Unity Tools
- Export Project to Zip 📦 – To export a Unity project to Zip
I designed this free script (available on GitHub and the Asset Store) to simplify sharing. It allows you to export an entire Unity project into a lightweight zip file. It automatically excludes the heavy Library folder, making it the ideal tool for transporting a project or preparing a submission. Once installed, it integrates directly into Unity's File menu, as if it were a native function! Download ExportProjectToZip on the Unity Asset Store
- Fast Play ⚡ – To speed up entering Play Mode
I created this free small utility (available on GitHub and the Asset Store). It adds a ⚡ button (near the ▶️) to launch Unity's Play Mode almost instantly. Download Fast Play on the Unity Asset Store
- Unity Libraries Cleaner 🧹 – To reduce the size of your Unity project archives
To free up disk space, I wrote this .bat script (source on GitHub) that automatically cleans the Library folders of your projects without affecting source files. If Windows blocks execution, check the ReadMe. Download UnityLibrariesCleaner on GitHub
- 2D Tile Gap Fixing Tool 🧱 – To avoid gaps between tiles
This tool, originally developed by Ben Dunkley and maintained by me, resolves visual "cracks" between 2D tiles without requiring an atlas, thus facilitating work if you use a version control system. The source code is on GitHub. Download 2dTileGapFixingTool on GitHub
- Flash Sprite Sheet Importer 🎞️ – To import Flash animations
I contributed to this project by James Prankard which facilitates importing Adobe Animate sprite sheets. Although an old version exists on the Asset Store, I recommend using the version on my GitHub for better compatibility with Unity 2021.2+. Download FlashSpriteSheetImporter on GitHub
- Unity Launcher Pro 🚀 – To open a Unity project without the Hub
Open Source alternative to Unity Hub, this small software created by Mika Makkonen allows opening a project directly from the file explorer (right click in the folder). By holding "Shift", you can even choose the Unity version to launch. Requires two small adjustments on first launch. Download Unity Launcher Pro zip file
Windows File Management
- Bulk Rename Utility 🏷️ – To batch rename files
Essential for batch renaming, this free and powerful tool allows for replacing, numbering, or changing extensions in bulk. Despite a cluttered interface, its preview function is crucial to avoid irreversible errors. Download Bulk Rename Utility
- TreeSize Free 🌿 – To discover what's eating up your disk space
Quickly visualize your hard drive usage thanks to this hierarchical folder view. Ideal for spotting temporary or obsolete files cluttering your space. Accessible via explorer right-click, it is free for personal use. Download TreeSize Free
- LockHunter 🔓 – To get rid of Windows file restrictions
Unlock files locked by Windows or other processes that refuse to be deleted. Via a simple right click, identify the culprit and force release, rename, or delete the file. Note: requires administrator rights (unusable on Cégep workstations). Download LockHunter
Windows App Installation
- Ninite 🛠️ – To download and install multiple applications at once
This tool allows choosing free software from a vast selection, then installing them all in a single step. To do this, simply visit the website and check the desired applications, then download a custom installer that will do all the work. As a bonus, it automatically blocks certain parasitic software (bloatware). An ideal solution for configuring a new computer! Access Ninite
File Archiving
- Keka 🍎 – To compress/decompress on MacOS
There is a free version of Keka; it is lightweight and compatible with many formats. It can decompress certain archives created on Windows that the native macOS utility cannot handle. Download Keka
- 7zip 🪟 – To compress/decompress on Windows
7zip is definitely the best free software on Windows. It offers more options and is much more efficient than the native compressor built into Windows. No serious developer should be without it! Download 7-zip
Web Customization
- Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey 🐒 – To change a web page while viewing
When I frequently visit a webpage with elements I dislike, I use Greasemonkey (Firefox) or Tampermonkey (Chrome). These extensions let you dynamically modify pages you don't own, for instance by hiding elements or changing formatting, using personal or community scripts. Download Greasemonkey (Firefox) or Download Tampermonkey (Chrome)
- uBlock 🛑 – To get rid of ads
I hate advertising on the web. uBlock is an Open Source extension that allows getting rid of ads. Generally, it is very effective, even for video ads. The uBlock Origin version is the best, but it is now reserved for the Firefox browser. For other browsers (Chrome, Opera, Edge), the uBlock Origin Lite version is still effective. Download uBlock
Android Automation
- Automate 🤖 – To create your own automation software
I dislike repetitive tasks on my phone. Automate lets you create workflows that execute automatically or manually (e.g., changing settings when an app starts, or toggling Wi-Fi via a widget). Creating these 'flows' is done via a user-friendly graphical interface, intuitive for anyone with programming experience. Community scripts are also available (use with caution!). The free version is sufficient for personal use. Download Automate (Android)
