DevBar

The toolbar that gets out of your way.
A 125-pixel pill at the top of your screen. Hover for ports, clipboard, containers and Claude sessions, or press a key and ask Jarvis.

DevBar: hovering the pill unrolls the card, showing Claude Code sessions, then Ports where one click kills the process on 5173, then the clipboard and Jarvis, then it collapses

Windows has a taskbar for your apps, notification icons for background noise, and nothing for the handful of things you actually check fifty times a day: *is my Claude Code session done, what's in my clipboard, is anything listening on 5173, did I mean to copy that.*

Mac developers have a hundred menu bar apps for this. Windows developers got nothing. DevBar is that missing thing: a tiny pill docked to the top of your screen, about the size of a browser tab, that expands into a small card when you hover it and disappears the instant you don't need it.

  • Hover, not click. Glance up, it's there. Look away, it's gone. No window to alt-tab past, no icon to remember, no screen space reserved — every pixel outside the pill is click-through.
