Feature List

For your reference, here is a short non-exhaustive list of things you can do on your PC with AlomWare Toolbox. Some are via menus in the app, and others require automated actions.

If you need help with any of the features below, please email us and we'll point you in the right direction (paid users will get custom help with action creation).
