Isle sits at the top of your screen. Closed, it's a small pill with a little face. It looks around, waves when you sign in, and hides in a game or a video. Hover or click and it opens. Music. Volume for each app. Clipboard. A timer, pomodoro, and today's calendar. Notes. Drop a file or a shortcut on it and open it later. Wi-Fi, brightness, night light. Battery, and a speed check. Stick it to the top or let it float. Change the color. If the face is too much, turn it off and keep the clock.
Lume is a native Windows notes app (WinUI 3, no Electron) that stays hidden until you need it. Shake your mouse or press a shortcut, write, and press Esc — it’s gone. Beyond quick notes: a scratchpad that does maths as you type, freehand drawing on notes, and local-first storage with optional OneDrive sync. Free for up to 20 notes. Reading, search and export always stay free.
Most AI tools make you screenshot, switch to a chat tab, upload, and switch back. Squint cuts that to one step: press a hotkey, drag a box over anything on your screen, and ask. The answer appears right beside what you selected, and you can ask follow-ups. Fast mode usually starts answering in 1-2 seconds; Best mode gives deeper answers. Built in Rust with native screen capture for speed. Works on Windows 10/11 and Linux (Wayland), with a free tier of 3 captures a day.
