ZenithBar
ZenithBar is a Windows utility that keeps media controls, calendar events, notifications, files, shortcuts, and clipboard history in a compact top bar.
Overview
ZenithBar is a Windows utility that places a compact activity island at the top of the screen. It gathers media controls, calendar events, notifications, files, shortcuts, and clipboard history into a single surface that appears when needed and can stay hidden when not in use.
The product is designed to reduce switching between apps and windows. It supports 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11, works with multiple monitors, and uses a local-first approach for clipboard data and files unless you choose an explicit Google Drive backup.
One island for the parts of your workflow that matter most
Calendar at a glance
Keep upcoming events visible at the top edge of the screen. The product can connect to more than one Google account and merge calendars into a single labeled list.
File access and drag-and-drop
Search, filter, and drag documents, images, and folders directly from the island into other apps.
Clipboard history
Browse copied text, links, images, and colors by type, with clipboard data stored on-device.
Quick access and timers
Pin URLs for quick access, and use built-in Pomodoro and stopwatch timers that continue running while the surface is hidden.
Quick notes
Write a formatted note and have it saved into clipboard history under Notes.
Practical ways to use ZenithBar
Controlling music during focused work
Keep playback visible while you work in another app, so you can check the current track and scrub without switching windows.
Checking the day without opening a calendar app
Track upcoming meetings from multiple Google accounts in one place, with calendars merged into a single labeled list.
Moving content between apps
Pull files, folders, or images from the island and drag them directly into the app you are using.
Recovering copied items quickly
Review copied text, links, colors, and images from clipboard history when you need to reuse something you copied earlier.
Keeping small utilities within reach
Pin URLs, write quick notes, or run short timers from the widget dock while keeping the main surface available for other tasks.
