benchdoos

benchdoos is a small, community-oriented software publisher whose single public offering, WeblocOpener, solves a niche but persistent cross-platform headache: Apple’s .webloc internet-shortcut files are normally unreadable on Windows. WeblocOpener integrates itself into the Windows shell so that double-clicking a .webloc instantly launches the stored URL in the default browser, while a right-click menu allows the shortcut to be edited, duplicated, or converted to a regular Windows .url file. Beyond simple opening, the utility can batch-import entire folders of .webloc files—handy when migrating bookmarks from macOS or sharing Safari reading lists with a PC—and it preserves the original favicon and creation date for quick visual recognition. Developers who store documentation links in .webloc format, designers who shuttle reference URLs between macOS and Windows workstations, and everyday users moving from a MacBook to a Surface all rely on the tool to keep their curated links intact without manual re-typing. Because the program is open-source and weighs under a megabyte, it is frequently bundled by IT departments into standard images for mixed-platform offices. The publisher’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always install the latest release, and may be queued for batch installation alongside other applications.
