yyzTools
Command palette, OCR, translate, file search, wallpapers
I tracked my workflow for a week and discovered I was making 5-7 app switches for simple tasks—taking a screenshot, running OCR, translating text, copying to clipboard. That's 15 steps, 4 apps, ~45 seconds per iteration, done 25+ times per day.
So I built yyzTools to fuse everything into one workflow: screenshot → OCR → translate → clipboard, all in one window. That cut it to 5 steps, ~8 seconds per iteration. The time savings (~2 hours/day) come from eliminating context switching, not from faster individual tools.
Key insight: Integration beats feature count. The power isn't 40+ tools—it's how they flow together.

Ten Windows utilities, one app. I'm building yyzTools — a local-first command palette with 379 modules — and sharing the whole journey, numbers included.
