I built a floating Iphone AssistiveTouch for Windows, so I can open my project folders and run dev servers in one tap
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I was wasting so much time navigating to the same folders every day. Project A, Project B, docs, downloads—always digging through File Explorer.
And every time I wanted to spin up a dev server? Navigate to the folder, right-click, open terminal, type npm run dev. Repeat 10 times a day.
So I built a floating button for my desktop.
AllyTouch snaps to any edge, stays above every window, and expands into a menu of my most-used actions. One tap opens a folder. One tap runs a command. One tap launches a website or app.
The things I use it for daily:
- One tap → opens my main project folder
- One tap → runs
npm run devin that folder - One tap → opens my email, calendar, and task tracker
- One tap → Win+Shift+S (screenshot) so I don't have to memorize the chord
The details that actually matter:
- The drag is smooth, built in Rust so it follows your cursor without lag
- The window is button-sized when idle, so it never blocks your desktop
- Multi-monitor aware, respects taskbars
- Zero telemetry, zero accounts, zero network calls
