to work offline, or charged a monthly subscription for something that should just run on my machine.
DupExplorer came first — I had a 2TB music collection with thousands of duplicates and every cleaner I tried either crashed, was slow, or needed to "phone home". So I built my own.
MonyExplorer followed. I wanted to understand my finances without handing my bank data to a third party. A local-first, privacy-respecting tracker with real analytics — that's what I built for myself.
DailyTools is the home for these apps. Each one is focused, fast, and private by design.
No investors, no board, no growth targets. Features ship when they're ready and when users ask for them — not on a roadmap driven by funding rounds.
Every app stores all data locally on your machine. No telemetry, no analytics, no servers that can be compromised, subpoenaed, or shut down.
Pay once and own it. Free updates for life. No tier creep, no feature gating over time, no "sorry, that's now a Pro feature".
Each app does one thing and does it exceptionally well. No feature bloat, no upsells, no "coming soon" tabs hiding half the product.
Not Electron. Not web-wrapped. Real native desktop apps that launch in under a second and use your hardware the way it was meant to be used.
The price shown is the price you pay. Once. No upgrade nags, no "free trial expired", no credit card for a download.
You get a human response, not a ticket queue. Bug reports from real users are how these apps improve — they're taken seriously.
Paid-once apps have a different incentive than subscription apps: keep working, keep being good, or users don't recommend them to friends.
Every update ships with an honest changelog. When something breaks, it's acknowledged. When it's fixed, you hear about it.
Both DupExplorer and MonyExplorer are available as a free trial — no account needed.
