PayBeat

Real-time salary progress widget for Windows

---

Introduction

PayBeat is a borderless, always-on-top Windows widget that shows your real-time daily earnings down to the second. It lives in a corner of your screen and stays out of your way.

Features

• Linearly calculates earnings per second from your daily salary and work hours
• Four display modes (None / Normal / Mini / Flex) — double-click to open Settings
• Flex mode is a fullscreen "show-off" view with a huge earnings figure, full workday stats, and a decorative animated background
• Each mode remembers its last position independently, with multi-monitor support
• System tray icon with a context menu (display mode, Settings, About, Exit); left-click brings the widget to the front with a brief scale-up flash
• Global hotkey to show / hide all windows (default Ctrl+Alt+X)
• Optional lunch break deduction and weekend earnings
• Tray balloon notifications for an end-of-day reminder and earnings milestones
• English and Simplified Chinese UI, auto-detected from the OS locale
• Configurable opacity, refresh interval, and currency symbol
• Optional Windows startup registration
