My desktop-widgets app Layer just hit the Microsoft Store — now with a one-click audio device switcher

I've been building Layer — a transparent overlay that turns your Windows desktop into a calm canvas of widgets: notes, clock, weather, now playing, calendar, system stats, a file shelf, and a couple dozen more. They sit quietly behind your apps; hit a hotkey to summon and arrange them, hit it again and everything goes click-through.

It just landed on the Microsoft Store, so it's one-click to install and Microsoft-verified (no SmartScreen warnings), and it's free.

Two things in this update people asked for:

  • 🎧 An audio device switcher widget — flip between headphones, speakers and mics in one click, without digging through Windows settings.
  • 🕐 A clock that scales as you resize it.

I built a Windows app that puts widgets onto your desktop

Hey everyone I built Layer, a Windows app that lets you drop widgets straight onto your desktop. They sit quietly behind your apps until you summon them with a hotkey.

The widget I use most is the note:

  • Multiple journal entries with searchable history
  • 14 typefaces · light / dark themes
  • 15-minute focus timer with retro chimes
  • One-tap fullscreen for distraction-free writing

Other widgets in the app:

  • Clocks, world clocks, countdowns
  • Weather · system stats · battery
  • Full calendar with recurring events + reminders
  • Pomodoro · sticky notes · to-do list
  • Apps launcher · web search · now-playing
  • Inbox with Ctrl + Shift + N to capture from anywhere
  • Clipboard history (auto-captures, pin items, click to re-copy)
  • A template gallery to share your layouts

Free, no account, Windows 10 / 11.

Built solo with Tauri + Rust. Just shipped v1.2.0 releases planned every few weeks. Open to feedback / feature requests.
