A native process manager for Windows, drawn entirely on the GPU. Watch what runs, gather the apps you care about into groups, and make it look exactly how you like.
The selection is a drop of clearer glass that springs between tabs, exactly like in the app. Try it: each tab shows the real screen behind it.
Screens use the built in demo machine.
Make it yours
Six palettes. Both sides of each.
Rune Aurora, Catppuccin, Rosé Pine, Tokyo Night, Kanagawa and Everforest, with their official light and dark variants. Pick one here and this whole page changes with it.

Three kinds of glass.
Panels refract and blur whatever drifts behind them, tinted toward your palette. Choose the style and strength in Settings, or switch the motion off to keep the GPU idle.
01
Liquid
Clear glass with a bright, refracting rim. The tab bar is made of it.
02
Fluted
Reeded glass that splits the colors behind it into ribs.
03
Frosted
Heavy frost for the calmest, most readable backdrop.

Built with Rune
Native, not a web view.
WinKillSwitch is plain Rust. Rune lays it out, animates it on springs and draws it on the GPU, and rune-fx supplies the glass. This is the real code behind a panel:
