Describe it. Your desktop builds it.

Home is the desktop itself.

One centred column on any empty Space: the date, Make something, one line of system health, your pinned apps and a search pill. At rest the whole shell draws nothing.

Say what you want.

Describe a widget, panel, command or service. Your model writes it, and genui runs it once with the network off inside bubblewrap, then loads its QML headlessly in a second sandbox before you see it.

You approve what it may touch.

Reads, writes, network, D-Bus and the router each appear by name. Nothing runs with those permissions until you approve them, and an update that asks for more stops until you say yes again.

Let the machine notice things.

The Library holds 24 ready-made workflows and loops and 12 genui plugins. Workflows run when something happens: the charger comes out, you join a metered network, a Space changes, a USB board is plugged in. Loops always stop, at a run limit or a spending cap.

Every workflow is yours to edit.

Drag steps by their grip, add them from the palette, set the trigger, inputs and permissions. "Match the steps" fills the permissions in for you. Your copy saves to your own folder and replaces the Library's.

Quick settings, one key away.

Volume and the output device, brightness for every screen, the keyboard light, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb, the microphone, airplane mode, the power mode and the ad blocker. Tiles appear for the hardware you have; Tab walks them and Esc closes.

Notifications that stay quiet.

The shell is the notification server: toasts under the bar, a history behind the bell, and Do Not Disturb with a VIP list of apps or words that still get through.

Find anything, or ask for a timer.

Search ranks apps by how often you open them and also finds open windows, Settings pages and actions. It does maths, and timer 25m tea or alarm 7:30 sets one. Spaces and Alt+Tab remember the order you used things.

Hold Super+H and say it.

jev writes down what you said with whisper.cpp or your router, works the desktop through your models and answers out loud. It asks before anything risky, stops at 12 steps or $0.10 per request by default, and Esc or the word "stop" ends it at once.

In this capture a stand-in answered instead of a real model.

Pages behind Home, notes on them.

Desktop 1 is your Desktop folder; more pages are folders inside it, and an empty one goes away when you leave. Sticky notes come in five colours, with undo and a reminder bell.

No ads in any app.

Every app's DNS goes through a local blocker with HaGeZi's lists; everything else leaves encrypted to Quad9, then Cloudflare. Pause it, sign in to a café Wi-Fi, or allow one site in a click. If the blocker stops, DNS falls back to your network by itself.

Your disk, back from node_modules.

Developer storage finds the folders a tool can rebuild (node_modules, virtualenvs, build output) and shows what removing them really frees. It never touches files tracked by git. pnpm, Bun and uv keep one copy of each package for every project.

Sound themes made for it.

Four themes to choose from, Quiet Glass, Air, Arc and Bloom, each with 37 short cues for notifications, the charger, USB, screenshots, voice control and your timers, plus a startup chime once the desktop is ready. Do Not Disturb keeps them quiet except for what needs you.

Your desktop, on your phone.

RDP, k-hole's own browser app, RustDesk, Moonlight or VNC, reachable over Tailscale only unless you allow your network. During a stream, a control bar gives you touch, right-click, drag, zoom, modifier keys and a keyboard.

Every Fn key does its job.

Volume in 5% steps (Shift goes to 150%), brightness on every screen, external monitors over DDC/CI, the display key, airplane mode, the touchpad key. Each shows a small indicator, and they keep working while the shell is down.
