Widgets on the Windows taskbar

The Windows widgets panel opens over everything and disappears when you click away. If you want the weather, another time zone or your Pomodoro always in sight, they need to live on the bar.

Quick answer

The Windows taskbar doesn't take widgets of its own. Doca is a dock that puts widgets inside the bar: 40+, always visible, and different in each environment. A click opens each one's panel with more detail.

Real Doca widgets, in the Vivid colors style.

The most used widgets

Time: clock, world clock, analog, Pomodoro, focus timer, stopwatch, countdown and day progress.
Weather: now, the forecast and conditions for your city.
System: CPU and memory, network, disk space and battery.
Finance: currency and bitcoin quotes, with the month's chart.
Tools: Translator, notes, clipboard, color picker and more.
Games and work: Steam, Valorant, OBS, Docker and Claude Code usage.

Two styles: Glass and Vivid colors

In Glass, each widget is smoked glass with a touch of its color. In Vivid colors, each widget gets its own color, with a big drawing. You choose in Settings › Appearance, and it applies to all.

Missing one? You can build your own: a script that prints JSON becomes a widget on the dock.
