Your Windows PC has a dead zone at the top. I filled it with 1 MB of Rust.

The top of your screen does nothing. So I built Nock.

It’s a notch for Windows: about 1 MB, plain Rust, no Electron, about 0% CPU when idle. Here’s what’s in it today:

• Media: artwork, track info, play/pause and a seekable progress bar

• Today: focus timer, to-do list and calendar

• Clipboard: history with search and pins

• Shelf: drop files on the notch and grab them later

• Apps: your pinned apps in one click

• Controls: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, sound and brightness

• Games: a small arcade

• Power: lock, sleep, restart, shut down

• Stats, plus alerts: it notices what you copy, tells you when your mic is on, and warns you about low battery

• A buddy that runs little animated scenes

• Ctrl+Alt+T to add a task from any app

You can try all of it without installing anything. The notch on the site is live: https://nock.akhileshvarute.me/

I’m launching on Nov 5, and I’d rather hear what’s wrong with it now than after:

1. Which of these would you use every day?

2. What’s missing?

3. What would make you uninstall it?
