INDEPENDENT MINDS. OPEN POSSIBILITIES.

Thoughtful tools.
Open by nature.

Good software should be yours to shape. We’re building open alternatives to everyday tools, with a little help from AI and a lot of human intention.

EARLY CONCEPT

01 / What ViberDock does today.

KEY FEATURES · ACTUAL SCREENSHOTS

A macOS-style dock for Windows 11, written in C++ with Direct2D. One static exe, no installer, no runtime. Everything below is running on a real desktop right now.

01 / THE DOCK

Icons that grow. Windows you can see.

Pinned apps and running apps side by side, magnified under the mouse. Rest on an app to see live thumbnails of every window. Badges for notifications, dots for what is open, and a now-playing card with cover art for whatever is playing.

  • Drag to reorder, drop files on apps and folders
  • Any screen edge, several docks, per monitor
  • Auto-hide: off, always, or when a window overlaps
  • Acrylic blur, glow, reflection and 3D shelf effects

The dock with window thumbnails and media player

Live window thumbnails, badges, volume, clock and now playing in one bar.
02 / TRAY & MONITOR

The tray, reinvented.

Windows' notify icons in a tidy grid, pinned as dock items if you like. Beside them a hardware monitor reads CPU, memory, GPU, disk and network, with HWiNFO sensors when it is installed. A notification centre keeps the badges.

System tray, hardware monitor and notifications

Tray icons, live system stats and notifications in a separate tray dock.
03 / DESKTOP WIDGETS

Widgets, with or without a dock.

Drag any widget from the drawer onto the wallpaper and it lives there on its own: weather, a calendar page, a clock, sticky notes, an agenda from your ICS calendars. They sit on the desktop layer, under your windows.

Standalone widgets on the desktop

Weather, calendar, clock and a sticky note, no dock required.
04 / CLOCK FACES & SCRIPT WIDGETS

Unlimited customization.

Clock faces are small files. Pick a railway face, a classic one, or a dark one for another time zone, or draw your own. Every widget is a sandboxed JavaScript program with a documented API, so the whole dock is extendable.

  • Analog and digital faces, any time zone
  • Widgets run in QuickJS with a watchdog and heap limit
  • Looks, layouts and themes you can save, import and share
  • Fifty steps of undo for every change, anywhere

Three clock faces

THE DIRECTION

Your desktop.
Your rules.

Two practical alternatives are taking shape. ViberDock brings your apps together; ViberShot will make it easier to capture, explain, and share what’s on screen.

01

Get to your apps

Keep your everyday Windows apps close in one clear dock.

02

Make screenshots useful

Bring capture, annotation, and sharing into a focused workflow.

03

Build in the open

Readable source, shared decisions, and contributions that make both tools better.

02 / THE IDEA

AI is the tool.
Open source is the point.

Commercial software has given us plenty of good ideas. We think more of them should have an open alternative: something you can inspect, change, and help make better.

AI lowers the barrier to getting started. It doesn’t remove the work of building something useful. We’re here for that work, one practical app at a time.

↳ SOURCE YOU CAN READ↳ SOFTWARE YOU CAN SHAPE↳ PRACTICAL TOOLS. SHARED PROGRESS.
03 / AN OPEN INVITATION

Less “someone should.”
More “let’s build it.”

You don’t need to be an expert to have a useful perspective. Code, design, testing, documentation — good software takes all of it.

WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED

ViberDock is in development, and ViberShot is in the early concept stage. Explore the dock source or follow along as the next project takes shape.
