Factodus · solo developer · Spain

Small, careful software that does one job well.

Two product lines so far: a disk-space tool for PC gamers, and developer tools that let you look inside message queues without leaving your editor. Each one says plainly what it does to your files or your messages, and what it does not.

For PC gamers · Windows 10 and 11

ShelfSpace

Win back disk space from your game library, without breaking a single game.

ShelfSpace compresses installed games in place with the compression built into Windows, the same engine behind compact.exe. It estimates the savings first, compresses on your say-so, and can decompress any game back to full size at any time.

  • Estimate first: a low–high range for every game
  • XPRESS and LZX, with pause, resume and cancel
  • No admin rights, no account, no telemetry

Prefer the command line? Read the free guide how to shrink Steam games with compact.exe.

ShelfSpace in the Diorama theme: four games as boxes on a shelf under a hydraulic press, with an estimate of 2.6 GB that LZX can free

For developers · message brokers

Queue Studio

See what is actually in your queues, from the IDE or editor you already have open. Peek without side effects where the broker allows it, warn before every read where it does not, and move dead letters back without losing any.
