Here’s a new UI concept based on the latest dark theme version, which was just introduced yesterday as "Noir." The UI is sleek, simple, modular, and, of course, dark. Feel free to test it over the next few days and share your feedback

🚀 Bloatynosy New Year’s Build Update! 🎉
Happy New Year, my friends! Wishing you all the best for 2025. I’m excited to share more projects with you this year and make them accessible to everyone.
On the ride home from yesterday’s New Year’s party, I decided to give the Bloatynosy Plugin Store a glow-up! The UI now sports a sleek Windows 11-inspired design. Check out the introduction clip featuring the Flyby11 Plugin, which lets you install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware (just select the ISO file in the final step)
New.Year.s.Build.Update.mp4
Heres what’s new in this release:
- Modernized Plugin Store: Install, uninstall, and update your plugins through a revamped interface in true Windows 11 style
- Plugin reviews and code execution now log real-time statuses (To Be Applied, In Progress, Completed)
- German language file has been updated #260 Thanks to Mr-Update
- A few minor tweaks to improve overall stability
To install a language file, simply download the language asset from here and move it to the directory where the .exe file is located. If you'd like to contribute translations, you can find the necessary resource files on GitHub: Bloatynosy Locales. You can also use Hakan's translation tool to assist with the process
I've included a dark-themed version in the assets, which goes by the build name Noir. This version is slightly more aggressive when it comes to debloating. Since I was too lazy to provide both app modes in one app and was just experimenting at first, the dark 'Noir' version is now available as an experimental feature. Perhaps we could run a survey to see if the optional dark mode should be set as the default for the app, or if we should stick with the light mode forever, after all, you don’t keep the app open all day. The opinions are divided on the app mode. Personally, I’m more of a fan of the light mode for apps, except for my development environment like VSCode and Studio, of course.
Some of you want to thank me, so I’ll drop my PayPal link here. Thanks a lot, friends, and see you soon!

Massive Core Overhaul Launching the App to Version 1.0
After its inception as "Bloatynosy," this release propels the app to a true milestone: version 1.0! Fun fact: Bloatynosy originally launched as my first-ever release in mid-January 2023. Since then, the app has been downloaded over 7 million times (I stopped counting earlier this year).
Bloatynosy has been through a lot. It’s seen the highs and the lows. At its peak, it was even available in the Microsoft Store, before getting removed. The app has undergone two identity crises with name changes, somehow survived as a makeshift AI web app (Winpilot), was shut down, and then brought back to life again 💩 😑
Heres what’s new in this release:
- Freshly revamped UI from the DEV Channel is now rolling out, offering even smoother integration with Windows 11
- Dumputer > Debloating Module adopts the classic BloatyNosy design with the iconic dual-basket interface
- New Notification Area seamlessly slides in and out of the UI, providing global logging capabilities
- New final app icon featuring a "fat droplet" design is included in this DEV release
- Update check functionality added (accessible from the Notification Area)
- Fixed an issue where individual log instances were not being saved properly
- Fixed a bug that could prevent certain plugins from being installed
- Resolved a critical issue where the main app window might not display (though the process was running)
- Fixed overlapping controls in the Dumputer area when using a 175% DPI scaling
- Optimized memory usage, because every byte still counts, even today 😄
- The app now boots 20% faster, enhancing overall performance
- Improved support for gaming handhelds like the ROG Ally
- Numerous smaller bug fixes to enhance stability and usability
To install a language file, simply download the language asset from here and move it to the directory where the .exe file is located. If you'd like to contribute translations, you can find the necessary resource files on GitHub: Bloatynosy Locales. You can also use Hakan's translation tool to assist with the process

Bloatynosy 1.0 - ho ho ho 🎅 The Comeback!
Massive Core Overhaul Launching the App to Version 1.0

Bloatynosy has been through a lot. It’s seen the highs and the lows. At its peak, it was even available in the Microsoft Store, before getting removed. The app has undergone two identity crises with name changes, somehow survived as a makeshift AI web app (Winpilot), was shut down, and then brought back to life again 💩 😑
Heres what’s new in this release:
- Bye-Bye "Bloatynosy Nue": Internally, it’s still "Bloatynosy Nue," but the app proudly wears its original name, "Bloatynosy," again in the assembly
- Brand-new app icon!
- Modern Navigation: Redesigned tabs with a more dynamic and modern feel, expect a sleeker, more unified UI
- Tabs now come with a "close/X" button for quick cleanup
- Improved notifications area, now with a powerful search function
- All-new settings interface for easier configuration
- Upgraded Store: The store is now a primary tab, always accessible right from the main form
- Improved handling of high DPI values and DPI scaling up to 175%
- Updated the "Experience" section for smoother user interactions
So this isn’t just an update ...it’s a comeback story🚀

If you haven’t heard yet, BloatyNosy has been brought back to life, read on to learn more...
You probably remember my classic BloatynosyApp, which had to go through some renaming and eventually got discontinued. Everything that came after, like the web-based "Winpilot," didn't last long either. Honestly, I thought I was done with Bloatynosy-well, at least with the name. But then, during a recent visit to a well-known company, I saw an employee Googling the app and trying to download it, and I had to stifle a laugh. Apparently, the legend lives on. The employee and I had a good laugh about it, and he even called it the epitome of debloating.
Sometimes, I think a little too long about things, and then a useful project just pops out. Bloatynosy was one of those projects. Sure, the name wasn't for everyone, but it was the go-to tool for cleaning up and debloating Windows. Recently, I added an OOBE assistant called "Fresh11" to the FlybyScript—basically, an all-in-one solution and I figured, why not use the same foundation to bring Bloatynosy back to life?
I had a hard time committing to it, but in the end, I went for it. Now I can proudly say that after Bloatynosy, there won’t be anything newer or better. This time, it'll be even leaner, more efficient, smaller, and faster. A simple .exe that anyone can understand, doing exactly what bugs us after installing Windows 11. The reborn Bloatynosy carries the "Nue" extension (Bloatynosy Nue), not "New" ;) The last solid, classic version was 0.85, and that's where Im picking up (with a fresh new interface). The build carries a small 11.x version number.
Bloatynosy Nue 0.90
- The app experience has been further improved: each opened section is now displayed in a separate tab, allowing users to switch between sections/modules even when one section is in progress
- The third-party plugin store has been further enhanced at its core (this section is not localized yet and is currently only available in the US version)
- German translation has been improved
- Italian translation has been added #250 Thanks to @bovirus
- Korean translation has been added #253 Thanks to @VenusGirl

Bloatynosy Nue 0.89.1
- Bloatynosy is now officially localizable for the first time ever! (Previous Classic, AI, and Winpilot versions were never localized.) The first language pack for the German community is included. To install, simply download the "lang_german.zip" asset and extract it to the directory where the .exe is located. If you'd like to contribute translations, you can find the necessary resource files here: GitHub - Bloatynosy Locales. You can also use Hakan's translation tool to help out: ResX Translator.

- The design has been further simplified and modernized for a smoother user experience. Additionally, the file size and resource usage have been optimized, making Bloatynosy a true lightweight in every sense of the word
- A new plugin store has been added, allowing you to download and install plugins regardless of your version. The store will also support third-party scripts in the future, but most available plugins are developed by me. For example, you’ll find Flyby11 scripts for upgrading to Windows 11, including in-place upgrades using server setups
- The built-in app removal tool Dumputer now features two "baskets," allowing you to drag bloatware apps from one box to the second trash bin. This UI design is inspired by my old app Bloatbox - fun fact, the classic Bloatynosy version 0.85 had a similar concept
- Managing plugins is easier than ever. A single click on "Visit Store" gives you access to the store and allows you to enable or explore new plugins effortlessly

- The built-in app removal tool "Dumputer" has been expanded with two "baskets," allowing you to drag bloatware apps from one box to the second trash bin (this UI experience is inspired by my old app "Bloatbox". "By the way, the classic best Bloatynosy under version 0.85 looked like that too ;)).
- A new Plugin Store has been added, where third-party plugins will be available in the future. By the way, you'll also find several Windows 11 upgrade plugins from my Flyby11 app here, such as the In-place Upgrade via Server Setup.
- The plugin functionality, especially enabling plugins and accessing the store, has been simplified and now only requires a single click on "Visit Store."

- The UI has been further simplified and modernized, while also drawing inspiration from the classic Bloatynosy app to maintain that same level of simplicity
- Stable release on version 0.85 with migrated features and full support for Windows 11 24H2, especially 23H2, but also older feature versions - this was the version everyone agreed was the best of its time!
