Everything Panels does
Panels are bars. Tiles are what goes on them. Mix any tiles on any number of panels, on any edge of any display — or free over the desktop as widgets.
Where a panel sits
Two choices, and they are independent of each other.
An edge
Top, bottom, left or right, on whichever display you choose. Vertical and horizontal layouts both size their tiles to the space they are given.
…or a widget
On no edge at all: a free, movable, resizable window that can size itself to its content. Lock it and a stray drag cannot shift it.
Docked, or not
A docked bar reserves its strip of edge exactly like the Windows taskbar, so a maximised window stops short of it. Undocked, it sits there reserving nothing and windows extend underneath.
Your coding agents, on a tile
Claude Code and Codex, every session on this machine, with a window for reading along, answering their prompts and typing to any of them.
See them all
A card per session: the project, the model, what it is doing right now, and how full its context is. Terminals you opened yourself are picked up too.
Answer from here
A permission prompt or a question comes to the window with its answers as buttons. Press a number, or type a reply. Change the agent's mode from a combo.
Chat without a project
A Codex chat in a window of its own, from the agents window or from the Start tile, kept by Codex and there again after a restart.
And three games
Played with windows rather than in one. Every piece is a real panel wearing your theme, moved around the desktop as the game runs. All three live in the Panel Manager, off the Start tile.
Panel Paddle Free
Pong, except the paddles go anywhere — yours is dragged in both axes, so you cut the ball off rather than only rise to it. Pick your paddle up and the rally starts.
Panel Pew Free
Asteroids, where the rocks are windows the size of tiles. Shoot one and it breaks into smaller panels. The ship is your mouse: click to take hold, hold to fire, tap to let go.
Panel Pilot Free
Lunar Lander. One ship falling under gravity, one pad to put it on. Point the nose at the pointer and squeeze to burn; land slowly and level and the next pad is narrower, the gravity stronger, the tank smaller.
Themed, per panel
Colour, opacity, brightness, blur and acrylic, corner rounding, borders, margins and font — set independently for each panel, so two panels on the same desktop can look nothing alike.
Follows Windows
Theme mode is System, Light or Dark. System tracks the Windows app mode and changes with it.
Make your own
Panels ships with five themes. Create one from whatever you have set up, name it, and share the file.
Faces
A surface for the panel — glass, prism, frost, neon, carbon — and a look for the tiles' readouts, from brushed metal to nixie tubes and LED segments. Adaptive colour shifts a theme to suit light or dark mode on its own.
Window actions
Drop the cross hairs on any window to have Panels move, resize, restate or send it to a virtual desktop every time it appears.

Free tiles included, with no time limit and no nag.
