“I looked at what was available and didn't like the options — closed-source, subscription-priced, CPU-hungry, or all three — so I built my own.”

OpenWinSidecar

Windows second-screen apps want a subscription to borrow the iPad you already paid for. OpenWinSidecar streams a real extra monitor straight into Safari and bills you nothing.

replacesFlightConnections Premium · $39.99/yr

FSAtlas

FlightConnections bills $39.99 a year to show you where the planes go. FSAtlas plots 170,000 real routes on your own server and bills nobody.

“It's designed for flight simmers, virtual airline pilots, and aviation hobbyists who want realistic route inspiration for their next flight with powerful filters for MSFS, X-Plane, or Prepar3D without needing a paid subscription like FlightConnections.”

replacesBitly Core · $10/mo

Jinx

Bitly wants $10 a month to remember that one URL means another URL. Jinx is a text file on GitHub Pages and it remembers for free.

“Paid link shorteners cost money every month for something that's really just a lookup table.”
