A Windows 7-style file manager polished to a mirror shine: tabbed browsing, a preview pane, and a USB device panel that logs every drive that connects — with per-drive Safe Eject, and deletes that go to the Recycle Bin, never permanent by default.
A complete screen-capture studio: full screen, window, or region capture with a magnifier loupe for pixel-perfect selection, a built-in editor with arrows, callouts, and blur redaction, and a searchable capture history. Everything runs locally — no account, no cloud, no subscription.

Original worlds, built in-house. Every title runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
The studio's flagship multiplayer fantasy game with an authoritative server and game client, accounts and login, and persistent characters you keep between sessions. No open-world PvP — monthly tournaments and consensual duels only — parties of up to eight, and online play with no port forwarding. Still in active development.
Coming soonSolve original whodunits with AI detectives and an AI host, solo or with friends over LAN and online via the Wicksdom relay with six-character room codes. Ships with three mystery packs and a procedural mansion generator for a fresh layout every game.
Coming soonAn original-IP strategy board game set in the Shattered Reaches, where the first player to 12 victory points wins across six resources: timber, brick, grain, iron, wool, and desert. Play against AI opponents or online, with full save and load.
Coming soonA family-friendly, party-based dungeon crawler with a dice roller, procedural dungeons, and fog of war, starring four hero archetypes: Warrior, Trickster, Mystic, and Warden. Teen-friendly rules: foes "bonk out" and heroes at 0 HP are "dazed — never dead", with mid-session save and load.
Coming soonA classic real-time strategy game: build your economy, raise an army, and research technologies through a six-scenario campaign following Aldor's stand against warlord Morbek, opening with a guided tutorial. Skirmish against 1-3 AI opponents or go online with six-character room codes, using classic box-select and right-click orders.
Coming soonA cinematic sci-fi first-person shooter built on the studio's own engine: tactical gunplay, a gripping original-universe campaign, and a HUD tuned to stay out of your way. Teen-friendly, no borrowed IP.
Coming soonA lush action-adventure through jungle temples and forgotten ruins with a crew of four heroes — Chart, Tink, Nyx, and Rook — gadgets, puzzles, and secrets around every corner. Original IP, family-friendly.
Coming soonA cheerful 3D platformer starring five springy heroes — swap between them mid-level with swap-stones, chain bounce-streaks for bigger rewards, and explore a valley that changes seasons as you play. Original characters and monsters with classic platforming charm.
Coming soonYour retro library, forged anew: play your NES games on modern PCs with a polished library, save states, and Wicksdom's enhancement engine. Bring your own ROMs dumped from cartridges you own.

A PDF reader built on the studio's own engine, with thumbnails, zoom, and search, plus Merge, Split, Rotate, Compress, Watermark, Extract, Organize, AcroForm fill, and Annotate. An offline helper answers questions and writes summaries.
Record or import voice notes and clean them up in one click, with a cleanup-strength picker from Gentle to Maximum. Imports MP3, M4A, OGG, and FLAC, and exports to WAV.
Record your voice and reshape its tone and character: mic recording, WAV, MP3, and M4A import, a waveform editor, eight toggleable effects, eight one-click presets, Bypass A/B, and WAV export with normalize. DSP effects only — no AI voice cloning, no true accent conversion.
Your own AnyDesk-style remote desktop built for your home LAN, where either side can share or control. Pairs with a six-digit code plus TLS certificate fingerprint verification; LAN-only, no account, no internet.
A browser extension for Chrome and Edge: right-click any PDF link to open it in your favorite reader. Adds a toolbar button and optional auto-open.
A full hardware and software audit of your PC, with exports to TXT, CSV, HTML, and PDF. Includes tools to Refresh Audit, Recover License Keys, Find Printers, and Print Report.
Renames messy media filenames into clean, Plex-ready names. Every rename is journaled with full undo.
Finds duplicates by reading actual file content, not just names. Matches go to quarantine — moved, never deleted — with journaled restore, and it never removes the last copy.
Converts, resizes, and watermarks whole folders of images at once.
Every copied text is saved to a searchable on-computer history. Separate Pause and Unpause buttons when you don't want it listening.
One click tells you in plain English why your internet feels slow: DNS timing, gateway and 8.8.8.8 ping, a roughly 10MB download speed test, and Wi-Fi signal strength, with a copyable report.
Double-entry bookkeeping where every dollar moves through the ledger, so debits always equal credits. Bank imports are staged for your review before posting, receipt scanning with OCR suggests entries you confirm, history is void-never-delete, and it exports for H&R Block.
An AI marketing assistant that drafts one tailored post per platform with the right length, tone, and hashtags, with a content-calendar queue, engagement log, and brand kit. It never posts by itself — nothing goes out without your approval, a gate that cannot be turned off — and all data stays on your PC.
A full anime production pipeline: Script with a screenplay editor, story bible, and plot checker; Character with a 2D designer and puppet rigs; Scene with timeline, keyframes, and camera; Voice & Lip Sync; and Render & Export to MP4. Voice is placeholder for now, and AI drawing and animation are long-term research.
Pip the postman lives in a tiny post office at the bottom of your screen, watching your email for packages and important mail and popping out to announce them. Click him to open the carrier's tracking page, and email setup is 90% automatic with passwords staying on your PC.
One place to update every Wicksdom app on your PC: it scans installed apps and checks for newer versions. Update All verifies each installer's SHA-256 signature, installs silently, then refreshes the icon cache.
Play and enhance your retro games, with video enhancement modes — clean, smooth, and vivid HD plus a CRT classic mode — audio enhancement modes, and XInput, DirectInput, and keyboard input with real rumble. The neural enhancement modes want an NVIDIA RTX GPU to shine.
The studio's own Steam-like launcher for its games: library, downloads, and updates in one place. An RSA-signed manifest with hash checks on every file, and per-game tiles.
Your own private AI image server for your PC, with an Automatic1111-compatible text-to-image API and a five-step setup wizard; start and stop it from the control app. The server is ours; the Stable Diffusion XL model weights download to your PC separately.
Interactive desktop buddies, and version 4 adds Reddy, a little red pickup truck that vrooms around, does burnouts, and honks when poked — rendered in a rich painterly style with his own garage world. Group activities include board game night, tag, and dance parties, mail announcements from the post office, and they can grab a desktop icon, carry it a little way, then snap it back to its exact spot.
Four original cartoon pals — Vendall the vending machine, Slim the slime, Webby the spider, and Eggbert the dragon egg — in a roughly 44-second animated desktop loop.
An on-demand file scanner for macOS: SHA-256 signature checks plus suspicious-file heuristics, with quarantine that offers restore or permanent delete, and quick scan covers common malware footholds. On-demand only, no real-time protection; Mac only.
Word, Sheet, and Slides — a full office suite that opens and saves the formats you already use. Pay once, own it forever, no subscription.
The next generation of the Wicksdom File Explorer: everything you love about the current version, rebuilt faster and sleeker with a fresh look.
A streaming studio for creators: build scenes, preview everything, and let the stream doctor keep your broadcast healthy.
Your Xtream command center: a live dashboard for your streams, playlists, and program guide — running on your own credentials, nothing in the cloud.
Animated wallpapers that live on your desktop — rainy streets, cozy scenes, and more — with a strict idle budget so your PC never breaks a sweat.
A four-stage maker pipeline: design, prepare, build, and finish — one polished app for your workshop projects.
Tune and monitor your ride: a vehicle ECU dashboard plus an Android companion app, with limp-mode safety built in.
Turn a tablet into the ultimate couch remote: big friendly buttons for your TV, sound, and streaming — plus an optional IR blaster bar that talks to any television.
The studio's own operating system: a Debian-based Linux distribution with the KDE Plasma desktop, with gaming, chat, and office built in from first boot, running Windows software through compatibility layers. In development — the first alpha is being built now.
Wicksdom Software Works is an independent studio founded by Jonathan Wicks, building original games and genuinely useful software. Everything is made in-house — no borrowed IP, no filler — with one goal: products worth your time and money.
