See what your PC is doing
System Metrics shows CPU, memory, GPU, disk, network and temperature information in a compact taskbar view.
Built for Windows 11
WidBar adds widgets to your Windows 11 taskbar.
WidBar lets you place compact widgets in open spaces on the taskbar, so performance, media controls and small tools stay visible without taking over your desktop.
Everyday tools
Designed to stay helpful, not noisy.
WidBar keeps the experience close to Windows: quiet controls, native-feeling flyouts and widgets that stay compact until you need more detail.
Control media faster
Media Now Playing brings artwork, title, source and playback controls to your taskbar.
Read the headlines in place
News keeps regional headlines, trusted sources and your own RSS feeds one click away on the taskbar.
Check the sky without a tab
Weather keeps the temperature on the taskbar, with the next 24 hours and ten days behind one click.
