The first build of Tomte to try out.

Tip

Tomte is on the Microsoft Store now, or winget install 9PG849MLVWZC. That version is signed and keeps itself up to date, so get it there unless you want this file. The two install as separate apps.

Warning

This build is not signed. It carries a self-signed test certificate instead of one Windows trusts, so Windows refuses to install it until you trust that certificate yourself (step 2 below). A signed GitHub build comes later.

Install

Needs Windows 11 22H2 or later, on x64.

  1. Download Tomte_0.1.0.0_x64.msix and Tomte-test-certificate.cer into the same folder.
  2. Trust the test certificate. Open PowerShell as administrator in that folder and run: 
    Import-Certificate -FilePath .\Tomte-test-certificate.cer -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\TrustedPeople
    Windows will then install anything signed with this certificate. Its private key never leaves the developer's PC, but only do this if you trust this build, and remove the certificate again once signed builds are out.
  3. Double-click Tomte_0.1.0.0_x64.msix and choose Install.

Tomte starts hidden, with an icon in the notification area. Push the pointer against the top edge of the screen or press Win+Alt+I to open it.

Remove

  • Uninstall Tomte from Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
  • Remove the test certificate, in PowerShell as administrator: 
    Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\TrustedPeople | Where-Object Subject -eq 'CN=Tomte Dev' | Remove-Item
  • Uninstalling also deletes what Tomte kept: Windows stores an installed app's data with the app and removes it with it.
  • API keys you entered stay in Windows Credential Manager. Remove the entries that start with Tomte/ai/ under Windows Credentials.

What's in it

  • Shelf, Shortcuts, Media, Scratchpad and Clipboard history in panels that grow out of the top edge.
  • Search for apps, files and settings pages (Win+Alt+Space).
  • Timers in the pill, and a pill that shows the song while music plays.
  • Optional AI on your own key: the AI box, Circle to ask, voice typing and drop zones.

Good to know

  • This build does not update itself. New builds will show up on this page.
  • x64 only.
