PopCorner was created to bring the convenience of hot corners to Windows, just like you would expect them on a Mac or Linux (GNOME) system.
Each of the four corners of your screen can be configured independently, allowing you to quickly trigger actions without reaching for a keyboard shortcut or navigating through menus.
PopCorner is designed to be simple, lightweight, and unobtrusive. It runs quietly in the background and stays out of your way until you need it.
