v1.1.0: Mouse Gestures, a One-Click Desktop Tidy-Up, and Your Own LLM for Translation

YyzTools released v1.1.0.2000, adding mouse gestures that mirror its command palette grammar, a one-click desktop organizer, and configurable LLM translation via any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The developer said the translation feature now sends selected text to a user-chosen endpoint, such as a local Ollama or LM Studio model, turning a trust question into a configuration question. The free Windows 10/11 utility ships with 387 command modules, 12 languages, and no account or telemetry.

Release notes for yyzTools https://yyztools.com v1.1.0.2000 Sep 25, 2026 , plus the design argument behind the headline feature: the command palette owns the keyboard — mouse gestures give the mouse the same deal. One trigger, one grammar. Five days after 1.0.9 shipped space-bar file preview, v1.1.0.2000 is out. The headline is mouse gestures; the quieter updates custom LLM translation, a one-click desktop organizer, OCR quality-of-life are the ones I suspect daily users will feel most. Full list first, then the design argument. The command palette in yyzTools has one rule: a single hotkey Alt+Space plus a grammar type f for files, c for clipboard, p for processes... . Users remember one trigger and a vocabulary, not forty hotkeys. Keyboards got that deal. The mouse never did — the mouse's "shortcuts" are pixel targets in corners close, minimize, the taskbar's far end , each one a small aiming exercise. Gestures give the mouse the same structure: hold one trigger, draw one stroke. Direction is the grammar. ↓ is minimize for me, ←→ is task switch, and the stroke takes less time than moving the cursor to a title-bar button. The action set hotkeys, windows, volume, apps, tasks, search deliberately mirrors the palette's — anything the keyboard grammar can express, the mouse grammar can too. Two policy choices worth stating: The translator has always been the one part of yyzTools that must touch the network — translating text means asking someone who knows both languages. Until now, that someone was a fixed public service. Now it's whoever you say: any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. A local model behind Ollama or LM Studio, a corporate gateway, a provider you've actually read the privacy policy of. The request goes where you point it, which turns "where does my selected text go?" from a trust question into a configuration question. For an otherwise local-first suite, that's the right shape for AI features: the capability is welcome, the endpoint must be yours. One-click organize exists because desktops accumulate: screenshots, downloads, that one folder you keep meaning to sort. The dock can now sweep icons into its categories in one pass — files into a files category, shortcuts into their apps — leaving the desktop usable as, well, a desktop. It pairs oddly well with the gestures release. Between "draw a stroke to minimize everything" and "one click to tidy the desktop," v1.1.0 is quietly the release about surfaces: less digging through piles, more staying where you are. As always: free, no account, no telemetry; network calls belong to features that inherently need one, and translation now goes to the endpoint you choose. Windows 10/11, 12 languages, 387 command modules. Setup 175 MB, portable 166.8 MB, incremental updates after that. yyztools.com https://yyztools.com . What would you bind to a stroke?
