A very simple app for minimizing any window to tray as an icon. Runs in the background.

In case it terminates unexpectedly, restart the app and all the icons for minimized windows will come back.

Windows 7 or later required.

NB: Does NOT work with apps from the Microsoft Store (see #3).

A binary is available here.

No installation required, just run Traymond.exe.

• Win key + Shift + Z: Minimize the currently focused window to tray.

• Double click on an icon: Bring back the corresponding hidden window.

• Tray icon menu accessible by right-clicking the Traymond tray icon:

  • Restore all windows: Restore all previously hidden windows.

  • Exit: Exit Traymond and restore all previously hidden windows.

Traymond now listens on UDP port 5555 for JSON commands, allowing you to control windows programmatically.

1. Focus Window (Standard) Brings a specific process's window to the foreground. If the window is hidden in the tray, it will be restored first.

   { "action": "focus_window", "process": "notepad.exe" }

2. Focus Window (TopMost) Brings the window to foreground and forces it to stay on top of other windows.

   { "action": "focus_window", "process": "notepad.exe", "topmost": true }

3. Hide Window Minimizes a specific process's window to the system tray (even if it doesn't natively support it).

   { "action": "hide_window", "process": "notepad.exe" }

The application now requires a valid license key to run.

• On first launch, if no license is found, it will display your Machine ID.
• Use LicenseGenerator.html to generate a license.key file using this Machine ID.
• Place license.key in the same directory as Traymond.exe.

> nmake

Please read this if there are any troubles.

Import and build using the project files (thanks, Tyler Szabo).

Defines at the top of the file control the key and the mod key for sending windows to tray (use virtual key codes from here and mod keys from here):

#define TRAY_KEY VK_Z_KEY
#define MOD_KEY MOD_WIN + MOD_SHIFT
