Pod2Folder reads the iPod’s own library, lets you pick playlists, artists, albums or songs, and copies them into a folder on your PC. Coming soon to the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 and 11. See Classic Desktop on the Store How it works From drawer-iPod to a tidy folder of music in four steps. STEP 1Plug in your iPodConnect any non-iOS iPod in disk mode — Classic, Nano (1st to 7th generation), Mini or Shuffle. Several at once is fine; you choose which one to read. STEP 2Pick your musicBrowse the iPod’s own library by Playlist, Artist, Album or Song, with drill-down and tick-boxes at every level — plus Select all and Invert. STEP 3Choose the layoutPick a destination folder and how to organise it — one flat folder, Artist Album Track, or by Playlist — with your preferred file-naming scheme. STEP 4Click Start CopyPod2Folder copies the music and embeds each track’s album artwork into the file, so your recovered library looks right in any music app. Why Pod2Folder Built for the iPods other tools choke on — a clean, modern utility that does one job well. Every non-iOS iPodClassic, Nano 1–7, Mini and Shuffle — including the awkward late-model Nanos and Shuffles that other tools choke on, not just the common models. Artwork intactThe iPod stores album art separately from the music. Pod2Folder reads each track’s cover from the device and... Available now · Microsoft Store Backup2Many Always-on backup — even the files that are open. Backup2Many keeps a second, always-up-to-date copy of your files, copying changes as they happen and verifying every copy. Available now on the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 and 11. Get it from the Microsoft Store How it works Set up a job once, and your backup stays moments behind your working files. STEP 1Create a backup jobPick a source folder and a destination — another internal drive, an external or USB disk, or a network share / NAS. Add as many jobs as you like. STEP 2It watches and copiesIn real-time mode, each change is mirrored moments after it happens. Open and locked files are captured safely with a Windows Volume Shadow Copy snapshot. STEP 3Every copy is verifiedEach file is checked with a SHA-256 hash after it is written, so you know the backup is a byte-for-byte match of the original. STEP 4Stay in controlWatch live status and progress, review any failures with one-click retry, and read a full activity log. It keeps running in the background after you log off. Why Backup2Many Real-time, verified and resilient — no accounts, no cloud, nothing uploaded anywhere. Backs up open filesDocuments open in Word or Excel, databases in use, mailbox files locked by your email client — Backup2Many reads them through a VSS snapshot instead of failing with a “file in use” error.

Coming soon to the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 and 11. See Classic Desktop on the Store How it works Four steps from a folder of mixed documents to a tidy set of converted files. STEP 1Add files or foldersDrop in individual documents or point Docs2Many at a folder. Every subfolder is scanned and every supported file is added to the queue.

Frequently asked questions about Classic Desktop apps — Reflect Today and Audio2Many: recording and camera issues, supported audio formats, conversion, privacy, pricing and system requirements. Help & answers Frequently asked questions Answers to common questions about Classic Desktop apps. Jump to the section for the product you are using. Reflect Today My recording is just a frozen still image — often a “standby” or “taking a break” picture. Why? Some webcams do not switch off when they go idle. Instead of a live picture, they keep sending your PC a single “standby” or “privacy” image. Gimbal and AI-tracking webcams are the usual culprits: the Insta360 Link, for example, parks its lens and shows a standby card when it is asleep, and cameras such as the OBSBOT Tiny series behave similarly when their companion app has put them into a sleep or privacy mode. If you start recording while the camera is in that state, Reflect Today records exactly what the camera is sending — so the whole clip becomes that one standby image. This is not a fault in Reflect Today; the camera simply never woke up. To fix it: before you record, make sure the camera is awake and showing a live picture. Point a gimbal camera forward so its lens is not parked, open the camera’s own app (such as Insta360 Link Controller) to take it out of standby or privacy mode, and turn off any automatic sleep. Once the preview in Reflect Today shows live video, your recording will capture it normally. Reflect Today says it cannot access my camera or microphone. Windows controls which apps may use your camera and microphone....

Effective date: 2 June 2026 Last updated: 11 June 2026 This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled by the Windows desktop applications published by Christopher Fitzsimons, trading as Classic Desktop ("Classic Desktop", "we", "us", "our") and distributed through the Microsoft Store. It currently applies to Reflect Today, Audio2Many, Video2Many, and CompPDF, and to other Classic Desktop applications as they are released. It is separate from the privacy policy that covers this website. The short version Classic Desktop applications are local-only. Everything you create or import stays on your own PC. We do not collect it, transmit it, upload it, or have any access to it. We do not run accounts, analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking. We never see your files, recordings, transcripts, or anything else you do in the app. The only network activity is (a) Microsoft Store licence validation and update checks, and (b) where a specific app feature needs it, narrowly-scoped lookups described in that app's section below. Your content is not part of any of that traffic. 1. Who is responsible for your information The applications are published by Christopher Fitzsimons, trading as Classic Desktop, a sole trader based in the United Kingdom. Because the applications keep all of your content on your own device and we never receive it, there is very little personal information for which we act as a controller.

STEP 3Answer everything up frontBefore compression starts, every document is checked and any questions — passwords, signatures, filename clashes — are asked then, so the batch never stops halfway. STEP 4Compress and reviewThe whole queue compresses in one run, each row filling in its new size and saving, and an end-of-run report lists the result of every file. Why CompPDF A clean, focused batch compressor — no ads, no accounts, no cloud. Your documents stay on your PC. Nothing is uploadedUnlike web-based PDF compressors, CompPDF does all of its work on your own PC. Contracts, statements, and records never leave your machine — there is nothing to upload and no service to trust.

Buy once and own it: no subscriptions, accounts, or telemetry. About Classic Desktop Small, focused desktop tools for the people who still get most of their work done on a Windows PC. Why Classic Desktop exists For thirty years, Windows shipped with a quiet drawer of small, focused utilities — WordPad, Sound Recorder, Paint, a calculator that just worked. They started up instantly, did one job, and got out of the way. They were not glamorous. They were trusted. Most of those tools are gone or buried, and a lot of what replaces them now wants an account, a subscription, an internet connection and a few minutes of your attention before it will let you do anything. Classic Desktop is a small range of utilities that goes the other way: open, do the job, close. No login, no quota, no cloud. The developer Classic Desktop is built by a UK-based solo developer with more than thirty-five years of Windows desktop experience — a career spanning early Windows desktop development, IBM middleware integration, and a long list of shipped consumer and developer tools. Small teams build different software. There is nobody to talk you out of an obvious feature. There is nobody to insist on a dashboard you do not need. Each Classic Desktop product is designed and written by one person who has to use it himself the next morning. How we sell All Classic Desktop products are sold exclusively through the Microsoft Store. Pay once, install on the PCs covered by your Microsoft account, get updates as long as... Support and FAQs for Classic Desktop apps. System requirements, reporting a bug, refunds, free trials, and how to get in touch. Support Answers, and a way to reach us when there isn't one. Frequently asked questions When will products be available? Reflect Today is available now on the Microsoft Store. More Classic Desktop products are in development — join the newsletter and you will get an email when each one launches. Will you offer a free trial? Yes. Reflect Today includes a free 15-day trial through the Microsoft Store — install it, use the full app, and buy from inside it only if you decide to keep it. Trial details for future products will be confirmed as each one launches. Do products work on Windows 7 or 8? No. Classic Desktop targets Windows 10 (version 1809 or later) and Windows 11. Older versions of Windows are no longer supported by Microsoft and we will not work around that. Will there be a Mac or Linux version? No. Classic Desktop is Windows-only by design. Every product is written to feel native to Windows, not to be a cross-platform compromise. What is your refund policy? Purchases are made through the Microsoft Store, so the standard Microsoft Store refund policy applies. Refund requests are handled by Microsoft, not by us. How do I report a bug? Use the contact form. Please include the product name, the version (Help → About), your Windows version, and a short description of what you saw and what you expected. Didn't find what you needed? Send us a message and we'll get back to you.

STEP 2Choose an output formatPick one format for the whole batch — MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV and more. Sample rate, channels and bit depth are matched to the source where the format allows. STEP 3Set the output folderChoose where converted files are written, and what happens if a file of that name already exists: keep both, overwrite, skip, or be asked each time. STEP 4Convert and reviewSeveral files convert at once. When the run finishes, an end-of-run report lists the result of every file and flags anything that did not convert.

How long we keep... ## Posts Reflect Today 1.1.0 is out on the Microsoft Store, adding offline transcription in English, French, German and Spanish plus a refreshed interface. Still local-only, still a one-time £14.99 purchase with a free 15-day trial. Reflect Today 1. 1. 0 is out now on the Microsoft Store. This release extends the app's offline transcription to multiple languages and refreshes the interface — while keeping everything that makes Reflect Today what it is: local-only, no account, no cloud. What's new in 1. 1. 0 Multilingual transcription. Reflect Today now transcribes your sessions in English, French, German and Spanish, with more European languages planned in future versions. As before, recognition runs entirely on your own PC — nothing is uploaded, whichever language you record in. Refreshed interface. The browse and recording views have been tidied up. Updated screenshots are on the product page. Everything else is unchanged: record video sessions against any day on the calendar, browse and search across every recording's title, description and transcript, and export self-describing MP4s with your notes and transcript embedded in the file. Your entries stay in a local folder you choose. Still local-only, still a one-time purchase Reflect Today remains a one-time purchase of £14. 99 on the Microsoft Store, with a free 15-day trial. No subscription, no telemetry, no cloud. If you already own it, 1. 1. 0 is a free update through the Microsoft Store. Get it on the Microsoft StoreSee full details CompPDF is now live on the Microsoft Store. It is a focused batch PDF compressor for Windows with one promise the web tools cannot make: your documents never leave your PC. Point it at a folder, and every PDF inside is compressed in one run — passwords handled, signatures managed properly. What it does Add individual files or whole folders — every subfolder is scanned and every PDF queued in a sortable, multi-select list. Four optimisations, each under your control: image recompression at a chosen quality, font optimisation, page-content optimisation, and metadata removal. Password-protected PDFs are prompted up front, before the run starts — and the same password is re-applied to the compressed copy. Digitally signed PDFs are flagged honestly — re-saving always invalidates a signature, in every tool — with optional re-signing using your own certificate. An end-of-run report lists every file's original size, new size, and saving. Nothing is uploaded People compress contracts, statements, medical and HR paperwork — exactly the documents you would rather not hand to a web service. CompPDF does all of its work locally on your PC; the only network traffic is Microsoft Store licence validation. No accounts, no upload limits, no third party seeing your documents. Price Update (23 July 2026): from version 1. 0. 1. 0, CompPDF is completely free on the Microsoft Store — no purchase, no trial and no subscription. Get it on the Microsoft Store. Get it on the Microsoft StoreSee full details Video2Many is now live on the Microsoft Store. It is the video sibling of Audio2Many — a focused batch video converter with one trick the free tools rarely lead with: when a file only needs re-packaging, it converts losslessly, in seconds. What it does Add individual files or whole folders — every subfolder is scanned and every readable video file is queued. Pick one output format for the batch — MP4 (H. 264 or HEVC), WebM (VP9 or AV1), WMV, AVI or Ogg — and set resolution, frame rate and bitrate, or leave them matched to the source. A Plan column shows, before you start, which files will be remuxed losslessly and which will be re-encoded. Tags and cover art are carried across to each converted file where the container supports it. An end-of-run report lists every file's result, including whether it was remuxed or re-encoded. Lossless when possible A surprising amount of “convert to MP4” is really re-packaging — an MKV that already holds the right video. Video2Many spots those files and copies the streams across with no re-encoding and no quality loss. Everything runs entirely on your PC; the only time it reaches the internet is to check your Microsoft Store licence and for updates. Price Update (23 July 2026): from version 1. 0. 1. 0, Video2Many is completely free on the Microsoft Store — no purchase, no trial and no subscription. Get it on the Microsoft Store. Get it on the Microsoft StoreSee full details Audio2Many is now live on the Microsoft Store. It is the second Classic Desktop app — a focused batch audio converter that follows the same principle as the rest of the range: your files stay on your own machine. What it does Add individual files or whole folders — every subfolder is scanned and every readable audio file is queued. Convert the whole batch to one output format, several files at a time — up to eight in parallel. Reads 33 audio formats and writes to 18, from MP3, AAC and FLAC to tracker modules and studio PCM formats. Each converted file is matched to its source — sample rate, channels and bit depth carried through where the format allows — with tags and album artwork copied across. An end-of-run report lists every file's result and flags anything that did not convert. Local by design Web converters mean uploading your library and living with quotas. Audio2Many runs entirely on your PC — no upload limits, no monthly allowance, no third party seeing your files. The only time it reaches the internet is to check your Microsoft Store licence and for updates. Price Update (23 July 2026): from version 1. 0. 1. 0, Audio2Many is completely free on the Microsoft Store — no purchase, no trial and no subscription. Get it on the Microsoft Store.
