SmallSuite

SmallSuite is a minimalist piece of software that brings a somewhat interesting set of productivity web apps directly to your computer's desktop.

In more detail, this straightforward utility allows you to shorten URLs, "to pastebin" long texts, as well as capture and share screenshots instantly thanks to three useful web apps appropriately dubbed SmallURL, SmallPaste, and SmallImage.

Before anything else, please note that you are required to create a SURL Network account in order to access the desktop app and the three web apps respectively. There's one more thing to consider, and that's the fact that the app is dependant on the presence of .NET Framework 4.0 or newer.

After a typical, hassle-free installation procedure, SmallSuite smoothly integrates with your computer's toolbar, from where you can either summon its main window or directly access all three features/services via the contextual menu.

To learn what this tiny app has to offer as fast as possible, it's worth checking out the Settings section first. You'll notice that each service has its separate configuration section from where you can also change the default keyboard shortcuts.

All three services are pretty much straightforward, though, the SmallImage is definitely the most comprehensive of the lot as it allows you to take full-screen or region screenshots, as well as upload your files in a jiffy.

It shouldn't take too long until you have fully mastered working with this little app. In short, it automatically copies an URL to your computer's clipboard (accompanied by system notifications) each time you shorten an URL, use the pastebin option, or capture and share screenshots.

SmallSuite is without a doubt a useful app with an unusual set of features provided by the three web services in question. The app can very well be considered a primary example of desktop-web reciprocity and interaction. As a bonus, it looks rather nice, and it offers everything for free.
