A SMALL IDEA. AN OPEN PROJECT.
A little more care.
For the everyday.
Holm brings useful things closer, without asking your desktop to become something else.
WHY HOLM EXISTS
A home for
the in-between.
The song you want to skip. A file to send. A thought to remember. Holm gives those small moments a place at the top of your screen.
It is a Dynamic Island-style notch, built natively for Windows with WPF and .NET 10. It was called WinNotch until version 1.5.0; existing settings carry over.
HOW IT’S MADE
Open source.
Open to a little better.
For Windows.
A native desktop app that works with the media, audio devices and notifications already on your PC.
For real days.
Small tools, sharing and a little awareness. The direction is guided by actual use, feedback and the project’s public development.
For everyone to explore.
Holm is free and open source under the MIT licence. Read the code, report an issue or contribute an improvement.
PEOPLE & TOOLS
Made with a human point of view.
Holm began with Claude in Claude Code. The project now also uses OpenAI’s Codex and other AI development tools for implementation, review and testing. Human maintainers guide development and test it on real machines.
It’s an actively developed project, with room to improve. Issues and contributions are welcome.
