THE HOLM GUIDE / START HERE

Getting started

Your desktop, with a little more within reach.

Meet the notch

Holm lives at the top of your screen. Open it for your music, today’s weather and everyday tools. Right-click it for Settings, timers, friends and more. A click outside closes the open notch.

Your first few minutes

Download the Windows x64 release, place Holm.exe in a folder you can write to and run it. Start some music in Spotify, a supported browser or another Windows media player. Open the notch to see its controls.

Make it yours

Right-click the notch and choose Settings. Choose your collapsed and expanded sizes independently, adjust the open notch, and turn individual pop-outs on or off. Most settings wait for Apply.

Keep exploring

Try a note, set a reminder in plain words, or drag a file onto the notch to see Shelf and Beam. You can use Shelf with Beam switched off.
