EnglishWhat Is martinstoeckli.ch?
Updated
martinstoeckli.ch is the personal homepage of developer Martin Stoeckli. It is a small, single-author site that hosts his freeware tools, programming tips, and a few practical tutorials. If you are looking for a specific utility like SilentNotes or ExplorerGenie, or for short technical write-ups on PHP, Delphi, or C#, this site is the source. It is not a commercial product site, a blog with regular news, or a software marketplace.
What the site offers
The homepage groups its content into three broad areas:
- Freeware tools — downloadable utilities for Windows and Android.
- Programming tips — short notes on PHP, Delphi, and C#.
- Utilities and tutorials — practical guides, including one on safely storing passwords and a character map.
The site describes itself as "my small home in the world wide web," which sets the expectation: content is personal, focused, and updated at the author's discretion rather than on a publishing schedule.
The freeware tools
| Tool | What it does | Platform |
|---|---|---|
| SilentNotes | A WYSIWYG note-taking app built with privacy in mind; open-source | Android and Windows |
| ExplorerGenie | An extension to the Explorer context menu, useful for copying a file path to the clipboard or opening the command line | Windows |
| ColorBug | Picks colors from anywhere on the screen | Windows |
| CopyPathMenu | Mentioned alongside the other tools as freeware | Windows |
Two details are worth noting. SilentNotes is explicitly described as open-source and privacy-oriented, which matters if you want to inspect the code or avoid cloud-dependent note apps. ExplorerGenie targets a common Windows annoyance — getting a file's full path into the clipboard without navigating folder by folder.
The homepage excerpt does not list prices, download links, or license terms for these tools beyond calling them "freeware." If cost or licensing is a deciding factor for you, check the individual tool pages rather than assuming terms from the homepage.
Programming tips and tutorials
The site collects tips for three languages the author works with:
- PHP tips
- Delphi tips
- C# tips
There is also a dedicated tutorial on safely storing passwords, which the homepage singles out as worth a look if you are interested in passwords. For anyone building authentication into an application, this is the most directly applicable piece of content on the site.
A character map utility and a note about the debugger mouse round out the utilities section.
Who this site is for
- Windows users who want small, focused utilities rather than large suites — ExplorerGenie and ColorBug fit this.
- Android or Windows users who want a privacy-conscious, open-source note app — SilentNotes fits this.
- Developers working in PHP, Delphi, or C# who want short, practical tips rather than full courses.
- Anyone learning about password storage who wants a tutorial-level explanation.
It is less useful if you need actively maintained commercial software with support contracts, or a large community forum.
How to navigate it
The homepage is the entry point. From there, jump directly to the tool or topic you need:
- Identify whether you want a tool (SilentNotes, ExplorerGenie, ColorBug, CopyPathMenu) or reference material (PHP/Delphi/C# tips, password tutorial).
- Follow the corresponding section on the homepage.
- For tools, look for the individual tool page to confirm platform, download, and any license details — the homepage only summarizes.
The site is in English. There is no indication of a login requirement or paid tier, but the homepage also does not state pricing, so treat "freeware" as the author's label and verify specifics on each tool's page.
