KoBar
Your modular, always-on-top desktop utility sidebar.
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 workflow. Think of it as a Swiss Army knife that floats on your desktop: clipboard manager, notes, AI assistant, screenshot studio, media controller, and more, all in one sleek, customizable sidebar.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Ekrem, the creator of KoBar.
The Inspiration & Problem:
As a UI/UX and motion designer, my workflow is heavily "multi-threaded." I constantly jump between different creative tasks, tools, and ideas. I needed a desktop utility that could keep up with a non-linear, curiosity-driven workflow without forcing me into rigid systems or vendor lock-ins. Existing widgets were either too basic or required heavy, bloated setups.
The Solution:
I built KoBar out of personal necessity: a modular, always-on-top "Swiss Army Knife" for the desktop. It snaps horizontally or vertically, seamlessly adapts to multi-monitor setups, and houses everything from an AI Hub to quick utility panels right where you need them.
The Evolution:
What started as a personal utility hack has rapidly evolved into a scalable open-source project. Over the recent updates, we transitioned to a dedicated GitHub Organization, welcomed active contributors, and established a transparent fiscal host via Open Collective. We are strictly prioritizing quality, versatility, and community-driven development.
I am thrilled to share our latest v1.0.24 release with you today. I would love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or any thoughts on how we can make KoBar even more versatile for your daily setup. Let me know what you think! 🚀
