Jens Hoernecke is an independent German developer who concentrates on tidy, single-purpose utilities that solve everyday organizational problems without the overhead of enterprise suites. LoT treats every object—books, tools, invoices, hobby collections—as an extensible record whose shape is defined on the fly; users add whatever fields they need, tag them, and then filter or full-text-search across the entire pool, turning an otherwise chaotic attic, workshop, or small-office inventory into a instantly queryable database. Visual Family Tree applies the same lightweight philosophy to genealogy: drag-and-drop individuals, draw relationships, attach photos or documents, and let the program auto-arrange generations into clear, printable charts suitable for family reunions or archival gifts. Both programs are built with modern open-source components, run portably under Windows without administrator rights, and store data in human-readable JSON so nothing is ever locked away. Because the feature list is deliberately short, learning time is measured in minutes rather than hours, making the pair attractive to teachers, local historians, club archivists, or anyone who needs a quick private catalog without signing up for cloud services. 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 fetch the latest release, and can be installed individually or in a single batch.
