Your calendar and mail, the weather, stocks, music, timers, quick settings and how hard your PC is working. Put any of them on the taskbar, or gather them in a folder that opens with one click.
The Windows taskbar, with your day in it. See your next meetings and new emails, the weather and your music at a glance, and open folders full of widgets with one click.
Karpo shows your next appointment and your newest emails on the taskbar, from your Microsoft account or another calendar and email account. One click shows the whole day.
The weather, what's playing, how busy your PC is. Every widget opens with a click: the full forecast, your music controls, the details.
A folder opens into a small dashboard: clocks for three cities, today's agenda, your inbox, the forecast. Add what you need and put it in your order.
A taskbar for work with your calendar and mail, a dock for the evening with music and the weather, nothing but a timer when you need to focus. Switch in two clicks, or give every screen its own.
Every widget and every setting is in the free version. Karpo Pro lifts the limits.
Bought in Karpo through the Microsoft Store. Yours for good, no subscription.
What Karpo reads, where it keeps it, and how it fits your PC.
Only what it shows: the newest 30 messages in your inbox, your events from a week back to two months ahead, and your contacts. It only ever reads. Karpo can't send mail, change an event or mark a message as read. With a Microsoft account it asks for read-only access and nothing more.
It stays on your PC. Your passwords and sign-ins are encrypted by Windows for your Windows user alone, and so is the offline copy of your calendar and inbox. Karpo has no servers of its own, no account, no analytics and no crash reports. Your mail and events come straight from your provider to your PC.
Only the ones its widgets need: your mail and calendar provider, Open-Meteo for the weather (with your location rounded to about a kilometre), Yahoo Finance for stock prices, and websites and feeds you add yourself. When you add a mail account, Karpo looks up its server settings, which can mean asking Mozilla's Thunderbird directory about your email domain.
Microsoft accounts, personal or work and school (Outlook.com, Hotmail, Microsoft 365), for your calendar, contacts and mail. Any IMAP account for mail; Gmail and iCloud need an app password. CalDAV and CardDAV servers such as iCloud, Fastmail or Nextcloud for calendars and contacts. If your organisation doesn't let you approve apps yourself, an admin approves Karpo once.
Not yet. Gmail works for mail, through IMAP with an app password, but Google Calendar needs a kind of sign-in Karpo doesn't support yet.
Yes. Karpo puts a bar on every display. Each one can sit on its own edge, at the top, bottom, left or right, and show its own layout, or nothing at all.
Any time. Choose “Quit Karpo” in its settings and the Windows taskbar comes back as it was. If Karpo ever crashes, it gives the taskbar back on its own. To keep both, turn off “Hide the Windows taskbar”. To remove Karpo, quit it first, then uninstall it in Windows Settings like any other app.
Yes, on Windows 10 version 2004 or later as well as Windows 11, on 64-bit (x64) PCs. We recommend Windows 11. On Windows 10, Karpo uses Windows 10's icons, and a few quick settings only Windows 11 has, such as the mobile hotspot, aren't there.
No. Start and search are Windows' own, and Karpo's buttons open them just as the Windows taskbar's do. Karpo replaces the bar around them: your apps, the system tray, the clock and the widgets.
There is no Karpo account. Without internet it keeps going: the bar runs on your PC, and your calendar, mail, weather and stocks show what they last fetched until you're back online.
Set up your taskbar in a few minutes. You can always go back to the one Windows came with.
