Frequently Asked Questions


What is CyberTray?

CyberTray is a system tray application launcher for Windows. It provides an animated shelf that slides out from your screen edge, giving you quick access to organized shortcuts, system monitoring, process management, and a secure file vault.


How do I show/hide CyberTray?

  • Click the system tray icon
  • Use the global hotkey (Alt+T by default)
  • Configure hot corners to trigger by dwelling your cursor in a screen corner

Windows shows a SmartScreen warning on install

Expected for new releases until Windows builds enough reputation for the file — see Installation & Setup: click More info, then Run anyway.


How does the Cyber-Vault work?

The Cyber-Vault is a PIN-protected folder for storing sensitive files. Enable PIN protection in Settings → Vault, set an auto-lock timeout, and use the "Desktop Sweep" feature to move all desktop files into the vault.


Can I import my existing shortcuts?

Yes. Drag and drop .exe or .lnk files directly into the shelf to add them. You can also organize shortcuts into categories and folders.


Does CyberTray support multiple monitors?

Yes. Choose which display CyberTray appears on, or use "Follow cursor" mode to show it on whichever screen your mouse is on.


How do I change the theme?

Go to Settings → Appearance and select from 5 neon themes. You can also customize the background, blur level, and opacity.


Is CyberTray free?

Yes. CyberTray is completely free and open source — no ads, no tracking, and no data collection.
