Hot Corner

Latest Release License: GPL v2 Platform Sponsor on GitHub Buy Me A Coffee Ko-fi

A lightweight Windows utility that brings macOS-style hot corners (like GNOME Activities) to Windows, activating Task View when you move your mouse to the top-left corner of any screen.

✨ Features

  • Multi-monitor support - Works on all connected displays
  • Zero configuration - Just run and go
  • Ultra-lightweight - Minimal CPU and memory usage
  • Auto-refresh - Automatically adapts when you connect/disconnect monitors
  • Easy exit: Hold Ctrl+Shift while moving mouse to a hot corner to close the program

🎯 How It Works

Simply move your mouse cursor to the top-left corner of any screen and Task View will activate, showing all your open windows and virtual desktops.

The hot corner works by simulating Win+Tab keyboard shortcut to open Task View

  2. If needed, install .NET 9.0 Runtime
