Small desktop tools we build for our own setups and polish for everyone else. Same rules as our Unity assets: no telemetry, no third-party dependencies, and settings you can read.
Hot corners for Windows 10 and 11, with proper multi-monitor support.
The settings window shows your display layout live. Click a display to give it its own corners, or keep the defaults for all of them.
At a glance
Rest the pointer in a screen corner to open Task View, show the desktop, lock the PC, switch virtual desktops, run an app and more. Every display has its own four corners, and corners stay out of the way while you drag windows, play games or work in a full-screen app.
Requirements
Features
Multi-monitor
Default corners apply to all displays, and any display can have custom corners or be turned off. Displays are recognised by hardware id, so settings follow the monitor when you dock, undock or Windows renumbers them.
Actions
Show desktop, Start, Search, widgets, Alt+Tab, virtual desktops, window moves, snip, lock, displays off, media and volume keys, any keyboard shortcut, or any program, file or URL.
No accidents
Corners don't fire while a mouse button is held, while the pointer is hidden, over a full-screen app or an excluded app. A corner re-arms only once the pointer has moved away.
Shared corners
Corners where the pointer slides onto a neighbouring display are found exactly, so staggered layouts and different-sized screens work. They're off by default and you can turn them on.
Per corner
Each corner can have its own delay, and can repeat while the pointer stays in it. Handy for volume or for stepping through virtual desktops.
Mixed DPI
The app is per-monitor DPI aware. Corner sizes scale with each display's DPI, so a 4K laptop beside a 1080p monitor behaves the same on both.
WinHotCorners is a small tray app built on .NET 10 and WinForms. The first launch opens the settings window. After that it lives in the notification area: click the icon for settings, right-click it to turn corners on or off, or pause them for 15 minutes, an hour or three hours. The icon follows the light or dark taskbar theme.
A ripple shows in the corner when it triggers. It's click-through and never takes focus. Launching the app again just opens the settings window.
Settings are a plain JSON file in %APPDATA%\WinHotCorners, beside a small log. Comments and trailing
commas are allowed, and missing values fall back to defaults. Put an empty WinHotCorners.portable
file next to the exe and settings are stored beside it instead.
