Xenon, a free touch dashboard for your PC

It runs on a CORSAIR Xeneon Edge, a spare monitor, a tablet or your phone: system stats, media and mic, a Deck of keys and a voice assistant.

Xenon installs on a Windows, Mac or Linux PC. This phone can be one of its screens.

The Xenon dashboard on a 2560 × 720 CORSAIR Xeneon Edge: music, calendar and the PC's sensors

Themes

Deep Ocean, free in the catalog. Sample data from the browser demo.

Xeneon Edge, monitor, tablet, phone

One dashboard that rearranges itself for each shape: a 24-column grid on a wide screen, two columns on a tablet, one on a phone.

The dashboard on a 16:9 monitor — **Monitor**Any display connected to the PC, touch or not. On first start Xenon asks which one to open on.

The dashboard on a Xeneon Edge — **Xeneon Edge**2560 × 720. Works with or without iCUE. Xenon on the Edge

The dashboard on a tablet held sideways — **TabletBeta**Paired by QR code over your Wi-Fi. How it works

The dashboard on a phone — **PhoneBeta**Nothing to install on it. Files go both ways. Setup

Drawn to scale: a 27-inch monitor, the 14.5-inch Edge, an 11-inch tablet and a 6.1-inch phone.

Controls

The keys and the prompts on the screen act on your PC.

The Deck widget with twelve keys: OBS scenes, recording, microphone, Discord, Spotify, playback, a screenshot and the lights — Deck
Keys that open apps and files, switch OBS scenes, send hotkeys, call webhooks and control Discord and Voicemeeter. One key can run several steps in a row, and a key can show the state of what it controls: here Play is lit because music is playing.
How the Deck works

The Claude Code widget asking to run git push, marked as publishing your work, with Deny and Allow, two sessions and the plan quota — Claude Code
When Claude Code asks to run a command, the request appears on the screen with Allow and Deny, and the quota of your plan stays in view.

Game mode

In the Xenon app on Windows, touching the dashboard does not take focus from the game you are playing. The frame rate comes from the game itself, measured with PresentMon.

Sensors and frame rate

Xenon AI

Ask out loud with "Hey Xenon". It works with Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic or a local model through Ollama, and with Claude Code and Codex on your own subscription.

Catalog

Themes, widgets and scenes made for Xenon, free or for supporters. Each one installs from a code, with a preview first.

Browse the catalog Publish yours

Create

Themes, animated backgrounds, pages, Deck profiles and widgets are made in the app or in code, and shared as a single code that anyone can paste into Xenon.

In the app, without code: Themes, backgrounds, pages, Deck keys and simple widgets each have an editor in the app. The maker’s guide
With Xenon AI: Ask for a synthwave theme or a page for streaming, and the assistant builds it while you watch. It stays off until you turn it on in Settings, AI.
In code: A widget is a folder with a manifest and an HTML file. It can read the sensors, the music and the agenda, and control music, volume, lights or OBS, with the permissions the person installing it approves. SDK documentation
In the catalog: When it is ready, send it in. Every entry is checked by hand before it appears, with your name on it. Publish in the catalog

Neon Clock, the first widget in the SDK guide: these two files, running on this page. It takes the colour of the theme shown at the top, as it would on the dashboard.
