Everything on glass

Clear glass, your way

Crystal clear by default, with a Blur slider for as much frost as you like.

Always readable

Over a bright picture the glass darkens itself a little, so the words stay clear.

Put it anywhere

Drag it to the left or right edge, the top or the bottom, or leave it floating.

Live counts

Open windows, new downloads and the Recycle Bin, with a count beside each.

Search from anywhere

Press Ctrl+Alt+Space, type a few letters and press Enter.

Yours

Your apps and folders one click away, and your own logo, letters or picture, and title.

Respects your PC

Collects no data

Honest about changes

Noir Float changes no Windows setting. Even its Dark mode switch changes only its own glass.

Light on your PC

Every move is drawn by your graphics card at your screen’s full frame rate, and it rests quietly when idle.

Questions

Which Windows do I need?

Windows 10 version 2004 or later, or Windows 11. The glass needs “Transparency effects” turned on in Windows Settings.

How does the free trial work?

Try it free for 7 days with nothing locked. Then buy it once, with no subscription. The Microsoft Store handles the trial and the payment. The price is US$4.99; the Store shows it in your own currency.

Does it collect my data?

No. Noir Float has no accounts, no advertising and no tracking. It only goes online through the Microsoft Store, to check your licence. Read the privacy policy.

Why does the glass sometimes turn solid?

While Windows Energy Saver is on, Windows turns blur off for every app. The glass comes back when Energy Saver goes off.

How do I remove it?

Uninstall it from Start like any Store app. Its settings go with it.
