Hey Product Hunt, I’m Akhilesh, the maker of Nock.
I was tired of the top of my screen doing nothing, and most Windows widgets ship a whole browser to draw a few pixels. So I built Nock in plain Rust. It’s about 1 MB, sits at about 0% CPU when idle, uses no webviews, and only redraws when something changes.
What it does:
Media controls for Spotify, YouTube, VLC and more, with artwork
Press Ctrl+Alt+T from any app to capture a task in about two seconds
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and power controls
A small buddy with animated scenes (“Friday deploy”, “You’re on mute”, “Cricket six”)
You don’t need to install it to try it. The notch on the landing page is live, so click around and try the speedrun.
It’s free and MIT licensed, with a Linux preview too. I’d love to hear which tab or feature you’d want next.
Quick q: does the focus timer mute the media tab and alerts while it runs?
