We have two important announcements to make: Switch 2 is now available and Reactor is now free.

Switch 2 is out! Our renowned shutdown manager is now even better. And we've kept the same low price, so what are you waiting for? Give it a try!

Version 2 adds synchronization, making automatic configuration on multiple installations possible. Here are some of the new, remarkable features:

• Refined interface, specially on tablets and smartphones
• New condition: Idle Time — shut down PCs when nobody is using them
• Ability to cancel shutdown events
• Avatars! — add your personal touch
• Simplified email notification setup
• Synchronization — update installations on local and remote (VPN) networks automatically
• And tons of small improvements and changes

On a side note, we're releasing Reactor 4.3 — Reactor is a minimalistic server monitoring tool for Windows, with all the bits and pieces. And now it's free, for both personal and commercial use. Enjoy!

Cheers!

These past weeks, we've been working to improve our payment system, which is now more flexible and hopefully better for everyone:

• Pay in your own currency
• More credit cards accepted
• Payments by phone, optionally
• Get the software on CD, optionally

As always, feel free to contact us if you find any issues or if you want to pay by wire, check, purchase order, etc.

Now, if you don't mind, let's get back to work! There'll be lots of great new features for Deskman and Switch in the year 2013!

Happy New Year, BTW!

We've completely revised this site for improved usability, especially on mobile devices. Browsing our website on tablets and smartphones is now much better — contacting support and placing orders do not require you to fight with the screen anymore. Hopefully!

In any case, we strive to provide an optimal browsing experience, so let us know if you find any issues.

PS. Where did the navigation menu go? Don't panic! Click this button on the top-right side of the screen and the menu will magically appear.

Cheers!

Deskman 12.3 is now available. Check out what's new:

• Ultra Kiosk Mode
• Windows 8 support
• Revamped Safe Start Menu
• New Autorun implementation
• Autorun moved to Settings
• Revised web interface
• Improved winkey restrictions
• Optimized activation and start up
• Firewall-friendly setup

This release is so big, it could have easily been a major new version on its own, but we love to let our customers get new, meaningful features and improvements as soon as possible, and for free. Yeah!

If you purchased Deskman 2012, you can upgrade to version 12.3, free of charge. We recommend you to upgrade now, if only for the following reasons: bug fixes, a much nicer Safe Start Menu, and a much better Autorun. But, it's up to you!

Cheers!

Summer means finding time to relax, cleaning up your mind, going to the beach and... starting new projects! As such, we'd like to announce Anfibia Switch, a shutdown manager. A simple tool for a simple task.

— A shutdown manager, you say? Windows includes a shutdown button, you know.
— Yes, but can you shut down your PC remotely? Can you easily program your computer to be restarted every workday at 10:00 AM? Can you put the computer to sleep by tweeting Abracadabra? Huh?
— Hmmm... Can I shut down my PC from my tablet?
— Yes! Switch is web-based, which means you can access it anywhere.

Switch allows you to reboot, shut down or put the computer to sleep easily. You only need to open Switch on your favorite web browser and click a button. And you can program switches based on your own conditions.

Give it a try!

Here's an instructional video of the new Deskman 2012 — see how easy it is to install, configure and manage multiple installations. Deskman is available for you to try for 30 days, free of charge, by the way.

Cheers!

You are looking at a redesigned website. Featuring more contrast and readability — as a matter of fact, a much more standard layout, palette and typography. Content-wise, there is now more consistency. And, internally, we've updated libraries and code to make the purchasing and contacting processes, well, better.

We hope you like the changes. Let us know what you think!

Cheers!

Contrary to popular belief, decentralized management is a much more convenient way to control multiple installations. Administration gets easier. Picture it like this: every installation includes its own control center. As simple as that. In other words: when you access one installation, you have access to all the rest.

Peers

A peer is a remote installation. Peers find each other in the network. Peers are connected to each other at the same level. Peers are decentralized.

A decentralized approach provides you with many advantages, in terms of remote management and administration:

• Installation: There is no need to install additional software
• Usage: There is no need to learn how to use additional software
• Configuration: Peers find each other automatically
• Availability: If a peer is down, try another
• Dependency: Peers are self-contained—zero dependencies

Simple is Better

Forget about having to install multiple packages. Just one. The same on all your computers. And forget about losing control—there are no client-server dependencies. If the network is down, you can still access peers locally.

Install and Forget About it

That's the point, right? Security software needs to work efficiently, silently in the background so that you—the administrator, the user—can focus on other, much more important, tasks.

Eventually, you'll need to manage your workstations. No problem! Open a web browser, point to one of your peers and get things done!

Cheers!
