Read the full description
Windows has no quick home for the stuff you juggle mid-task: files you’re moving, a song, a note, something you just copied. Tomte puts it all in the top edge of your screen, hidden until you push the pointer up, hit a hotkey or drag a file there. Built for Windows 11 power users who live in shortcuts. Features: file shelf, media controls, scratchpad, clipboard history, search, timers, and optional AI on your own key (circle-to-ask, local voice typing). Free, open source, no tracking.
