What is a tiny app?
As defined by this website, a tiny app (application) is software weighing 1.44mb or less. This ranges from the miniscule Tiny IDEA (a mere 448 bytes), to the awe-inspiring QNX demo disk which pretty much fills a floppy.

To qualify for TinyApps, a program must:

1. Not exceed 1.44mb
2. Not be adware
3. Not require the VB/MFC/.NET runtimes. Also, preference is given to apps which are 100% self-contained, requiring no installation, registry changes, etc.
4. Preferably be free, and ideally offer source code. Shareware will only be listed if there is no freeware alternative.

How about adding a "Recent Updates" page?
That function is now served through the blog, which is also available via Atom feed.

How can I search TinyApps.Org more effectively?
TinyApps.Org uses KSearch, an open source site indexer and search engine from KScripts.com. You can view information on search operators and more here.

Who is behind TinyApps.Org?
Miles Wolbe, an I.T. consultant on Maui.

What is the single most helpful thing I can do for myself, my fellow beings, and the planet?
Go vegan.

Do you have a disclaimer statement?
Yes. You are 100% responsible for your own actions. Using this site, visiting a link, downloading a program, in short, living, is done entirely at your own risk (and joy).

Are these really frequently asked?
No. (Well, with the exception of the "Recent Updates" question - that one gets asked fairly regularly.)
