Little Hours 1.0.0

A cozy floating desk widget for Windows — clock, alarms, timer, stopwatch, focus cycle and to-do list in one small always-on-top card, with the live time showing on your taskbar.

Install

Download Little-Hours-1.0.0-x64-setup.exe below and run it.

It isn't code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen will show a "Windows protected your PC" dialog on first run — More info → Run anyway. Signing costs money and this is a practice project; build from source if you'd rather not take my word for it.

What's in it

• Clock with an optional second time zone and an hourly greeting
• Alarms — one-off or repeating on chosen weekdays, matched on the minute so a sleeping laptop doesn't lose them
• Timer with presets, a stepper, and +1/+5 while running
• Stopwatch with laps, fastest and slowest highlighted, and it survives a restart mid-run
• Focus cycle with round dots, auto-continue, a seven-day history strip, and a link to a to-do item
• To-do list that persists
• Live time on the taskbar — the tray icon is repainted at runtime with the current minute, or the minutes remaining wrapped in a progress ring during a countdown, plus a badge on the taskbar button
• Four themes, dark by default; ambience (rain, waves, fire) synthesised at runtime with no audio files
• Frameless and transparent, drag from anywhere, always-on-top, opacity, click-through, a collapsed pill, hide-to-tray, remembers its position
• Global hotkeys: Ctrl+Alt+H show/hide · Ctrl+Alt+Space focus · Ctrl+Alt+C click-through
