PathPiler and FreePiler URL Collector

Linux

Windows

Also checkout the more capable version here https://github.com/decanbay/PathPiler/tree/FreePile

I don't like Apple so no MacOSbut feel free to compile and add here.

I have created this for myself as I was getting distracted with the number of tabs and Could not limit myself. Just drag your URL from your browser for queue, and click back on to deque. It only queues unique URLs so that you can not queue the same url.

This is to store URLs in a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) manner, view the current queue capacity.

Compiled on Ubuntu 22.04 and Windows 10 Exe and Binary files can be downloaded from here
