From the README
Bloom makes your Windows desktop feel alive.
Every transition is a physics simulation. Every element responds to touch. Every pixel is in motion.
Your desktop has been asleep for years. This wakes it up.
A notch at the top of your screen that adapts to what you're doing.
Scroll or swipe to switch modes. Watch it transform.
Music — album art, track info, playback controls. A visualizer that reacts to five frequency bands with spring physics. It moves when the music plays.
Command Center — WiFi, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb, volume, brightness. Everything you usually dig through settings for.
Status — Battery, weather. Your desktop, summarized.
Calendar — A month view with a Pomodoro timer. Focus without switching apps.
Each transition is spring-loaded. Width, height, border-radius, position — all animate independently. It feels mechanical. In a good way.
A taskbar that actually moves.
Bloom replaces your native Windows taskbar. It sits at the bottom of your screen, always there when you need it.
Drag to reorder. Hover for window previews. Right-click for context menus.
It's not an overlay. It is your taskbar.
