Windows desktop software
Twenty-six Windows applications for the work a business actually does every day — staying logged in to six portals at once, marking up a PDF, fixing a PC across the office, getting last Tuesday's file back, and knowing exactly what is installed on every machine. Each installs in a minute, runs on its own, and sends nothing anywhere.
The suite
Every one is a separate program — install only what you need. They share a look and a set of shortcuts, so learning one is most of learning the next.
One window, every login. Each colour group is a completely separate browser session, so six accounts on the same portal stay open side by side.
Open a 7z, zip or rar, walk through it, and take out only what you want — or squeeze files into one archive with a password.
Read a PDF, search it, mark it up, sign it, pull pages out of it, or turn it into text and images. No subscription, no upload.
See and control another PC — across the office or across the country. One app at both ends, and nobody has to choose a mode.
Which folders, where to put them, and when — vBack does the rest on the clock, including while nobody is logged in.
The editor for the files Notepad will not open — and the one that tells you what encoding it read them as, instead of quietly guessing.
Move files to a server and know what happened to each one — including the four that failed while the other hundred and ninety-six went up.
Rename two hundred files at once — and see the new name beside the old one for every single file before anything is touched.
One key, drag, done — saved and on the clipboard. Then mark it up, and hide anything that should not be in a picture you are about to send.
Tabs, a history that outlives the window, and every shell on the machine in one place — with a real console behind it rather than a pipe.
Sort out the titles, artists and covers on a music collection that is already on the disk — forty files at a time, without touching the audio.
See what music you actually have — by album, artist and year — and play it, without a single file being moved, renamed or copied anywhere.
Find the PDF you know you have somewhere — by title, author, year or length — with a preview beside the list, and nothing moved anywhere.
Two years of Downloads, filed away by rules you can read — after showing you the whole list of what it is about to do.
The drive is full and Windows will not say why. vSize measures the whole thing and shows you exactly where it went — as a map, and as plain answers.
Everything on your network, listed: name, address, who made it, which ports are open and what it is sharing. Name a machine once and it stays.
Everything this PC is, in one window — processor, memory in which slot, drive health, Windows build and licence, what starts with Windows.
Two panes, the keyboard, and the rest of the suite. Get this from here to there without arranging two Explorer windows first.
Know what gets installed on every PC the moment it happens — and, from the dashboard, take a screenshot on request, push a message, or update software.
Put it on one always-on PC and every other machine reports to it — the whole fleet on one dashboard, no website and nothing exposed to the internet.
Double-click anything — a scanned TIFF, a Photoshop file, a Targa, a raw file off a camera — and it opens. No plug-in, no converting it first.
Several gigabytes of caches and leftovers nobody chose to keep. vClean shows you the whole list first, then moves it to the Recycle Bin.
Tick what a new machine needs, press once, walk away. Half a day of Next, Next, Decline-the-toolbar becomes one list.
Paper into a PDF, without compressing a single page twice. See what came off the glass before anything is saved.
Every Windows setting in one list — the Control Panel, the Settings app, the management consoles and the folders nobody can name. Type three letters.
Copy and move files, and know they arrived. Every byte is hashed on the way out and the result read back to check it.
New — manage a whole office
Three parts that work as one: an agent on every PC, a server on the one that is always on, and vScreen for when you need to take the wheel. Everything a dashboard asks a PC to do rides one signed channel the PC dials out on, so no port is ever opened and nothing is exposed to the internet.
Reports what is installed, what changed and what is plugged in — and now takes instructions back.
One always-on PC collects every machine's reports. No website, no database, nothing open to the internet.
When looking is not enough, see and control the machine — with a red banner on it the whole time and the other side's consent.
In their own words
Written for the person who will actually use it, not for a feature comparison.
A normal browser keeps one cookie jar for everything, so you can be signed in as one user per site and no more. Anyone who runs several client portals, or an admin and a personal account on the same system, spends the day logging in and out.
The same application at both ends. The window shows your own ID and password on one side and a box to connect on the other, so whoever is helping and whoever needs help run the same build.
Somebody installs something on an office PC and nobody finds out until it causes a problem. On twenty machines nobody can even say what is on them, and walking round to look is an afternoon that is out of date by the next week. vLog watches, reports, and — only when you ask — does something back.
vLog Server is a separate program for the machine that is always on. Every other PC reports to it, and it keeps everything itself — there is no website to run, no database to provision, and nothing exposed to the internet. A branch in another building reports through a small script on your own website, and the server collects from there, so the router stays shut and it is all one view.
Read, search, mark up, sign and rearrange. Everything happens on the PC — no document is uploaded anywhere to be processed.
A task is three answers: which folders, where they go, and when. After that it runs on the clock — including at 2am with the machine locked and nobody logged in.
A file written on a Linux server opens as one enormous line in Notepad. A file from an older Windows program comes out with black diamonds where the quotation marks were. Both happen because Notepad decides how to read the bytes and never says which decision it made.
A folder of two hundred files goes up, four of them fail, and most clients say "done". You find out on Monday, when a page on the live site is broken.
Two hundred photos called DSC00001 through DSC00200. A folder of downloads full of brackets and version numbers. Renaming them by hand is an afternoon — renaming them with a tool that has no preview is an afternoon plus an hour working out what it actually did.
Print Screen gives you the whole screen and nowhere to put it. The Snipping Tool adds an area and then asks you to save it by hand, every time.
cmd.exe is a window from 1993: one shell per window, no tabs, and whatever you ran last week is gone. vCmd keeps the shell and replaces the window.
Half a collection has its information only in the file names; the other half has good tags and file names like track04.mp3. Neither shows up properly on a phone or in a car.
Every music program that decides where your files should live eventually gets uninstalled, and leaves the collection in a shape only it understood. vAudio keeps a list of paths and nothing else.
Invoices, manuals, contracts, scans, statements — under names like scan0043.pdf. What you remember is "the forty-page one from the supplier, early last year", and nothing shows you that.
Four hundred things over two years: installers, invoices, photographs somebody sent, six copies of the same manual. Doing it by hand is an afternoon; doing it with a tool that has no preview is worse.
Explorer works out one folder at a time, slowly, and stops the moment you click somewhere else. vSize measures the lot and draws it: the big rectangles are where the space went.
Windows shows a workgroup list that has been wrong for a decade, and the router shows leases with no names on them. vPort lists every machine — address, name, who made it, which ports are open, what it shares.
A scanned TIFF from a client, a PSD from a designer, a raw file off a camera. Windows opens none of them, and the usual answer is to install something else for each one. vShow opens all of them.
Temporary files an installer forgot to tidy away, browser caches, crash dumps, update leftovers. None of it anywhere a person would think to look — and the tools that clear it are often the bigger problem.
Find the download page, work out which button is the real one, run it, click Next four times, decline the extras, repeat. vAuto turns that into one list and one button.
Half a minute to open, an account it wants, and everything saved as scan001.pdf in a folder nobody chose. And most of them compress every page twice without saying so.
The Control Panel, the Settings app, a management console somewhere in System32, and a folder with a name like shell:common startup that is not on any menu at all.
Windows' own copy tells you it is done. It does not tell you the file that landed is the file that left — and on a USB stick, a NAS over wifi or a disk with a tired cable, that is not a theoretical difference.
Explorer answers "where is this file". Most of the day the question is "get this from here to there", and for that it makes you open two windows and line them up.
Built around the 7-Zip engine, which is bundled — so it reads what 7-Zip reads and nothing is installed alongside it.
Open it and about two seconds later you know the processor, the memory in each slot, whether the drives are healthy, which Windows build this is and whether it is activated.
The difference
Every one of these jobs has software already. Here is what is different.
No account to create, no cloud to sign in to, no document uploaded to be processed. What you open stays on the machine you opened it on. Where a tool does report — vLog — it goes only to a server you own, and it says so.
Each tool is one installer and about a minute. Nothing to provision, no database, no licence server to keep alive.
The same look, the same shortcuts, the same settings in the same place. Learn one and you are most of the way through the next.
They are ours. If your office needs one to behave differently, that is a conversation rather than a support ticket into a void.
A short screen-share is usually enough — we open the two or three that fit what you do, on your PC, with your files.
Or write to info@issmart.in — we answer the same working day.
