T-Clock / T-Clock

« Last post by Lumlumi on June 23, 2026, 09:05 PM »

Hello!
I love T-Clock because I need bigger numbers to see better. I'm miope.
I'd love to open it twice so next clock to go to next monitor at top right angle of the screen. Is it possible?
Thank you!

Thanks Deo, been down that path already but it hasn't stuck hence the thought that a client might (!!) Work

General Software Discussion / Re: cross platform email client...

Not counting mobile apps, I haven't used a non-browser based email client for about two decades, so I can't help you there.

But another possible solution, which I admit may not be a good fit for her, is to consolidate her accounts either by setting up a rule to automatically forward all emails from one account to the other, or by getting a third email account which both of her current accounts automatically forward to. Maybe one that has a "desktop" client^* and iOS app. Then she will only need to use the one account that is receiving all the emails.


* Many websites will let you "install" the website as a "desktop app" which is basically just a simplified browser window that only loads that one website. Any external links open in the full browser. Perhaps you could "install" the browser-based email client as a "desktop app" for her to use, and of course use the email service's app on iOS.

General Software Discussion / cross platform email client...

« Last post by Target on June 21, 2026, 01:53 AM »

I'm trying to support my elderly mother inlaw with her email but its challenging for her so I'm hoping to simplify things if possible.

She has a gmail account and a Yahoo account () that she can't let go of () no matter what...

she uses an iPhone and a windows desktop so I wondered if setting her up with an email client (instead of the browser) might be a 'solution'.

My searches seem to indicate spark is a likely candidate, but would be interested hear if anyone here uses it (preferably across iOS/windows) and what they're thoughts/feelings were?

If anyone has any other recommendations I'd be glad to hear them too

TIA

DesktopCoral / Thanks for this tool!

My laptop recently developed LCD damage, and this tool has made it a lot more usable, since I can use it to block out the damaged area. That way I don't have to keep trying to click things that are cut off by the damage.

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Stream Deck Macro Recorder

« Last post by Rockensoft on June 12, 2026, 04:27 PM »

Hi,

I built Humble Macro, a small Windows utility/plugin for Stream Deck that records keyboard + mouse workflows and replays them from a Stream Deck button.

The idea is simple:

- press record
- perform the workflow once
- save it as a macro
- replay it from Stream Deck

It is meant for repetitive workflows where manually scripting everything in AutoHotkey or building long Stream Deck action chains would be overkill.

It uses AutoHotkey v2 for the actual automation logic. Macros are local, user-triggered, and intended for replay/automation, not background monitoring.

It is a paid plugin on the Elgato Marketplace. I cannot realistically offer it for free because even a small utility like this takes real time to build, test, maintain, and support. - Way more than i wanted...
If that's not ok dear mod feel free to delete the topic, I won't argue.

Main use cases:

- repetitive workflows
- app setup routines
- creator/streaming workflows
- office/admin tasks
- simple mouse + keyboard automation without writing scripts
- gaming, responsable use only!

I would be interested in feedback, especially from people who use AutoHotkey, Stream Deck, or small Windows productivity tools.

- Is “macro recorder for Stream Deck” clear enough?
- Would you understand the use case from the pictures?
- Is this more interesting for creators, office/productivity users, gamers?
- Is paid Marketplace distribution a blocker for this kind of tool?

An amazing run. Can't believe it has been almost 15 years since I joined? Came for FARR, stayed for the crew. Although I mostly lurked from 2017; that is when I fully switched to Linux (Fedora, KDE). Haven't regretted it a bit. Thank you for everything mouser. Special shout out to skwire too, whose software I used a lot too!

General Software Discussion / Re: UEFI updates and potential issues

« Last post by Deozaan on June 03, 2026, 02:24 AM »

I'm not sure I understand what this means for me. My PC is about 15 years old, when UEFI was new. It seems to use a hybrid BIOS/UEFI thingy. Maybe mine is so old it's not an issue for me? I'm not sure it supports secure boot. Or maybe I disabled it years ago and forgot about it? I don't see anything about Secure Boot in the Windows security settings like what is shown in the video.
