unified-toolbox

Project Overview

Unified Toolbox is a portable collection of Windows desktop utilities that packs hardware diagnostics, clipboard enhancement, disk cleanup, a software manager, quick launch, and small tools into a single exe. It is hand-written with Python and the built-in graphics library, needs no extra runtime, does all its work locally, and collects no data.

A nineteen-megabyte program that knocks out a pile of system maintenance.

Key Features

• Hardware diagnostics: live CPU, memory, and GPU gauges, plus disk health, startup items, and processes
• Clipboard enhancement: keeps text and image history with search, pinning, category filters, and a quick-paste panel
• Image recognition: OCR on clipboard images, plus plain-text conversion and text tools
• Space cleanup: scans system junk, empty folders, and large files, with a directory size treemap and full-text search
• Software manager: uninstall installed apps, one-click upgrades, preinstalled software checks, and leftover scanning
• File insights: query file locks, view directory sizes, and manage restore points
• Quick launch: one-click access to frequent programs, folders, and URLs
• Utility tools: system floating window, scheduled shutdown and restart, and a magnifier
• New-PC inspection: a checklist for configuration, disks, drivers, activation, and dead pixels, with an exportable report
• Global hotkeys: shortcuts for the clipboard panel, page jumps, and window pinning

Target Audience

• Users who maintain Windows regularly
• People who want an all-in-one system toolkit
• Staff handling new-PC delivery and inspection
• Users who prefer portable, offline tools

Quick Start

1. Download UnifiedToolbox.exe from Releases
2. Double-click it; the first run creates a config file in your user directory
3. Pick a module on the left and follow the prompts
4. Press Ctrl + Alt + V for the quick clipboard panel and press Enter to paste back
5. Closing the window minimizes to the tray by default; double-click the tray icon to restore

Core Advantages

• Portable: runs from a single file with no Python or extra runtime
• Offline: core features work locally and collect no data
• Justified cleanup: a directory whitelist plus an audit log, while recently changed files are skipped
• Privacy friendly: likely passwords and tokens are skipped, and history can be cleared on exit

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
OS	Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit)
Distribution	Single exe, no installation
From source	Python 3.11

Notes

• Some cleanup and uninstall actions change the system, so confirm targets within the whitelist first
• Clipboard history is stored in plain text; do not keep sensitive content there
• Update checks only reach the network when you click, with no silent background requests
