Outfit Tool

What Modules Are Included?

Features:

• Non-intrusive — the program runs from the system tray. All utilities are invoked by a hotkey you assign or via the context menu.
• Calculator - simple, with settings for auto-rounding and auto-copying the result to the clipboard.
• Eye Dropper works across the entire screen and features a magnifier controlled by the mouse wheel. The result is presented in 3 formats at once — RGB, HSV, and WEB. For manual color selection, you can use the «Color Picker» tool with a convenient palette panel.
• With the countdown timer, you can set any time — from 10 seconds to several days. Upon expiration, an audible signal will sound.
• Mail Agent allows you to configure mail checking via the IMAP protocol on multiple mailboxes. When a new email arrives, you will be notified by a pop-up window showing the sender's email and the subject line, and the program icon will start blinking. Mail Agent differs from a heavyweight email client — the mail itself is not downloaded to the computer, notifications appear instantly, and all work happens in the background — nothing unnecessary. Passwords for mailboxes are not sent anywhere except to the mail server and are stored only on the client in an encrypted form, with the encryption key tied to the computer. Another feature — the mail agent is universal and can be connected to any mail service that supports the IMAP protocol.

Creation History

Originally, back in 2010, the program was conceived as a freeware mini-organizer intended for taking notes and reminding myself about important tasks deferred for "later."

After trying many similar programs, I concluded that some of them lacked the necessary functionality, while others were too large in size and cumbersome to use. So, I decided to write the needed functionality myself :)

Unlike its analogues, OutFit-Tool had a number of advantages — ease of management, "quiet" operation in the system tray, and a wide range of settings.

Starting with version 2.0, the program was supplemented with a set of tools: a convenient calculator invoked by a key press, a lunar calendar allowing the calculation of lunar days, the moon phase, and the zodiac sign the moon is in, and a small stopwatch.

In 2018, the need arose to replace the mail agent of a well-known company with something that actually worked. The main requirements were unobtrusiveness, support for multiple mailboxes, timely notification of incoming emails, and the program's "lightness."

The source code for Outfit Tool 2.8 was retrieved, all unnecessary parts were removed from it — the calendar and notes list (there are many note services, organizers, GTD utilities, and lunar calendars on the Internet — more modern and functional than a 2010 product) — and a mail agent was added.

In 2025, the program was rewritten in WPF, a modular system was added, and the source code and API were opened.

The result — version 3.0. Give it a try, you'll like it!

Future Plans

There are no specific plans at the moment — version 3 support, bug fixes, and improvements.
