Welcome to the KoBar Wiki! 🚀

alt

KoBar is your modular, always-on-top desktop utility sidebar. Designed as a multi-threaded creative assistant, it lives on the edge of your screen, ready to help you without breaking your workflow.

📖 What is KoBar?

KoBar is a frameless, transparent, always-on-top desktop sidebar built with Electron and React. It docks to either edge of your screen and provides instant access to a rich set of productivity tools, all without leaving your current context.

Think of it as a Swiss Army knife that floats on your desktop. Whether you need a clipboard manager, a rich notes panel, an AI assistant, a screenshot studio, or a media controller, KoBar brings it all together into one sleek, customizable interface.

The KoBar Philosophy

  • Zero Friction: Accessible instantly via edge-docking or customizable hotkeys.
  • Context Preservation: Always on top and transparent. You don't have to switch windows to use your tools.
  • Modular Design: Use only the tools you need. Drag, drop, and customize your layout.
  • Cross-Platform Vision: While heavily optimized for Windows, we are actively developing to ensure macOS users get the same seamless experience.

🎯 Who is KoBar For?

  • Power Users & Developers: Manage code snippets, keep track of sequential copies with the clipboard queue, and use AI right next to your IDE.
  • Creatives & Writers: Take rich notes, use voice-to-text, capture annotated screenshots, and control background music to stay in the zone.
  • Anyone Looking to Optimize Their Desktop: Clear the clutter of multiple open apps and consolidate your daily utilities into one elegant sidebar.
