Seelen UI
The Fully Customizable Desktop Environment for Windows 10/11
Seelen UI is a highly customisable desktop enhancement suite for Windows 10/11 that focuses on productivity, aesthetics, and workflow control by layering new UI capabilities on top of the existing Windows environment. It targets users who want deeper control over how windows are arranged, how apps are launched, and how desktop surfaces behave, without fully replacing Windows with another shell. A core component is its tiling window manager functionality, enabling automatic window layouts that make multitasking more structured and faster than manual snapping. It also includes an application launcher inspired by keyboard-driven launchers, helping users open apps, search, and run commands quickly without relying on the Start menu. The project integrates additional desktop modules that can surface useful controls directly in the UI, such as media controls compatible with common players, reducing context switching. -

komorebi
A tiling window manager for Windows
komorebi is a tiling window manager that works as an extension to Microsoft's Desktop Window Manager in Windows 10 and above. komorebi allows you to control application windows, virtual workspaces and display monitors with a CLI which can be used with third-party software such as AutoHotKey to set user-defined keyboard shortcuts. komorebi aims to make as few modifications as possible to the operating system and desktop environment by default. Users are free to make such modifications in their own configuration files for komorebi, but these will remain opt-in and off by default for the foreseeable future. -

Tauri
Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications
Tauri is an open-source framework for building lightweight and high-performance desktop and mobile applications using web technologies. It allows developers to create user interfaces with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript while using Rust for the backend logic. By leveraging the operating system’s native WebView instead of bundling a full browser, Tauri produces significantly smaller and more efficient application binaries. The framework supports multiple front-end frameworks such as React, Vue, Svelte, and others that compile to web technologies. Tauri provides a secure bridge between the frontend and the Rust backend, enabling native functionality while maintaining strong security practices. With cross-platform support, developers can build applications that run on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. -

SnapToWindow
A cross-platform (windows, macOS) window management application
SnapToWindow is a user-experience utility likely aimed at enhancing window management on desktop environments by enabling users to “snap” application windows into predefined screen positions or layouts using keyboard shortcuts or mouse gestures. These kinds of tools are popular for improving productivity, especially on multi-monitor setups, by letting users quickly align and resize windows to halves, quarters, or other grid arrangements without manual dragging. While official project documentation isn’t available from search, the repository name and conventions imply a small, focused tool that hooks into the native windowing system (on Windows, macOS, or Linux) to detect active windows and reposition them based on user commands. It helps streamline workflows for developers, designers, and multitaskers who juggle many open windows and want consistent, repeatable layouts. -

TapoController
TP‑Link Tapo L530 Controller
TapoController is a Windows desktop app that controls a TP-Link Tapo L530 smart bulb entirely on your LAN — no cloud, no vendor SDK. It uses an own, reverse-engineered implementation of the Tapo local protocol (KLAP). One-time requirement Enable "Third-Party Services" once in the Tapo mobile app. After that, all control is local (no internet needed). -

Accshift
One-click account switcher for Steam, Riot, Battle.net and Epic
Accshift switches game launcher accounts in one click, without signing out or retyping a password. It drives each launcher's own remember-me mechanism: the saved session is captured, one snapshot is kept per account on your machine, and the right one is restored on switch. No password is ever stored, and session data is encrypted at rest with DPAPI, the Keychain or the Secret Service. Launchers: Steam, Riot Games (Valorant, League of Legends), Battle.net (Overwatch 2, Diablo IV, WoW, Call of Duty), Epic Games (Fortnite, Rocket League), Ubisoft Connect, Roblox, and in testing GOG Galaxy, Jagex Launcher and Discord. Steam runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. Also: personas to switch several launchers at once, a streamer mode that blurs names and avatars while OBS or Streamlabs is running, folders, colour labels, search, a Ctrl+K command palette, a PIN lock, seven interface languages, and a scriptable CLI with accshift:// deep links.

Lang Switcher: Pause retypes a word typed in the wrong layout
Releases of Lang Switcher, mirrored from GitHub. Lang Switcher is a Windows 10 and 11 tray utility written in Rust: press Pause/Break and the last word you typed with the wrong keyboard layout on is retyped in the right one, and the layout switches. Works with any installed layouts, in pairs or a cycle of up to eight; fixes selected text; handles AltGr letters, dead keys and Arabic ligatures. No telemetry, keystrokes never written to disk. Licensed MIT or Apache-2.0. Documentation: panda-pishet-kod.dev. -

Alfheim ISE
A CC0 operating system written from scratch in Rust.
"Software is best, which imposes no restrictions" A full Creative Commons 0 licensed operating system (or rather a completely free operating system to do what you will with it) written in Rust, built for an AMD64 environment. We will not support x86 architectures. The future looks promising, once we get a full AMD64 environment stable, we will also work on an ARM64 environment and a quantum computer environment. Our goal is an in place replacement to our current everyday systems (The creators use Linux daily, and support Windows and MacOS systems at work) that doesn't have all of the bloated crapware that is invading all operating systems nowadays (just look at systemd). We will build our complete environment in Rust. All of our base apps will be in Rust, and we will build a Gnu toolchain replacement so if you would like 'x' open source software to be installed on the system it can. As such this will be a fully Integrated System Environment. -

CFONTS
Sexy fonts for the console
This is a silly little command line tool for sexy ANSI fonts in the console. Give your cli some love. cfonts detects what colors are supported on your platform. It sets a level of support automatically. In cfonts you can override this by passing in the FORCE_COLOR environment variable. All settings are optional and shown here with their default. You can use cfonts in your project without the direct output to the console. The package comes with a bunch of unit tests that aim to cover 100% of the code base. For more details about the code coverage check out coveralls. -

LeftWM
A tiling window manager for Adventurers
Left is a tiling window manager written in rust for stability and performance. The core of left is designed to do one thing and one thing well. Be a window manager. Because you probably want more than just a black screen LeftWM is built around the concept of theming. With themes, you can choose between different bars/compositors/backgrounds/colors, whatever makes you happy. LeftWM has been built from the very beginning to support multiple screens and has been built around ultrawide monitors. You will see this with the default key bindings. -

LeftWM Layouts
Library providing fixed but parameterized window layout calculations
This library encapsulates layout calculations from external dependencies and displays servers, so that it can be used by window managers for X.Org, Wayland, or whatever else. It's all about splitting up rectangles, the library has no concept of "windows". Some default layouts are provided, but custom layouts can be defined. Custom layout definitions allow some flexibility but are still fairly limited by design, as the target audience of this library is list-based / dynamic-tiling window managers (the likes of leftwm, dwm, ...) as opposed to manual tilers like i3. -

Wira Desk
Same-app window cycling, one-key snapping, and mouse button mapping fo
Wira Desk is a lightweight suite of desktop tools for Windows. It runs as an elevated system-tray daemon with a global low-level keyboard hook, enabling same-app window switching (cycling between windows of the currently focused app) and fast one-key window snapping and arranging -- halves, thirds, or a custom percentage per edge -- each shortcut configurable and toggleable on its own. A companion Settings app lets you view and change those shortcuts. The installer requires Administrator and installs to %ProgramFiles%, a deliberate choice: auto-start runs the daemon elevated at every logon with no prompt, so only an admin-writable directory protects that path. Auto-start is off by default; enable it yourself from the tray menu or Settings. Wira Desk is free and open source under the GPL-3.0-only license. The Settings window is built with Slint (https://slint.dev), used under its GPL-3.0-only license too. By Wira Digital Indonesia. -

baru
A system monitor written in Rust and C
Baru gathers the information from /sys and /proc filesystems (filled by the kernel). Except for audio and network modules that use C libraries. There is no memory leak over time. All modules are threaded. Thanks to this design (as well as Rust and C), baru is lightweight and efficient. It can run at a high refresh rate with a minimal processor footprint. The audio module communicates with the PipeWire/PulseAudio server through client API to retrieve its data. Wireless and wired modules use the netlink interface with the help of libnl to talk directly to the kernel and retrieve their data. Baru is modular. This means that only the modules you want to see are instantiated and executed. -

penrose
A library for writing an X11 tiling window manager
Penrose is a modular library for configuring your own X11 window manager in Rust. This means that, unlike most other tiling window managers, Penrose is not a binary that you install on your system. Instead, you use it like a normal dependency in your own crate for writing your own window manager. Don't worry, the top-level API is well documented and a lot of things will work out of the box, and if you fancy digging deeper you'll find lots of opportunities to customize things to your liking. Penrose was born out of my failed attempts to refactor the dwm codebase into something that I could more easily understand and hack on. While I very much admire and aim for minimalism in code, I personally feel that it becomes a problem when your code base starts playing code golf to keep things short for the sake of it. -

wmfocus
Visually focus windows by label
This tool allows you to rapidly choose a specific window directly without having to use the mouse or directional keyboard navigation. Thanks to cairo, it should work on all kinds of screens and automatically display at the correct size according to your DPI.
