Welcome to quixotely.com. This page is a brief introduction to this site and its products.

About

This website (pronounced kē-hōt-lē) provides support and downloads for software products designed to be both useful and polite.

The apps you'll find here are enabled by open-source technologies and run portably on both your Android phones and tablets, and your Windows, macOS, and Linux PCs. Open source promotes transparency, and portability removes limiting barriers between your devices.

Just as importantly, none of the products you'll find here will ever steal your personal information, flash rude advertising in your face, use paywalls to extort payments from you, force you to sign up for subscriptions, require accounts and logins, corral your media into single-source prisons, or otherwise try to turn your personal life or property into covert revenue streams.

In short, this site stands for software without the exploitation that's become too much a norm. While that stance might be deemed tilting at windmills by some cynics, in truth it's just as easy for apps to respect your privacy as it is to violate it. This site's products are intended, in part, to show that sacrificing ethics need not be a prerequisite of app development.

Products

This site currently hosts two apps:

PC-Phone USB Sync
First published in May 2023, this app provides content backup and sync that works the same on your phones and PCs and is completely private by design. By using removable drives instead of clouds, this app ensures that your stuff remains your stuff, not someone else's point of control.
Frigcal
First published in January 2026, this app provides a simple calendar and journal that works the same on your phones and PCs and comes with privacy included. By storing your calendars in a folder of your choosing, this app keeps the personal moments of your life out of the hands of bad actors.

You'll find all of these apps' online resources—including their screenshots, videos, docs, and free and ad-free downloads for Android and PCs—by tapping their icons at the top of this page.

Company

This site's apps are meant to stand on their own merits, not the personalities of their creators.

That said, if you wish to vet this site's legitimacy, you can find additional free software from the maker of apps here at its separate website. That site hosts image-gallery builders, zipfile tools, and more, some of which may eventually appear in enhanced form here. You'll also find info there about classic Python programming books authored by this site's proprietor.

Privacy

All apps at this site come with privacy included. For the formal privacy statement of the apps available here, as well as that of this website itself, see the separate page here.

Feedback

Your input on your experiences with this site's products is valued and encouraged. Please send feature requests, issue reports, and general comments and questions by email with the Contacts link in hamburger menu at the top of every page here (JavaScript required). This site's apps will be improved actively, and your feedback is crucial to this process.
