Bloatynosy Origin 1.01.103

A week after bringing Origin back, here's the first real update. Most of it is the stuff I didn't get finished before I finally pressed publish.

What's in this release

• Check, review, decide, apply. Open the app, let it look at your PC, and you get a list of what Windows is doing that you might not want. Nothing is selected for you and nothing happens until you say so.
• A Windows 11 interface, now with a navigation column. The setup-style flow is gone. Home, open changes, every category, your installed apps, and your ignored list all sit in a column on the left, each with a count of what's waiting there, and a search box in the header. One click to anywhere instead of one step after the other.
• Around a hundred Windows settings, grouped by where they live: appearance, File Explorer, privacy, Edge, AI features, gaming, system, taskbar, ads, and updates.
• Settings you can put back. What's still open and what's already applied are shown apart from each other, and supported entries can be set back to their Windows default.
• Installed app detection. Bloatynosy tells bloatware candidates, personal choices, and protected Windows components apart. Apps are never ticked for removal on their own and removing one always asks first.
• An ignore list. Anything you don't want to be asked about again stays out of your way on the next check.
• A profile for the check. Point the app at a profile file and it checks the way you want on every PC you carry it to. Without one, the catalogue decides.
• A report after applying. You see what the app is working on while it runs, and what actually succeeded when it's done.
• Details when you ask for them. Select an entry to read what it does, without that text cluttering the list.
• Optional AI explanations. Add your own key and ask about a selected setting or app. Groq, OpenAI, Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible endpoints work. It stays off until you turn it on, and the key never leaves your machine except to the provider you picked.
• The catalogue is a text file. Every check lives in Data\WinRules.ini and Data\AppRules.ini. Open them, change them, add your own. New categories show up in the navigation on the next start without anyone touching the code.
• English and German, and the app follows your Windows language unless you tell it otherwise.
• Still tiny, still portable, still WinForms. One exe, no installer, no background service. It does nothing when it isn't open.
• It has an icon now. That was the one thing I admitted was missing last time.

The king is back, and he unpacked his things.
