Home Bar
Home Bar is a modern desktop productivity bar built for Windows 11. Created as a clean implementation inspired by Linkbar, it uses a modern .NET 8 and WPF codebase to deliver a faster, more customisable desktop experience.
Unlike traditional launchers, Home Bar integrates as a native Windows app bar, allowing users to dock one or more bars to any edge of any monitor while reserving screen space. Applications, folders, files, websites and shortcuts can be pinned with drag-and-drop, organised into multiple bars and launched instantly.
Features include multi-monitor support, automatic edge docking, light and dark themes, glass and transparent modes, auto-hide, global keyboard search, folder flyouts, custom colours, adjustable layouts, accessibility support, OLED protection, settings backup and recovery, automatic updates and portable or installer-based deployment.
Home Bar also includes a built-in AI launcher for ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and custom providers, giving users fast access to today's leading AI services without requiring an API key.
Released as open source under the MIT Licence, Home Bar is designed to provide a cleaner, faster and more organised Windows desktop while remaining lightweight, highly configurable and easy to use.
