Then, you download and run an executable file, and wait for those apps to install automatically. On the Ninite website, you can choose the apps that you want to install or update on your Windows computer or device. Ninite is an online service that lets you automatically download and install popular apps for Windows, all at once.

It’s Christmas! Let’s meet the last awesome tool I’m going to write about for #nerdvent: Ninite. Especially since I’ve also managed to do Advent of Code every single day as well, and stream it live on Twitch and YouTube.Īnyway. And yes, I did actually publish a blog post every day for 25 days.

Finally, we met the incomparable Beyond Compare, gave Windows a spring clean with Autoruns, and tested our emails with Mailtrap. Week 3 we got colourful with Paletton, compressed files with 7-Zip, made beautiful images of source code with Carbon, got cracking with GitKraken, got creative with Canva and Unsplash, broadcast ourselves with OBS and got our volume controls under control with EarTrumpet. Week 2 brought us Instant Eyedropper, PowerToys and the Fira Code programming font we edited audio files with Audacity, kept an eye on our systems with Open Hardware Monitor, jumped cacti and dodged pterodactyls with the Chrome Dino Game, and wrote beautiful Markdown documents with Typora.

In the first week of #nerdvent, we resized windows with Sizer, visualised hard drive space with WinDirStat, turned our iPhones into webcams using Camo, powered up Windows with the X-Box Game Bar, kept on top of timezones with WClock, managed all our social media apps with Franz, and tunnelled the internet to our local machines with ngrok. Happy Christmas, friends! Have we saved the best for last? Well, I’ll let you decide… we’ve had 24 days of fantastic tools, utilities, websites and apps.
