rsync is an open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer, freely available under the GNU General Public License and maintained by Andrew Tridgell. It uses the rsync algorithm to bring remote files into sync by sending just the differences across the link. Some features include updating whole directory trees and optionally preserving symbolic links, hard links, file ownership, permissions, devices and times.
Remove Empty Directories (RED) is an open source tool that batch deletes empty folders. It recursively searches below a start folder and shows empty directories before deleting them. It supports multiple delete modes, including deleting to the recycle bin, filter lists for white and black listing, and can treat directories containing empty files as empty.
PowerRename is a Windows utility from PowerToys for bulk file renaming. It performs search-and-replace and regular expression renames across multiple selected files, shows expected results in a preview window before finalizing, and allows the operation to be undone after completion. Options include matching all occurrences and case sensitivity, with application limited to filename or extension.
tinyMediaManager is a media management tool written in Java and Swing that provides metadata for media centers such as Kodi, Emby, Jellyfin and Plex. It searches for media on hard disks and builds an internal database, scrapes metadata and artwork from sources including TheMovieDB.org and Fanart.tv, and writes NFO files to disk. It runs on Windows, Linux and macOS and also supports command line and HTTP API use.
VERNAM is a free, open-source file encryption tool that runs entirely in the browser. It encrypts any file with a passphrase using XChaCha20-Poly1305 and Argon2id, and no files or passwords are uploaded. It is published by PrivacyTools.io and offers an optional high security mode with heavier key derivation.
LockHunter is a free 32- and 64-bit Windows tool for deleting files blocked by unknown processes. It shows locking processes with detailed information and allows unlocking, deleting, copying or renaming locked files, killing locking processes, unloading DLLs, and deleting files at the next OS restart. Deleted files go to the recycle bin so they can be restored. It integrates with the Explorer menu.
FreeFileSync is a free open source data backup application for comparing and synchronizing files and folders on Windows, macOS and Linux. It determines differences between a source and target folder and transfers only the minimum data needed rather than copying every file. The website also references a separate Business Edition available for license extension.
