Globlinv0.1.0

A portable Windows tray app that watches your global npm and bun packages, notifies you when one falls
behind, and updates it on a click. It never updates anything on its own.

Install

Download npm-globals-tray.exe and run it. There is no installer — it keeps its config in a
npm-globals-tray.json next to itself, so it can live on a USB stick or in any folder you like. Enable
Run at startup from the tray menu if you want it to come back after a reboot.

Verify the download

(Get-FileHash npm-globals-tray.exe -Algorithm SHA256).Hash.ToLower()

Compare the result with Globlin.exe.sha256.

Notes

• npm and @anthropic-ai/claude-code are ignored by default, because the first rewrites its own shim
  mid-update on Windows and the second updates itself. Remove them from ignore in the config to manage
  them here.
• Checks run at startup and every six hours; a notification is only raised when the set of outdated
  packages actually changes.
• See the README for the full config reference and how to remove the app cleanly.
