I made a small Windows tool for keeping web widgets on the desktop

Hey everyone,

I’m a student and I’ve been working on a small Windows desktop tool as a side project.

The idea is simple: you can create small floating widgets from web pages and keep them visible on your desktop while working.

I originally built it for myself because I wanted quick access to things like:

  • timers
  • dashboards
  • music players
  • notes
  • personal web pages
  • small productivity tools

Current features:

  • multiple floating widgets
  • edit mode for moving and resizing
  • snapping and guide lines
  • opacity control
  • click-through mode
  • widget titles
  • saved layouts
  • tray menu
  • import/export layout

It’s built with Electron.

I’m mostly looking for honest feedback right now:

Would you use something like this?

What kind of web widget would you keep on your desktop?

What feature would make this more useful?

Thanks for any feedback.
