Quick Search
One box that does the thing, not just finds it.
Apps, files, folders, calendar, tasks, notes, clipboard and Windows settings — ranked together as you type. It answers sums and unit conversions inline, searches 100+ sites with a prefix, and turns a plain sentence into a finished calendar event.

68 widgets. All of them yours to arrange.

Flat — crisp, opaque, shadcn/ui.
Tahoe — soft, translucent, light or dark.
Right-click anything — duplicate, lock, centre, copy today’s agenda.

A dashboard, your pinned apps, bookmarks and folders, a full Google Drive manager, an event composer with guests, Meet links and repeats, and the machine’s own controls — eight tabs, one gesture.
Smart Search
Shake the pointer. Draw a box. Ask.
- Shake the mouse the way you would to find it — the screen freezes.
- Draw a box round anything: a chart, an error, a paragraph in a video.
- Ask — or tap Explain, Summarise, Translate or Fix. The words are read on your PC with Windows’ own OCR.

Copy text off the screen
If you can see it, you can copy it.
A licence key in an installer, an error dialog, a paused video, a scanned PDF that is really a photo. Kord reads the words straight off the screen with Windows’ own OCR — on your PC, nothing uploaded.

The screen freezes and every word lights up. Drag across the ones you want, the way you would in a PDF. Click takes a word, double-click the line, CtrlA everything, Enter copies.

The small things
Fast to learn. Faster once you know it.
Search every setting
CtrlF in Settings finds the switch you want and lights it up.
Scroll through time
Scroll over a month, week or day to move through it. Double-click the title for today.
Always current
Kord updates itself.
New versions download quietly in the background, are checked before they are installed, and go in the next time Kord restarts — or right away, if you press Restart now. No new installer to find, no settings lost.
What’s new in Kord 18.1
Two hundred small things, done properly.
Every item below is in the app today.
Local first
Your files are indexed on your PC. Screen text is read on your PC. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to ask Gemini.
No analytics
No telemetry, no tracking. Kord talks to Google only for the calendars, tasks and Drive you connect, and to the update server only to ask whether a new version exists.
Encrypted sign-in
Google tokens are encrypted with Windows DPAPI in your own user profile.
Questions
What do I need to run Kord?
Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit. About 250 MB of disk. A Google account is optional — it is only needed for Google Calendar, Tasks and Drive.
How do updates work?
Kord checks for a new version shortly after it starts and every six hours. You can turn automatic updates off in Settings → About and check by hand, or from the tray menu.
I used Aura before. Do I lose anything?
No. Kord is the new name. The first time it starts, it carries over your settings, widgets and sign-in automatically.
Can I move my setup to another PC?
Yes. Settings → About → Export settings writes a file; Import on the other PC loads it. Your sign-in stays behind on purpose.
How do I pause reminders?
Right-click the Kord icon in the tray → Pause notifications, for 30 minutes, an hour, two hours or until tomorrow morning.
