Windows has no place for what's happening right now. ZenithBar adds a floating island to the top of your screen: playback controls for any Windows media session, your next calendar events, pinned apps and sites, a file shelf you can drag straight into other apps, and a visual clipboard history. It opens on hover, disappears during full-screen games, and processes everything on-device — no account required to use it. One-time purchase with a 7-day trial, not a subscription.

I've spent years on Windows watching my attention get shredded by window switching. Pause a song → Spotify comes forward. Check when the next meeting is → calendar app takes the screen. Find something I copied twenty minutes ago → gone. macOS users got the Dynamic Island treatment on the desktop. Windows never did. So ZenithBar is a small island pinned to the top of the screen. Hover it and it expands: media controls for whatever Windows is playing, your next events, pinned apps and sites, a shelf you can drag files out of, and a clipboard history that remembers text, links, images and colors. Move the pointer away and it's gone. During full-screen games it hides itself entirely. The part that took longest wasn't the features — it was making it feel like it belongs to Windows instead of sitting on top of it. Getting the hover timing right, making the island not steal focus from what you're typing in, deciding what stays visible when it's idle. Most of my rewrites were about restraint. Everything stays on your machine. Calendar is read-only Google access, Drive backup is optional and you start it yourself, and nothing needs an account. One honest note: this build isn't code-signed yet, so Windows will show a SmartScreen "Publisher: Unknown" warning. It's a reputation notice, not a detection — the SHA-256 is published on the site so you can verify what you downloaded. Signing is on the way. What would you want on an island like this that isn't there yet?

Congrats on the launch! The file shelf and clipboard history built into a Dynamic Island UI for Windows look super neat! I’m currently using Notchify. What would you say makes ZenithBar a better fit for a daily workflow compared to it?

I use a wide screen and several displays, so I have plenty of screen space that could be used better. Having useful information and quick controls around the edges could actually save me a lot of clicking. I really like this one! Congrats on the launch!!
