BackDrop
⚙️ BackDrop New release 2026-08-06
BackDrop hides your desktop behind a solid colour or an image while you record a tutorial or stream, so icons, folders and personal files never reach the frame. You can draw straight on the cover — pencil, lines, shapes, arrows and text captions — and the magic pencil leaves strokes that fade away by themselves after a few seconds, so you can point at things without stopping to clean up. See-through mode turns the program into a sheet of tracing paper: the cover disappears and you annotate your running applications directly, while putting the tool down hands clicks straight back to the app underneath. What you drew saves to PNG or JPG, or reaches the clipboard with a single keystroke — and in see-through mode that gives you a finished annotated screenshot. It needs no installer, keeps its settings beside the executable, and can ask for confirmation before minimising or closing, so the desktop never appears in the middle of a recording. At a glance: · Solid colour or your own image — 18 ready-made colours, or any other · Drawing on top: pencil, eraser, line, rectangle, circle, triangle, arrow, text · Magic pencil — strokes fade away on their own after 1–30 seconds · See-through mode — draw over your running applications · Save as PNG/JPG and copy to the clipboard · Guards against uncovering the desktop by accident while recording · Portable: settings and pictures live beside the program

⚙️ Scene_Managerv1.3 New release 2026-08-01
Scene Manager is a visual library for your 3D models with a version history: a card with a preview for every asset, instead of a folder full of final_v2_fix_new.mb. Every file you drop onto a card becomes the next revision and is marked read-only, so nothing is ever overwritten and older versions stay one click away. Its other half is a plugin for Maya 2019–2026: the same board inside Maya, where a scene opens or imports with a single button and any revision can be picked. It handles .ma, .mb and .fbx, and a project is just a folder on disk — no server, no database.

⚙️ MayaMergev1.1 New release 2026-07-24
MayaMerge — move objects between scenes, like Merge in 3ds Max MayaMerge lets you open any file (.mb/.ma/.fbx/.obj), pick exactly the objects you need from a handy list, and bring only those into your current scene — with no junk: only the selection's own materials, skin and animation come across. Its highlight is Detach mode: you can pull a working sub-rig (say, a weapon with its control bones) out of a character as a standalone, still-animated prop, with animation and skin intact. And for total isolation there's an off-screen mode, where your scene never touches the source file at all. Who it's for: animators, riggers, and anyone who assembles scenes from pieces and is tired of dragging clutter out of other people's files.

🔧 FuryNotesv1.1.5 Update 2026-07-23
• Format several lines at once. You can now select multiple lines and make them bold, italic, strikethrough or monospace in one go. Before, this worked on a single line only. • "Keep on top" mode. A new toolbar button — right of the one that hides the note tree — keeps the window above all others, so your note stays in view. Press it again to turn it off. The state is remembered until the next launch. • "Update" button. A button in the top-right corner opens the versions page in your browser, so you can check for a newer version in one click.

🔧 FuryNotesv1.1.4 Update 2026-07-20
Links now reach your own computer: turn any word into a shortcut to a local file or folder that opens on Ctrl+click (with a prompt before it runs a program). Making web links is simpler too — a typed or copied address becomes clickable in one step. And now only one copy of the program runs at a time: launching it again brings the open window back, so two copies can't overwrite your notes.

🔧 FuryNotesv1.1 Update 2026-07-19
A notepad without the "where do I even save this?" question.
FuryNotes
🔧 FuryNotesv1.1 New release 2026-07-19
