What it does

Layer turns your Windows desktop into a calm canvas of widgets — notes, clock, weather, now playing, system stats and dozens more. They sit behind your apps until you summon them with a hotkey. Free on the Microsoft Store.

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481
Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
