On Mac

### Menu bar

Click the icon for your disk, a one-line summary and top to-dos, with **Clean**and**Open**. Right-click for**Quick Actions** such as Clean Junk and Find Duplicates.

### Notch

Hover over the notch, or use a shortcut you set. Tools include Shelf, Clipboard, Timers and Mirror. On a Mac without a notch, use the thin strip at the top centre.

Set it up in Settings → **Menu Bar**and**Notch**.

On Windows and Linux

### Tray

The tray panel shows readings, **Busiest apps**and**To do**, with**Clean**and**Open**.

### Top bar

A pill at the top of the screen, with the same readings and your tools. Set up both in Settings → **Top bar & tray**.

On Linux

The tray needs a desktop with tray support; GNOME needs AppIndicator. On Wayland the pill stays under windows, and ByteSweep's GNOME extension improves pointer tracking.

After the trial without a licence, these show one locked card with no readings.
