Glass with depth.

THE PC COMPANION
WinDock for Windows
Your quiet companion in the system tray.
The whole dock starts here.
How to install
Open WinDockSetup.exe and follow the installer. WinDock appears in your Start menu and Windows system tray. Everything it needs is included. Starting with Windows is optional.
The installer is unsigned. Windows may show a publisher warning. Only run a copy you trust. If prompted for network access, allow it on your private home network.
LINUX PREVIEW
WinDock for Linux
Your Hyprland desktop, within reach.
Connect with the same Android companion.
Build and run
Extract the source ZIP and follow the setup guide to install the desktop tools and touchpad permissions. In the extracted folder, run npm ci and npm run build:linux, then npm start.
A source build runs in the foreground: keep the terminal open for the address and pairing PIN. This preview targets Hyprland. Full GNOME and KDE support, a tray icon and autostart are not available yet.
How to install
On Arch or Omarchy, run sudo pacman -U ./WinDock-linux-x64.pkg.tar.zst in the download folder. On Debian or Ubuntu, run sudo apt install ./WinDock-linux-amd64.deb.
Open WinDock from your application menu for the address and pairing PIN. The package brings its own runtime and touchpad permissions, so nothing needs compiling. Close any connection window from an older package before opening the new host.
WinDock keeps running after you close the window. Open it again to see the connection, press S to stop, or run windock stop. Background mode needs a systemd user session; if WinDock says it is running in the window, keep it open.
Linux support remains Hyprland on x86-64. A tray icon and autostart are not available yet.
Linux SHA-256 checksumsTHE TOUCH EXPERIENCE
WinDock for Android
One phone. A whole new workspace.
Made for a sideways point of view.
How to install
Download the APK on your Android phone and open it. Android may ask you to allow installation from your browser or file manager.
Update both the PC host and Android app for Switch PC, clipboard history and update checks. Public Android 0.2.2 and later builds update in place and keep phone settings. Older public builds use another signing key and must be uninstalled first; that resets phone-only preferences, while your PC dock stays. Reopen the app and scan the computer’s code for secure pairing. Existing secure pairings are retained.
