A lightweight, modular hot corner manager for Windows 11.
Assign actions to any corner of your screen with animated visual feedback.
v1.0.2 — Free & Open Source
Watch how a hot corner triggers an action (like Task View) by simply moving your mouse.
Everything you need to supercharge your desktop workflow.
Configure each corner individually with its own action, animation style, color, and dwell delay.
Four animation styles — Arc, Corner Bar, Pulse, Fade Box — rendered with Qt hardware acceleration.
Suppresses corners in fullscreen mode to prevent interruption, with an optional toggle to allow triggers in maximized windows.
Pick any animation color per corner using a native color picker. Match your desktop aesthetic.
Drop a .py file into the scripts folder and it appears as a selectable action instantly.
Create actions visually — launch apps, open URLs, or send hotkeys — without writing a single line of Python. Python scripting still fully supported for power users.
Dark, Light, or System auto-detect themes. English and Spanish out of the box.
Hot corners span seamlessly across all connected screens. Turn it on or off as needed.
Fine-tune the trigger radius in pixels and customize the CPU polling interval for ultimate control.
Ready to use, no configuration needed.
Plus Custom Actions built with the Action Builder (launch apps, open URLs, send hotkeys) and any Python script dropped into the scripts folder.
Extend EasyHotCorners with your own Python scripts. Drop a .py file into the scripts folder and it shows up as an action.

import os
# Open your favorite app when you hit the corner

Important: You must have Python installed on your system to execute custom scripts.
No coding required. Build powerful actions in seconds: launch any application, open a URL in your default browser, or send keyboard hotkeys.
The Action Builder dialog — create, edit, and manage your custom actions.
Python scripting is still fully supported for advanced users who need more control.
