How to Find and Download a Specific Tool on Stefans Tools

Updated

Open tools.stefankueng.com and use the tool table on the homepage: each row lists a tool's name, description, version, release date, and two links — Info for details and Download for the file. Actively maintained tools are in the main table; older, unsupported tools are in a separate section further down the page. This works for any current browser and requires no account, based on the page as published.

Reading the tool table

The homepage is organized as a single table with these columns:

Column What it tells you
Tool The name of the program
Description A one-line summary of what it does
Version The current version number
Links Info (details page) and Download (the file)
Date The release date of that version

The date appears alongside the version in the listing, so you can judge how recently a tool was updated before downloading. For example, BowPad shows version 2.9.6 dated September 24, 2025, while CommitMonitor shows 1.12.1 dated April 27, 2018 — a quick signal of maintenance activity.

Step-by-step: locating one tool

  1. Scan the Tool column for the name you want. The list is alphabetical, which makes scanning fast.
  2. Confirm with the Description that it matches your need — several tools have similar-sounding purposes (for instance, CryptSync vs. EvImSync both involve syncing).
  3. Check the Version and Date to see whether the build is recent.
  4. Click Info if you want the details page before committing; click Download to get the file directly.
  5. If the tool isn't in the main table, scroll to the lower section headed as no longer actively supported — it may still be listed there.

What's in the main table

The actively listed tools, as shown on the page:

  • BowPad — simple, fast text editor with a ribbon UI (2.9.6, Sep 24, 2025)
  • CommitMonitor — monitors SVN repositories and notifies on new commits (1.12.1, Apr 27, 2018)
  • CryptSync — synchronizes folder pairs, keeping one folder of each pair encrypted (1.4.11, Dec 7, 2024)
  • Evernote2Onenote — imports Evernote notebooks into OneNote (1.3.6, Nov 30, 2023)
  • DemoHelper — draw on your screen, magnify, and similar presentation aids (2.1.1, Nov 2, 2023)
  • FileTool — lock files and create files/folders of any size (1.0.0, Jan 19, 2013)
  • grepWin — fast search using regular expressions (2.1.12, Sep 24, 2025)
  • SendMessage — developer tool to send Windows messages to any window (1.2.1, Dec 18, 2021)
  • SKTimeStamp — change file dates from Explorer (1.3.7, Feb 25, 2023)
  • StExBar — customizable Explorer add-on (1.11.2, Jan 15, 2021)
  • tabspace — command-line batch converter between tabs and spaces (1.1.7, Oct 11, 2022)

Legacy tools in the lower section

Tools no longer actively supported are grouped separately, still with Info and Download links:

  • AAClr — change Aero colors to match the wallpaper (Windows 7 only; later Windows versions do this natively)
  • EvImSync — sync Evernote notes with Gmail and vice versa
  • FavIconizer — persist favorite icons in Internet Explorer
  • MailNoter — capture web content and email it
  • TrafficWatcher — monitor network traffic

If you need one of these, expect no further updates; the page presents them as possibly still useful rather than maintained.

Common snags

  • Looking for a tool that isn't listed: the page only covers Stefan Küng's own tools. If the name doesn't appear in either table, it isn't hosted here.
  • Confusing Info with Download: Info opens the details page; Download retrieves the file. Use Info first if you're unsure the tool fits.
  • Assuming a recent date means active support: check which table the tool sits in — the lower section is explicitly unsupported regardless of its date.
  • Old release dates: several tools (FileTool, CommitMonitor) haven't been updated in years; that's expected for stable utilities but worth noting before relying on them.

The page footer links to GitHub and shows the site's last-updated timestamp, which is a useful final check that the listing you're reading is current.
