THE HOLM GUIDE / EVERYDAY USE
Notes, reminders & tools
For the little things between the big things.
Notes and reminders
The note stays on this PC and survives a restart. Type reminders such as “20 min laundry”, “14:30 dentist” or “tomorrow 9:00 call”; German works too. Reminders survive a restart, and one missed while your PC was off appears when it comes back. A due reminder offers +10 min.
Calculator and colour picker
Type a calculation and click the result to copy it. Percentage calculations such as “50 + 15%” work too. With the colour picker, click a screen pixel to copy its hex code; arrow keys move one pixel, Shift moves ten, and Enter picks.
Clipboard history
Holm keeps the last 20 copied texts and pictures in memory. Click one to copy it again. Passwords marked private by password managers are excluded. A copied password is cleared after 30 seconds if it is still on the clipboard. History is not saved across restarts.
Screenshots and text recognition
Windows screenshots and snips can appear in a small pop-out with Send, Shelf and Copy text. Text recognition uses Windows OCR on your PC. Images copied from unrelated apps are left alone.
Shelf and timers
Drop files or folders on Shelf to keep their paths within reach. Drag them back into another window when ready; Explorer-style move and copy behaviour applies. Right-click → Timer offers durations from one minute to one hour, with pause, stop and five more minutes when time is up.
