KoBar is packed with tools designed to remove friction from your daily workflow. This section covers the core productivity features built right into the sidebar.

📋 Sequential Clipboard Manager

One of KoBar's flagship features is the Sequential Clipboard Manager, which uses a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) queue logic to streamline your copy-pasting tasks.

How it Works

Instead of constantly switching between windows to copy and paste single items, KoBar lets you batch your actions.

  1. Copy Mode: Turn on copy mode. KoBar will automatically "catch" your subsequent copies (using Ctrl+C) and assign them to sequential slots in the sidebar.
  2. Paste Mode: Switch to paste mode. Now, every time you press a global hotkey (like Ctrl+V), KoBar will paste the contents of your slots in order, one by one.

Key Capabilities

  • Adjustable Slots: Choose anywhere from 4 to 20 visible clipboard slots.
  • Image Support: The clipboard manager isn't just for text! It catches image data seamlessly.
  • Double-Click Reset: Quickly double-click the clipboard area to clear the queue and start fresh.

📝 Rich Notes Panel

KoBar provides a fully-featured, rich-text notes system powered by Tiptap, allowing you to jot down ideas without leaving your context.

Editor Features

  • Rich Text Formatting: Bold, italic, underline, lists, and image embedding.
  • Multi-Tab System: Organize your thoughts by creating separate tabs. Assign custom icons and colors to each tab for visual grouping.
  • Color Categories: Tag individual notes with color labels (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Orange) to signify importance or context.
  • Compact & Normal View: Switch between a dense layout to see more notes at once, or a comfortable layout for easier reading.

Advanced Capabilities

  • Voice-to-Text: Built-in speech recognition lets you dictate your notes hands-free.
  • Password Lock: Protect sensitive notes (like passwords or private data) behind a secure lock.

⏱ Focus Mode & 📅 KoCalendar

Stay in the zone and manage your time effectively directly from the sidebar.

Focus Mode

  • Customizable Timer: Set specific minutes and seconds for deep-work sessions (similar to Pomodoro).
  • Ambient Audio: Play built-in background melodies to drown out distractions.
  • Looping & Notifications: Set the timer to repeat automatically, and receive native desktop notifications when a session completes.

KoCalendar

  • Google Calendar Integration: Sync with your Google account to view and create events without opening a browser.
  • Monthly View: Navigate through months seamlessly and see your daily schedule at a glance.
  • Event Alerts: Desktop notifications keep you informed of upcoming meetings.

🧰 Additional Utility Tools

KoBar includes several mini-utilities to keep your desktop clean:

  • 📋 Snippet Vault: Save and organize frequently used text templates, code snippets, or AI prompts.
  • ✅ To-Do List: A minimal, draggable task list featuring priority ordering.
  • 📦 KoBox: A drag-and-drop staging area for files. Drop a file in, use it later, and let it auto-cleanup after 24 hours or when you quit.
  • 🔢 Calculator: A floating scientific calculator with full history support.
  • 📌 Pin Injector: Select any third-party window on your system and force it to be "Always on Top".
  • 🚀 App Launcher: Drag and drop shortcuts to pin your favorite applications right inside KoBar.
