Nir's applications are gems. They are extremely lightweight, sane and well documented, static, cost nothing and receive regular updates (19 released updates since July...) - all by one guy who actually answers his emails and blogs excellent content with regular frequency (reached out about a library based on one of his apps and he took the time to reply and explain the reasoning for not publishing as a library).
Really, the only other (windows) applications I can sing the same praise for are the sysinternals suite.
- artiszt 5y agoagreed. on that platform, forced to use it, NirSoft is indispensable and like an much appreciated breeze of fresh air -- much like Hexfiend and alike, Filebuddy, and BBEdit were already under Apple's Classic OS
- myself248 5y agoMake use of the "donate" link in the sidebar! I have no idea how much he brings in from thankful folks like us who recognize how much time he's saved us, but it's surely not as much as it should be. I set aside a chunk of money every year for supporting software authors, and Nir comes up in my list every few years.
- sundvor 5y agoHe's like the Stephen King of programming - just extremely prolific. His full list of tools is jaw dropping: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/index.html https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/index.html (The IP tools have been very helpful in the past. I've got a new install now and that's a reminder for myself to get set up again; will use the donate link too.)

- gompertz 5y agoThis is such a gem indeed! Websites like these, with small, bloat free utilities, are gone with the wind it seems. Can anyone recommend other similar websites?
