Hi, I'm Ronald Goodchild 👋

I'm a working IT technician (REGTeches) and I write free tools for people who look after Windows PCs, servers and home labs. Everything below is open source (MIT) - use it, change it, share it. If one of them saves you an hour, that's the whole point.

Want to help? Every repo has issues labelled good first issue and a ROADMAP.md full of ideas. Bug reports, feature ideas, screenshots and pull requests are all welcome - and Discussions are on in every repo.
