Taskbar Town
Join the beta
A tiny town that lives on your taskbar.
It sits along the bottom of your screen while you work. Neighbours walk to the bakery, the shop windows light up at dusk and a newspaper arrives every morning. Coming to Steam for Windows.
In this town it is 10:00
The town stays above your windows, and clicks on the empty sky go straight through to whatever is behind it. Only the street itself is clickable.
Full-screen apps, games and presentations make it hide by itself, and it comes back when you are done.
Day and night follow your computer's clock. Rain, snow and fireworks come and go, and the windows light up one by one when the sun goes down.
Residents chat on the pavement, dream of the shop they want next door, fall in love and get married. The newspaper tells you what you missed.
64 buildings, from the first bakery to the stadium. Earn coins while you work, buy new lots, decorate the street and fill the Book.
A Pomodoro focus mode for work sessions, and a radio with four stations of pop, lo-fi, jazz and chiptune to unlock.
Fifty seconds of the town on an ordinary working day.

Windows 10 or 11. With more than one monitor you choose which one the town lives on, and it can be set to 1x, 2x or 3x size for big screens.
It draws at a low frame rate, slows down further when your mouse is away from the street and almost stops when it is hidden. A battery saver option cuts it back again.
Taskbar Town is coming to Steam. The date and the price will be announced here first, and there will be a free demo with the first buildings.
English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, Bengali, Arabic and Russian. The shop signs and the newspaper change with it.
One click on its small icon next to the clock hides the whole town, and another brings it back. It has no button on the taskbar.
