Our fellow student, Abel, urgently needs our help as he recovers from a severe injury. Let's come together as a school community to support him in his time of need.

Please contribute whatever you can using the bank account in the poster above and share this post across your groups and networks to help spread the word.

These days, it is rarely malware or viruses that slow down our devices. It is the legit apps we install. Apps we barely use often register background services and scheduled tasks. Disabling them from the Task Manager is not enough. The Services and Task management apps on Windows are also hard to navigate.

So, I built SystemCtrl. It is a simple app that lets you control all the registered services and scheduled tasks from one interface. No unnecessary information. It tells you their status, and you can enable/disable them. For the ones you toggle frequently, you can pin them so they appear first when you open. It also has AI summarization to understand more about the service or task you are dealing with.

It is open source and on GitHub. Check it out at https://github.com/Abdesol/SystemCtrl

You can get the latest build at https://github.com/Abdesol/SystemCtrl/releases/tag/latest-build
(Currently available only on windows. Support for Linux and macOS is coming soon!)

Feedback and contributions are welcome!

some features you may not have noticed:
- on right click on services/tasks, you can pin, open, start/stop the services and tasks
- when you close the app at a certain size and position, it opens with that size and that position when you open it again

btw, the ai part, you add your own gemini api key in settings. And dw, it is saved locally.

You can really get to understand some of the services/tasks with weird names using the ai summary

this new .NET library by wieslaw is insane. Especially for those of us developing cross-platform apps with Avalonia/Uno. We are limited when it comes to variety of complex controls. We can use the complex controls from js/ts space and host them in our .NET projects.

It is different from webview, cuz, webview hosts the whole browser engine while this one replaces the browser engine's properties with a native presenter instead. It keeps it simple, performant and on a low memory consumption than webview.

It is early now, but I see a good future in it. Check it out!
