DynamicBar

A Dynamic Island for Windows. A pill at the top (or bottom) of your screen that expands into media controls, notifications, a timer, quick actions and system status.

Built with Tauri 2, Rust and React 19.

Features

• Live activity: media playback, volume, mic and lock-key toasts, battery and network status.
• Notifications: mirrors Windows notifications and keeps a history in the panel.
• Controls: lock, sleep, restart, shut down, screenshot, Wi-Fi, per-monitor brightness (DDC/CI for external displays, WMI for the laptop panel).
• Timer with presets.
• USB drives: arrival toast and safe eject.
• Camera and mic in use indicator.
• Keep awake and hide from screen capture toggles.
• WhatsApp privacy blur: a click-through pane over WhatsApp Desktop that shows a blurred copy of the window. Optional spotlight around the cursor. Hold Right Ctrl to reveal, Ctrl+Alt+B toggles blur, Ctrl+Alt+S toggles spotlight.
• Local HTTP API so scripts and coding agents can raise island notifications.

Build

Requirements: Windows 10/11, Rust, Bun (or Node), WebView2.

bun install
bun run tauri dev      # development
bun run tauri build    # NSIS installer in src-tauri/target/release/bundle
cd src-tauri && cargo test

Local API

Listens on 127.0.0.1:47800 only. Requests carrying an Origin header are refused, so a web page in your browser cannot post to it.

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:47800/notify -d '{"app":"build","title":"api","body":"Finished"}'

Endpoint	Body
POST /notify	{"app": "…", "title": "…", "body": "…"} (title required)
POST /claude	Raw Claude Code hook input (Stop, Notification events)

integrations/omp-dynamicbar.ts is a hook for oh-my-pi that notifies when a session finishes or needs input. Copy it to ~/.omp/agent/hooks/post/dynamicbar.ts.

Privacy

• Everything runs locally. Nothing is uploaded.
• The weather widget is the only network feature: it asks ipapi.co for an approximate location from your IP, then open-meteo.com for the forecast.
• The app reads Windows notifications, clipboard, media session and camera/mic usage state to show them in the island.
• The WhatsApp blur captures the WhatsApp window locally with PrintWindow. It is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta.
