Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Trayslate 1.6.0 - Free tray translator with hotkeys and configurable services

« on: April 09, 2026, 01:01 PM »

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share my project called Trayslate.
Trayslate (a combination of “tray” and “translate”).

Trayslate is a lightweight tray-based translator that works with external translation services. It doesn’t include any built-in engines — instead, you can choose and fully configure the service you prefer.

The app is always available in the system tray and lets you translate text anywhere on your system — not just in the browser.

Key features:
• Translate selected text in any application using a global hotkey
• Replace text directly in input fields with its translation
• Instant clipboard translation (double-click tray icon)
• Real-time translation while typing
• Fully configurable translation services
• Lightweight and fast (no built-in engines)
• Supports 25 interface languages
• Dark mode support
• Portable version included

Trayslate acts as a web client for translation services, keeping it minimal, flexible, and independent.

The project is open-source and written in Lazarus (Free Pascal).

Download (latest release):
https://github.com/plaintool/trayslate/releases/latest

New Version Released!

🚀 What’s New

Since the previous release, Trayslate has received a number of significant improvements and new features:

• Improved language selection — added country flags and a dedicated language settings page for configuring active languages.
• Built-in spell checking — added Windows built-in spell checker support for the selected language.
• Rich text editing — switched to RichMemo with Ctrl+MouseWheel zooming and right-to-left text direction support.
• Better interface scaling — improved the application interface at different scaling levels and made settings behavior more consistent.
• Improved language detection — language detection can now be limited to the language codes configured in Trayslate.
• More flexible settings — added application language selection, improved recent language pair hints, and automatic disabling of settings for inactive groups.
• Improved usability — added copy/paste emulation options, automatic Popup Window hiding, and preserved RichMemo zoom factors.
• Better reliability — fixed proxy connectivity, DeepL line breaks, layout issues, mouse wheel behavior, script processing, and several other problems.
• Localization updates — updated Bulgarian, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese translations.

Overall, v1.6.0 makes Trayslate more convenient, flexible, reliable, and accessible, while keeping its lightweight approach.

If you try it, I’d really appreciate your feedback!

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Re: NoteTask 1.1.1 – Free cross-platform task & notes in plain-text on your disk!

« on: April 09, 2026, 12:24 PM »

Thanks for sharing -- It looks impressive! 

I'm a bit embarrassed, but I don't see how to run or install it.  I downloaded the full repo from Github, but there are no exe files...  Do I need to compile something? 

EDIT:  My bad...  In the GitHub repo, on the right, is a 'Releases' link.  It takes you here
https://github.com/p...ol/notetask/releases

From that location you can download installers or a compiled (.exe) portable version.   

-kunkel321 (February 11, 2026, 01:40 PM)

Thanks for the kind words!

The repository contains only the source code, but there are ready-to-use builds available on the Releases page for different operating systems. You can choose the installer that fits your system.

For Windows, the simplest option is the universal .exe installer — it’s listed first on the page.

Glad you found it 🙂 Let me know if you run into any issues!

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / NoteTask 1.1.5 – Free cross-platform task & notes in plain-text on your disk!

« on: October 29, 2025, 04:38 AM »

Hi everyone,

I’ve written a small application called Notetask for managing task lists or notes in plain text files.
It’s useful for quickly organizing many ongoing tasks.

Each line in the file represents a separate task, but multiline tasks are also supported — in the file they are separated by the <br> tag.
The app also supports basic Markdown formatting, so tasks can be easily copied to Markdown files.

Notetask, a free and open-source cross-platform task manager for Windows and Linux. The core idea of Notetask is simple: it stores tasks and notes in plain text files where each line represents a separate task or note. Users can also choose to save their files in an encrypted format for personal information, while all data remains local to their device.

Thanks to its flexible interface customization, users can choose which elements and fields to display, allowing Notetask to function not only as a task manager but also as a notes organizer or a secure personal data storage. Interface settings are saved individually for each file, so every document can have its own preferred layout and visible fields.

Notetask provides a customizable interface and offers a range of features to manage tasks effectively, including automatic numbering, grouping, archiving, duration tracking, task highlighting, merging and indenting tasks, as well as copy/paste in Markdown format.

The project is open-source and written in Lazarus (Free Pascal). GitHub:
https://github.com/plaintool/notetask

Download (latest release):

Now featured on MajorGeeks — one of the oldest software directories!

If you try this app, please let me know if everything works well for you! Your feedback is greatly appreciated
