Windows Sidebar Gadgets

The advent of Windows Gadgets, available with Windows Vista and Windows 7, has enabled users to select and configure a set of tools with the specific set of functions that they require. These can be left permanently running and directly accessible on the desktop, without overly affecting other Windows operations.

Here at Kinesys, we believe that Windows Gadgets are an ideal way of providing access to those most-often-used everyday tasks. We also believe that gadgets should be very functional, while also being simple and efficient to use.

Below are several gadgets that we have developed, which can be downloaded and used by anyone, free of charge (although you are quite welcome, or even encouraged, to make a donation ;-). Please feel free to try them out, and if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, then by all means let us know (see support).

Other gadgets are in the process of being developed (as well as improvements on current ones), so if you like what you see so far, keep a lookout for more!
