Xmarmalade is an independent open-source developer whose small but focused catalog revolves around AlistHelper, a lightweight desktop companion that wraps the command-line alist server in a convenient Flutter GUI. Alist is a self-hosted file-listing engine capable of mounting cloud drives, FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, S3, OneDrive, Google Drive, and many other remote sources into a single, web-accessible directory; AlistHelper removes the need for manual scripts or terminal windows by offering one-click start/stop, background service mode, configuration file editing, tray-icon control, and real-time log viewing. Typical use cases include creating a personal “cloud aggregator” on a home PC, sharing teaching resources on a university intranet, or providing temporary public links to large assets without migrating data. Because the helper is cross-compiled for Windows, macOS, and Linux, it fits hobbyists who want a zero-friction way to keep alist updated and enterprises that need a portable, reproducible setup across machines. The publisher’s GitHub repository supplies portable archives, build scripts, and issue tracking, reflecting a community-oriented development style. Xmarmalade software is available free of charge on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the newest release and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
Alist Helper is an application developed using Flutter, designed to simplify the use of the desktop version of alist. It can manage alist, allowing you to easily start and stop the alist program.
