Poni is an interactive notch for Windows. Your music, calendar, weather, todos, AI chat and the files you use most all live at the top of the screen. Just move your mouse up there.
Windows 10 & 11 (64-bit) · ~4 MB installer · Updates itself · No account
Music & calendar: album art with a matching color glow, playback controls and your next meeting.
Two and a half minutes through every feature: music, tasks, focus, weather, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, and the little cat. The captions are in Indonesian, but the app itself is in English.
One small spot for the things you open most. Turn on the modules you need and hide the rest.
Album art with a glow that changes color to match, a visualizer that moves with the song, and playback controls that are always close by. Works with Spotify, YouTube Music, your browser, VLC and any other app that shows up in the Windows media controls.
Google Calendar, Outlook or any iCal link. Your next meeting shows up in Poni, with a reminder.
Ask a question, get ideas, or have some text written without opening a browser. Paste a Gemini API key (free from Google AI Studio) into Settings, and Poni uses the fast Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite. Claude, any OpenAI-compatible service, or Ollama on your own PC work too.
See the networks around you and connect with one click. New network? You type the password in Poni too.
The song that's playing, time left in your focus session, meetings, tasks that are almost due, and connected earbuds all show on the closed notch. When nothing is going on, Poni shows the time.
Scheduled focus and break sessions, with a countdown you can always see.
Drop files onto Poni, then choose: keep them on the shelf, zip them, convert images, or share them.
Volume and brightness show up as smooth sliders in Poni, in place of the built-in Windows pop-up.
Current conditions, hourly, and the next 7 days for your city.
Reminders to drink water and move around, breathing exercises, and 20-20-20 eye breaks.
Type or paste some text, press Ctrl+Enter, and the translation shows up right away. Use Gemini, Claude, any OpenAI-compatible service (OpenAI, OpenRouter, Groq, DeepSeek…), or Ollama on your own PC. Turn the module on first in Settings → Modules.
An optional 3D cat that glances toward your cursor.
Built with Rust. All your data stays on your own PC (%APPDATA%\Poni), and Poni only goes online for the features you turn on.
Click Download free. Pick the Setup version (…_x64-setup.exe) so Poni can update itself.
If you see "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway. The warning shows up because the app isn't signed with a paid code-signing certificate.
Poni sits at the top center of your screen. Point at it to open it, or press Alt+N. Everything is set up from the icon.
Needs Microsoft Edge WebView2, which already comes with Windows 11 and up-to-date Windows 10.
Yes, free and without ads. If Poni is useful to you, you can support its development through Gumroad or QRIS below.
SmartScreen warns about apps that aren't signed with a paid code-signing certificate. It doesn't mean the app is harmful. Every Poni update is digitally signed, and Poni refuses to install a file whose signature doesn't match.
Setup installs Poni on your PC and updates itself, so that's the one we recommend. Portable runs without installing, but you have to download new versions yourself. Poni tells you when a new version is out.
The Setup version checks for updates when it starts and every 6 hours. An update found at startup is installed right away. One found later waits until you're away from the PC, then Poni installs it and restarts itself. You can also check by hand in Settings → About.
Nowhere. Everything is stored in %APPDATA%\Poni on your PC. Poni only goes online for the features you turn on: weather (Open-Meteo), your calendar links, GitHub, AI Chat and translation (to the AI provider you pick), and update checks on GitHub.
Create a free Gemini API key in Google AI Studio (a Google account is all you need), then paste it into Poni under Settings → AI Chat & Translate. Open the AI Chat tab and start asking. Your key is stored encrypted on your PC, and your chat history stays on your PC until you press "New chat".
On Windows 11, Microsoft only shares the list of Wi-Fi networks with apps that are allowed to use your location, because the names of nearby networks can give away where you are. If the permission is off, Poni shows a button to Settings → Privacy & security → Location. Turn on Location services and Let desktop apps access your location. Poni doesn't send your location anywhere.
Yes. Poni's size and position, transparency, which modules show up, the default tab, the glow effect, Live Activities, keyboard shortcuts and even the 3D cat can all be changed in Settings.
Open Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find Poni and choose Uninstall. For the portable version, just delete the .exe file.

Free, light, and it updates itself.
