Hey everyone!
I wanted to share Dynamic Edge, a desktop utility I built for Windows 11 and Windows 10 using native WinUI 3 and .NET 8 (Windows App SDK).
The idea was to create a fluid, versatile desktop capsule and edge dock that feels completely at home with Windows 11 Fluent design, with zero Electron bloat, ultra-low resource usage, and smooth spring physics.
Since the initial release, I have added several big features including a full multi-tab workflow, clipboard shelf, and mouse gesture triggers.
Here is what it can do:
Multi-Tab Workspace (Swipe or Scroll to Switch)
- Switch seamlessly between Media Player, Mini-Apps, and Clipboard Shelf by rolling your mouse wheel or using a 2-finger touchpad swipe.
Universal Media Controls & Live Scrubbing
- Real-time seekbar progress with clickable scrub to jump anywhere in a track.
- Live audio visualizer bars with fluid equalizer animations.
- Multi-player auto-switching: Seamlessly cycle between active sessions (Spotify, Chrome, Edge, Apple Music, Telegram).
Clipboard Manager Shelf
- Captures copied text, images, URLs, and files into a dedicated dockable shelf.
- Filter chips for fast access: All, Text, Images, URLs, and Pinned.
- Search box for instant clip lookup, plus one-click copy and drag-and-drop support.
- Safe clear with confirmation flyouts so pinned items are never lost.
Built-in Mini-Apps
- Precision Countdown Timer with quick presets (1m, 5m, 15m, 25m) and a live visual progress line.
- Precision Stopwatch with millisecond tracking and lap recording.
Magic Shake & Global Hotkeys
- Magic Shake: Quickly shake your cursor horizontally back and forth to toggle the island on or off.
- Global customizable hotkey (Alt + H by default) to hide or show the dock instantly.
Master Volume Flyout
- Hover over the speaker button and scroll your mouse wheel to adjust system volume, or click for instant mute.
Flexible Docking Positions
- Dock at the top screen edge (Notch, Floating Capsule, or unobtrusive Thin Line hairline strip).
- Dock along the left or right screen edges as an interactive slide-out side blade.
Performance & Spring Physics
- 3 customizable quick launcher slots for instant access to apps, terminals, or folders.
- Battery and charging telemetry with clean neon-green status indicators.
- Native startup toggle and dark/light/system theme integration.
