The Smart Capsule is a floating interactive element positioned at the top-centre of each monitor. It behaves like a macOS Dynamic Island: it starts compact, expands when you interact with it, and can morph into an AI overlay with animated eyes. Under the hood, it is aDocumentation Index

PanelWindow defined in windows/smart_capsule/ and assembled per monitor through shell.qml’s Variants loop.
Three modes
- Idle
- Expanded
- AI Overlay
In idle mode, the capsule renders the IdleBar — a compact pill that shows either the current weather condition (temperature, icon) or a brief system status summary. It stays out of the way while still surfacing the information most relevant to the moment.
Internal components
| Component | Role |
|---|---|
IdleBar | Compact idle display (weather or system state). |
ExpandedCard | Two-tab expanded view with weather and media panels. |
AIEyes | Animated eye expressions that reflect AI activity. |
Keyboard shortcuts
Two built-in shortcuts let you jump directly to a specific tab of the expanded view:| Shortcut action | Effect |
|---|---|
toggleMediaIsland | Opens the capsule and switches to the Media tab. |
toggleWeatherIsland | Opens the capsule and switches to the Weather tab. |
AI integration
The Smart Capsule pulls from the same AI backend used by the AI Bot panel:- Weather summaries — Instead of raw forecast data, the capsule shows a concise natural-language summary generated by the AI (e.g., “Cool morning, carry a light jacket”).
- Music comments — When a new track starts, the AI can generate a short contextual comment about the song or artist, displayed as a brief caption in the Media tab.
- Dynamic colour gradients — The expanded capsule samples the current album art and applies a matching colour gradient to its background, creating a visually responsive media experience.
AI-generated content in the capsule requires a working AI backend configured in the Settings App. If no backend is available, the capsule falls back to showing raw weather data and skips music comments.
