Every tool gets its own page with its own options — search it, open it, set what you need, run it.

A rebuilt utility suite for Windows: file and folder work, text and data, encoding and hashing, images, PDFs, media, documents, network diagnostics, system and disk maintenance, developer helpers, security checks, calculators and generators — in a single executable that needs no installer, writes nothing to the registry, and runs off a USB stick.
It is a rewrite, not a reskin. The previous version registered 551 tools across 45 plugin packs behind one dense table; a large share of those were thin adapters with near-duplicate behaviour ("Image Cropper — Crop image.", "Sparse File Inspector — report internals"). That architecture is gone:
| Before (3.x) | Now (4.0) | |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | 45 plugin packs, a Packs tab, enable/disable toggles | One flat catalogue — nothing to enable, nothing to install |
| Tools | 551 registered, many trivial or duplicated | 403, each with a real implementation and its own options |
| UI | Tkinter, one table + details pane for everything | Qt (PySide6), sidebar navigation, one page per tool |
| Options | Free-text argument box | Typed controls generated from each tool's own schema |
| Verification | Registry smoke test only | Every runnable tool executed against fixtures on every build |
Nothing was kept just to keep the count up. Every tool listed in TOOL_CATALOG.md runs, and the sweep that proves it ships with the repository.
| Home | A tool page |
|---|---|
 |
 |
| Category listing | Light theme |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Sidebar. Home, Favourites, Recently used, then every category with a live count. Dependencies and Settings sit at the bottom; the sun/moon button switches theme.
Search. Ctrl+K from anywhere. Results are ranked on name, category, summary and
keywords — typing "split" finds PDF splitting, file splitting and text splitting.
A tool page. The header carries the tool's name, category, readiness and a star for favourites. On the left, the options: text boxes, dropdowns, numbers, colour pickers, toggles, and file/folder pickers that accept drag-and-drop. On the right, the output console: streaming lines as the tool works, a progress bar when the tool reports progress, and buttons to copy, save or open whatever the tool produced.
Running. Ctrl+Enter runs. Long jobs stream and can be stopped. Tools that change
or delete data ask first, and show a red badge on their page.
Readiness, not gatekeeping. A tool that needs FFmpeg, Tesseract or a Python package is still listed; it says what is missing and how to get it. Nothing is hidden and nothing silently fails.
Download All4one-4.0.0-windows.zip from
Releases, unzip, run
All4one.exe. That is the whole installation.
git clone https://github.com/drsamonline/All4ONE.git
cd All4ONE
pip install PySide6 # only needed for the desktop UI
python main.py # desktop app
python main.py list # every tool, by categoryThe engine and every standard-library tool run on bare Python — PySide6 is only for the window.
The same binary is a proper CLI, and every GUI option has an identical flag:
all4one list # all 403 tools, grouped
all4one list --category PDF # one category
all4one search hash # ranked search
all4one show pdf-merge # options, defaults, readiness
all4one run hash-file --file report.pdf --algorithm sha256
all4one run gst-calc --amount 10000 --rate 18
all4one run pdf-extract-pages --file book.pdf --pages "1-3,7" --output ch1.pdf
all4one deps # what optional extras are installedOptions come from the tool's own field definitions, so the CLI can never drift from
the UI. Boolean options are --flag / --no-flag.
The app and 380 of the tools run on the Python standard library alone. The rest declare what they need and light up when it is present:
| Needs | Unlocks |
|---|---|
| Pillow | 26 image tools |
| pypdf | 24 PDF tools |
| FFmpeg / ffprobe | 20 media tools |
| openpyxl · python-docx | 15 document tools |
| Tesseract · Poppler | OCR and PDF-to-image |
| 7-Zip · LibreOffice · git | archive, office conversion, git tools |
| cryptography | file encryption |
| pywin32 | the Windows API tools |
Run all4one deps — or open Dependencies in the app — for the exact install
line for each one.
main.py entry point: no arguments opens the UI, else the CLI
core/
tool.py the contract — a tool is a function + a field schema
registry.py discovery, validation, ranking, readiness
runner.py one execution path for UI and CLI, streaming + cancel
deps.py optional dependency probes and install hints
cli.py argparse front-end built from the same schemas
settings.py one small JSON file: theme, favourites, recents
ui/
theme.py design tokens + the whole stylesheet (dark and light)
icons.py line icons as inline SVG — no image files to ship
widgets.py cards, chips, option editors, the output console
pages.py home, category, search, tool page, settings, dependencies
window.py sidebar shell, navigation history, search
tools/ 16 modules; a tool is ~15 lines plus its options
scripts/ catalogue + landing-page generators, release audit
tests/sweep.py runs every runnable tool against fixtures
docs/index.html the landing page, generated from the registry
A tool looks like this, and that is all it takes to appear in the app with a page:
@tool(id="gst-calc", name="GST Calculator", category="Numbers",
summary="Add or remove GST at any rate, and split CGST/SGST or IGST correctly.",
fields=[F.number("amount", "Amount (₹)", 10000.0, minimum=0.0),
F.choice("rate", "GST rate", ["5", "12", "18", "28"], "18")])
def gst_calc(v, ctx):
...The UI renders the fields, the CLI turns them into flags, and the catalogue is generated from the same metadata. There is no registration step and no plugin manifest.
pip install -r requirements-build.txt
python build.py # audit → tests → PyInstaller onefile → zipOutput in dist/: All4one.exe and All4one-<version>-windows.zip.
PyInstaller cannot cross-compile a Windows binary, so the real .exe is produced by
GitHub Actions on a windows-latest runner — every push to main builds one, and a
v* tag publishes it as a release. The Linux job runs the audit and the full tool
sweep on every push.
python scripts/audit.py # catalogue integrity, versions, hygiene, imports
python tests/sweep.py # executes every runnable tool against real fixturesBoth are wired into CI and must pass before a build is published. The audit rejects duplicate ids, duplicate summaries, unknown dependency keys, undocumented tools and version drift; the sweep is what stops a tool from quietly becoming decoration.

The catalogue and the landing page are generated from the live registry
(scripts/catalogue.py, scripts/landing.py), and the audit fails if either
drifts from the code — so the numbers in these pages are the numbers in the app.
