Text Tools widget for Windows

The Text Mechanic toolbox as a desktop tile. Deduplicate and sort lines, change case, find and replace, extract emails or URLs, encode and decode Base64, slugify a string - about fifty transforms in total. It runs locally, so you are not pasting internal text into a random website to reverse a list.
