Keep the tools you love. Productivity Plus Pack is made to run alongside them — and together they make for a better everyday Windows experience.
Your Windows setup is already made up of tools you like — Microsoft PowerToys, OneDrive, Windows Search, the apps in your right-click menu. Productivity Plus Pack is designed to be added to them, not to replace them.
Its focus is your files and your everyday flow in Windows: tags, ratings and comments you can search for in Explorer, custom icons, file templates, a right-click menu the way you want it, and private local AI. Where it meets your other tools, they work together; where they overlap, you choose which one to keep.
Where PowerToys and Productivity Plus Pack meet in your day
New+ in PowerToys and New++ are very similar and come from the same team, and they can be installed side by side. The extra + is there for a reason: New++ adds groups of templates, prompting for values, creating a folder from selected items and updating variables inside files — and it gets new features first.
PowerToys adds useful right-click entries such as PowerRename, Image Resizer and File Locksmith. Context Menu+ lets you decide which entries show up — from PowerToys and every other app — switch between the modern and classic Windows 11 menu, and add your own commands.
PowerToys Peek and File Explorer add-ons help you preview files. Productivity Plus Pack adds tags and ratings, comments, custom icons and people in photos — shown on thumbnails and searchable from Explorer.
PowerToys Always On Top pins a window with Win+Ctrl+T. Window+ pins with Ctrl+Win+Alt+P, adds window transparency, and remembers both per application. Use whichever suits you, or turn Window+ off in Settings.
PowerToys Advanced Paste converts your clipboard to plain text, Markdown or JSON, and to .txt, .png or .html files. Paste as works from the right-click menu inside any folder and adds JPG, BMP and icon images, URL shortcuts, QR codes and Markdown files. Plain Paste uses Ctrl+Shift+V by default, so it doesn't collide with Advanced Paste's own plain-text shortcut.
Media+ adds global keys for play, pause, skip and volume, plus a hotkey to mute (Ctrl+Win+Alt+M) and unmute (Ctrl+Win+Alt+U) your microphone from any app — handy in every meeting.
Productivity Plus Pack builds on what's already on your PC
The Tag+ and Rate+ filters in Explorer's navigation pane are built on Windows Search, and comments show up in Explorer's Comments column and in search — no separate app or database to learn.
Tag Sense AI and AI Hotkeys+ use Ollama to run AI privately on your own PC. The first time you use them, you're guided through installing it and downloading a model — a one-time setup the two share. (In the Microsoft Store edition, you install Ollama yourself.)
Prefer a cloud AI for some tasks? AI Hotkeys+ sends selected text to Microsoft Copilot by default, or to the cloud AI of your choice, and shows you exactly what will be sent first.
Custom folder icons follow your folders across devices through OneDrive, usually within a minute or so of syncing.
Archivers, Git tools, editors, cloud storage — many apps add right-click entries. Context Menu+ keeps the ones you use and hides the rest, whichever app they come from.
Yes. Productivity Plus Pack is designed to be installed alongside PowerToys and the other tools you already use, not to replace them. Together they make for a better everyday Windows experience.
They are very similar and come from the same team, and they can be installed side by side. The extra + is there for a reason: New++ has extra features, such as groups of templates, prompting for values, and updating variables inside files, and it gets new features first.
Keep the one you prefer. Every feature in Productivity Plus Pack can be turned on or off individually in its Settings app.
Productivity Plus Pack's Settings app tells you when one of its shortcuts is already used by another program on your PC, names the shortcut that isn't working, and lets you pick a different combination.
