WinStatusBar Puts a macOS-Style AI Menu Bar on Windows, Aggregating Claude, Gemini and More
mendesjuniorm · reddit · 2026-11-10
A developer released WinStatusBar, a free native Windows 11 top-docked menu bar built around AI: one box talks to Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Lenovo Qira, or local Ollama models with the active window attached as context. An Edit mode executes real tasks (rename files, fill spreadsheets), a local gateway exposes all AIs inside Codex's model picker, and panels show agent quotas and live hardware stats. No telemetry, per-user install, available via winget install winstatusbar.
