CoolTweak comes from a personal initiative, the desire to build something useful, simple to use but with mighty features.

The very first developments started in 2012 and it's been a long adventure since this early beta version.
A quite huge amount of work has been achieved - step by step - and the app is now stable and open for extensions.
Developers can build new features at will, that's an exciting perspective and the future of the project.

I really hope that you enjoy CoolTweak and I'd be so happy to see you contribute to it, even by just sharing your feelings about it.
