What Windows utilities does Ramen Software offer?

Ramen Software is a small software studio run by developer Michael Maltsev that publishes a focused collection of free Windows utilities. The catalog is small but each tool targets a specific gap in Windows: taskbar behavior, copying text from stubborn dialogs, inspecting UWP/WinUI apps, and more. If you want to know which tool fits your problem, the list below maps each utility to what it actually does.

The main utilities

Windhawk

Windhawk is described as "the customization marketplace for Windows programs." Instead of shipping one fixed set of options, it lets you apply available code snippets (mods) to customize Windows programs, or write your own customizations. This is the most actively developed product in the collection — recent posts cover mods like taskbar reordering within and between groups, a multirow taskbar for Windows 11, and a classic context menu for the taskbar, plus releases such as v1.7 (pre-compiled mods) and v1.6 (ARM64 support and better compatibility).

Choose Windhawk if you want ongoing, community-style customization of Windows behavior rather than a single-purpose tweaker.

7+ Taskbar Tweaker

A program for tweaking the taskbar of Windows 7, 8, and 10. It provides many customization options, such as disabling grouping and middle-click to close. Note the version scope: it is aimed at Windows 7, 8, and 10, not Windows 11 — for Windows 11 taskbar changes, the recent posts point toward Windhawk mods instead.

Textify

A tool for Windows to copy text from dialogs and controls that don't otherwise allow it. This is the practical answer when you need to grab an error message, a label, or a value from a window that won't let you select the text.

UWPSpy

An inspection tool for UWP and WinUI 3 applications. It lets you view and manipulate UI elements and their properties in real time — useful for debugging or understanding how a modern Windows app is built.

Multiline Ultimate Assembler

A multiline assembler and disassembler plugin for x64dbg and OllyDbg. It is intended for modifying and extending the functionality of a compiled executable, so it belongs in a reverse-engineering or debugging workflow rather than everyday desktop use.

7+ Taskbar Numberer

Adds numbers to the buttons on the taskbar. The stated use cases are speech recognition software users and the Win+# keyboard shortcuts — if you rely on either, numbering the buttons makes them easier to target.

winapiexec

A tiny tool for running WinAPI functions through command-line parameters. Useful when you want to call a Windows API function without writing a program.

RAR Unlocker

Views RAR archive attributes and sets or removes the archive lock attribute, which protects an archive from modifications.

Quick comparison

Things to know before you pick one

• Windows version matters. 7+ Taskbar Tweaker explicitly covers Windows 7, 8, and 10. For Windows 11 taskbar changes, the site's recent posts point to Windhawk mods.
• Some tools are niche by design. Multiline Ultimate Assembler and winapiexec assume you already work with debugging or the Windows API; they aren't general desktop utilities.
• Older or unmaintained software is separated out. The site notes that old software no longer maintained or no longer relevant lives on an Archive page, so check there if you're looking for something not listed above.
• Each tool has its own homepage, discussion, download, and code links, so you can go straight to the specific utility rather than browsing a bundle.

If your goal is simply "make Windows behave differently," start with Windhawk. If you have one concrete annoyance — taskbar grouping, unselectable text, a locked RAR — the single-purpose tools above are the more direct fit.
