Cylix

If you have a desk job, then you probably know what it's like to work with a lot of file formats simultaneously, and this translates to a lot of different software tools being installed on your PC, which then leads to slower systems and less disk space. Those are the situations where you could make use of an app that can open and edit multiple unrelated file formats, such as code, text, HTML or images. One such application is Cylix, and it offers all the services mentioned above in a masterful way.

Considering that you will be using this tool to replace about seven other apps, it goes without saying that it will be pretty much open all the time, but the Stylish UI makes that sound more like something you look forward to instead of a chore. More so, you don’t even have to go through a setup process to make the application work.  This makes it possible to take it for a spin as soon as the download is done, but also have it deployed on a USB flash drive in case you wish to use it on other computers, while also having project files with you.

Cylix works as a project based application since the first thing you have to do is create a main file that is password protected. From that moment on,  all you have to do is either fill the main folder with files or edit the ones already inside. One great thing that makes Cylix especially versatile regarding usage is the sheer amounts of file formats it can open, view and edit.  The list includes coding, images, MD files, PDFs, spreadsheets, text and Web editors, with each mode gaining access to its own unique set of tools specific to that format.

Cylix manages to offer all of the basic tools one may need to open, view and edit some of the most commonly met file formats you may need at an office. However, it does so without going into unnecessary detail or overloading the UI with buttons and submenus.  This makes it great for those who prefer simple, more efficient solutions, and the prospect of no loading their PC too much.
