Dangle for Windows
A little charm for the top of your Windows screen

Dangle on Windows: questions
Which versions of Windows does Dangle run on?
Windows 10 and Windows 11, on x64 PCs and on ARM64 PCs such as Snapdragon laptops.
Why does Windows say "Windows protected your PC"?
The installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen does not recognise it. Choose More info, then Run anyway. Dangle collects no data and only goes online to check for updates.
Will Dangle slow down my PC or get in the way?
No. It only reacts when you touch the charm itself, hides while something is full screen, and pauses its small animations on battery.
How do I update Dangle on Windows?
Open About and choose Check for updates, then Download and restart. Dangle installs the new version and opens again by itself.
How do I remove Dangle?
Like any app: Settings, Apps, Installed apps, Dangle, Uninstall. To remove your settings and imported charms too, delete the Dangle folder in %APPDATA%.
