​​

​

​

WinReducer is a very flexible software, it can be used by beginners or experienced users to create or use simple, intermediate, advanced or even more complex projects : it can fit to every users skill levels, ideas and desire !
 

​​

​​​​​​​

​UNLEASH YOUR CREATIVITY ...

​​

​​

​​​

​

Break the rules to go beyond all customization frontiers ...

 


* LIGHT

 


it requires only few Mb of storage space and few Mb of RAM
 


* PORTABLE

 


it does not require installation and can be used as a portable application ... so you can remove it or the plugins without leaving a trace on your system
 


* 100% CLEAN

 


it is certified without virus, adware, mining or other crapware using integrated or external tools (I hate those things) ... it is also certified without integrated or external data collecting system (I also hate those things), so there are no data collected about your usage or any thing else I do not know and don't care what they can imagine to earn money
==> to be clear, The WinReducer Project is only accepting money using The WinReducer Store from the official website

 


* 100% MADE BY HUMAN

 


it is certified without usage of A.I. tools ... the software is exclusively developed by winterestorm2050 as a human developer : development, programming, debug ... are all done by a human !
 


* 100% COMMUNITY

 


all WinReducer users feedback, ideas, reports and requests about the software or every individual software usage are a benefit for the entire WinReducer Project and its Community, it brings an efficient proximity to all user needs. So, please do not hesitate to share your point of views to continue to improve the work already done !

​


* SIMPLE

 

the WinReducer software uses a very simple graphical user interface to manage the software and all settings .. load or create your plugins in one unique software.

​​


* PLUGIN

​

​

a WinReducer Plugin is a small file which is loaded directly for the WinReducer software in order to extend your potential to create the most beautiful customization of your Operating System by yourself.

You can test, use or create all plugins you want without limits.

They can be created from the interface of the official "WinReducer Dev-Core" plugin.

They can be officially shared from the WinReducer Forum.

They can be officially archived from the WinReducer website in the Storage+ page.

They can be officially enhanced from the WinReducer website with your personal Creator+ page !

​


* EFFICIENT

 


with a plugin you can use only the functionalities you need without using a fat software with unneeded functionalities
 


* EASY

 


it does not require specific skills or programming language to use it ... it fits to every users needs from beginners to advanced or experienced users
 


* POWERFUL

 


you have all tools to use or create all Plugins you really need in very various domains such as audio, video, windows customization, internet, protection, monitoring, ...
 


* CREATIVE

 


it embeds an internal I.D.E. (Integrated Development Environment) named "DEV-CORE" which is separated from the rest of the software : you can use it or not ! It provides an access to The Dev-Core APIs used to create your own Plugins
 

​

* INNOVATIVE

 


don't be limited by a software G.U.I. with fixed functionalities ... you have the opportunity to :
. create your own G.U.I. with only the functionalities you need
. share your creations with the WinReducer Community

 


* LONG TERM INTERFACE

 


it provides something rare in the Windows environment : a long term GUI stability. When you create your Plugins you can use the same GUI interface for all the Windows Operating Systems in a long term development process. The purpose is to use the same GUI (you create or made by other users) despite the modifications or changes introduced in all Windows Operating Systems
 


* LONG TERM DEVELOPMENT

 


since the day 1, in 2012, The WinReducer Project is engaged in a Long Term Development, so you already get updates and improvements in the future
 


* 100% FUN

 


the development is guided by the fun : creating something from scratch is really fun, playing with ideas and share them with other users is the thing the most fun I ever done ... this is what I would like to share with you by providing the WinReducer software and the "Dev-Core I.D.E."
 


* 100% PASSION

 


the development is guided by the passion of the customization of windows ... since the beginning, all WinReducer users inspired the work already done with ideas, requests, point of views and sharing with each others

With the WinReducer software, you can get back the entire control of your own Operating System.

Add, create, remove functionalities as you wish and how you want ... to achieve the best goal you ever wanted ...
