Happy
The notch, and its hub
Home, Focus, Shelf, Clipboard and Notes, one click away. It never takes the keyboard from the app you're in.
New For Windows 11
Remind, don't control.
A quiet island and a bar strip at the top of your screen, and Happy, who lives there. Focus, breaks, music, calls, files, your coding agents and an assistant that uses your PC, a glance away and never in the way.
Settings
The island
It lives at the top of your screen.
Rest the pointer on the notch and it grows into what's going on; click it and the hub opens. Home is a set of tiles you arrange: today, what's next, quick switches, volume and the clock.
Focus, when you choose
Pomodoro rounds, a daily goal, a label, presets you edit. Pauses when you step away.
To-dos and notes
A to-do can remind you, sit in the bar or be marked important. Notes open as cards. Ctrl + Alt + Shift + N, from any app.
Timer and stopwatch
Small bubbles beside the notch, with laps, so the tea never surprises you.
Reminders, never orders
Water, a stretch, your eyes, a walk, your posture, your own. Take the break, snooze it or skip it.
The bar strip
A strip across the top, your way.
Pills for today, the pomodoro, reminders, your to-do, how long you've been in one app, whether you're at your desk, who's using the mic or camera, agents, notes, the shelf, your PC, sound and Control, fitted to any width: hide any of them, and what doesn't fit tucks into More. Pinned, it keeps the top of the screen free, so windows start below it. Three switches in its Control panel decide the rest: Background gives it a frosted strip tinted by your wallpaper (off, it's see-through), Auto-hide tucks it away until the pointer rests at the top edge, and Bar unpins it, leaving the island alone. When a video or game goes full screen, the island becomes a thin line, or hides until something needs you.
Frosted, or out of the way
Every pill opens a panel. Your PC shows its processor, memory, network and a speed test. Control holds Quiet (it follows Windows' Do not disturb), Calls, Stay awake, Less motion, brightness and the bar's own switches.
Unpinned: the island alone
Turn Bar off and only the notch stays. A window up under it? It thins to a line that fills as your focus or timer runs. Hover the line and the notch is back.
Which pills, how it looks
Show or hide each pill, glass from tinted to clear, what happens over full screen apps, battery alerts and the mic and camera dot.
Happy, your assistant
A small friend who does things.
Tap it, press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + H, or turn on the wake word and say “Hey Happy”. It hears you and answers in its own voice, all on this PC; pick from voices you can hear before you download them. Or talk through Gemini Live with your own Google key: Happy asks before anything goes to Google. Pick which moments it plays in Settings. Try a mood:
Just ask
Volume, brightness, Wi-Fi, apps, any Settings page, and your focus, timers and notes. Nothing you say is saved.
One sentence, the whole job Experimental
“Get the Acme invoice, reply that I'm paying today, remind me at 5.” With your Google key, Happy works Outlook step by step, saves the file to the shelf, asks before it sends, and sets the reminder.
Hands long jobs to Hermes Experimental
Optional: connect Hermes, a separate AI assistant, for long research and writing. It asks before anything risky.
Sound and calls
Music from any app. Calls, one tap.
Whatever plays shows in the notch with its cover; when an app takes your mic, the notch becomes a mute button. And when Bluetooth headphones connect, a card shows them with their battery.
Every app's volume, and safe listening
Each app's level and where it plays, your mics, focus noise, and how much of this week's safe dose your headphones have used.
Now playing, with the words
Spotify, a browser, anything: its cover, seek, shuffle, repeat. Tap Lyrics and they follow the song, line by line.
In a call, one tap mutes
Green while they hear you, red when they can't. Hold Ctrl + Alt + Space to talk.
Files, notes and your day
A shelf for files in transit.
Drop files on the island and drag them out later. New downloads and screenshots land there on their own; pin what should stay, the rest leaves after the time you choose. What you copy has its own tab, Clipboard. And your day, hour by hour.
Pick a file, it shows what it can become
Pictures to PDF, JPG or PNG, shrink them, copy the text off one. Combine PDFs, make them smaller, turn pages into pictures, zip and unzip. A click opens a big preview; tick several, as in File Explorer, to act on them at once.
Your day, week, month and year
A day hour by hour, with its longest stretch without a break and a gentle tip. Weeks against your usual, a month as a calendar, a year at a glance. Save a copy of it all to Downloads, as one file.
Everything you copied, a click away
A strip of cards: copy one again, open a link, pin it to the top, edit it, or filter to links. Removed by mistake? Undo.
Coding agents and presence
Your agents, on the island.
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Antigravity ask right where you look. And, if you turn it on, it notices when you step away.
Approve without switching windows Experimental
Each step as it happens, and a small preview of the latest edit; the command when it asks. Allow, deny, or always allow. Your plan's limits, a glance away.
It notices when you step away
Off until you turn it on. The points of a body, never faces; nothing kept. Focus waits until you're back, and typing on a break gets a gentle nudge.
Privacy
