About

Backgrind is an overlay window for AI coding agents, built for vibe coders and pro developers on macOS and Windows. It puts Claude Code, Cursor, or its hosted Grindy model in an always-on-top window that floats over whatever you are doing, so you can fire off a task, go build or play, and only get tapped when the agent actually needs you. Backgrind works as a thin frontend over the CLI you already use, keeping your login, history, hooks, and workflow intact while floating over your editor, browser, docs, or even a borderless full-screen game. The window can be dragged, stretched, recolored, faded through, summoned with a hotkey, or switched into click-through glance mode so your clicks and keystrokes pass straight to what is underneath. It flashes and chimes only when your agent needs approval, asks a question, or finishes. Backgrind also acts like a real mini-IDE, with a file tree, syntax-highlighted previews, rendered Markdown, and clickable file links.

About

NotchPixel is a Windows desktop utility that adds a customizable notch-style bar at the top of the screen, bringing frequently used controls and status information into a compact overlay. It provides media playback controls and synced lyrics, notifications, clipboard history, a temporary file shelf, widgets, reminders, app shortcuts, and quick controls for volume, brightness and Night light. Users can also view FPS and system statistics while gaming, capture screenshots and screen recordings, and monitor OBS and stream-chat activity. A local-network transfer feature sends files and text to a phone using a QR code. The interface supports configurable appearance, position, hotkeys and app-specific behavior, while settings and history are stored on the Windows PC. NotchPixel is designed for Windows 10 and 11 users, including people who stream, play games or want desktop tools available without switching windows.
