BentoPad

Everything you reach for, on one pad.

Screenshots, apps, commands, notes — line them up as tiles. Open the pad when you need it, click, and you're done.

01 · SCREENSHOTS

Screenshots go on the pad, not in a folder.

Copy a screenshot, open the pad, and press Ctrl+V — it becomes an image tile. Click it to copy the image again and paste it anywhere. Done with it? Just delete the tile.

02 · APPS

Your everyday apps, gathered on one pad.

Drag an app in from File Explorer or choose one from your installed apps — Store apps included. One click launches it, so your desktop can lose the shortcuts.

03 · COMMANDS

Commands, one click to run.

Click a tile to copy its command, or press play to run it in PowerShell, Command Prompt, or PowerShell 7. You can launch Claude Code the same way. Type each command once and never mistype it again.

04 · NOTES

Notes, always in the same place.

Copy some text, open the pad, and press Ctrl+V to make a text tile. Click it to copy — the pad closes and you're back where you were, ready to paste. Open the pad anytime, from anywhere.

Paste

Just paste.

Copy anything, open the pad, and press Ctrl+V. BentoPad picks the right kind of tile and drops it into the first free spot.

Tiles

Eight kinds of tiles.

Each tile does the right thing for what's on it. Make one by pasting, dragging, or using the + menu.

Text

Click to copy.

Image

Click to copy the image.

App

Click to launch. Store apps too.

File

Opens in its default app.

Folder

Opens in File Explorer.

URL

Opens in your browser, with the site's icon.

Command

Click to copy, press play to run.

Keystroke

Sends keys to the window you were in.

Pages

A page for every job.

Split your tiles into pages like Work, Dev, and Stream, and switch between them with the tabs or Ctrl+1–9. The free version has one page; BentoPad Pro gives you up to nine.

The Work page of the pad, with tabs for nine pages

Layout

Arrange it your way.

Three cell sizes, from a slim dock to big, glanceable tiles. Every tile moves and resizes on the grid.

SMALL CELLS

One row, like a dock

Set the cell size to Small and shrink the pad to a single row. Park it at the bottom of your screen and launch apps from it, like a dock.

Edit mode, with a tile being dragged into an empty cell

MEDIUM CELLS

Drag to rearrange

In edit mode, drag a tile anywhere on the pad. It snaps to the grid and never overlaps another tile.

Edit mode, with a tile being resized from one cell to four

LARGE CELLS

Resize in place

Pull a tile's corner to make it wide, tall, or big — up to the size of the pad.

Start from a template

Pick a template for office work, engineering, or streaming and get going right away.

Export and share

Bundle every page's tiles and images into one file — for backups, or to hand your setup to someone else.

Look

Make the glass yours.

Five themes, smoked or clear glass, glass opacity, and eight tile colors — pick what blends with your wallpaper.

Privacy

Your tiles never leave your PC.

Stored only on your PC

Text, images, and everything else in your tiles stay on your PC.

Online only for site icons

BentoPad visits a site only to fetch its icon when you make a URL tile. You can turn this off.

No usage tracking

BentoPad sends no usage data. Its logs stay on your PC.

Idle when closed

When closed, the pad hides completely and uses almost no CPU.

Pricing

Free to use. Go Pro when you need more.

FAQ

Questions

Is BentoPad free?

Yes. With one page and up to 12 tiles, you get every tile type, template, and appearance setting, plus export — free, for as long as you like.

Is BentoPad Pro a subscription?

No. Buy it once and it's yours. It also works on your other PCs signed in with the same Microsoft account.

Does it appear over full-screen games?

Not over games in DirectX exclusive full-screen mode, User Account Control prompts, or the lock screen. It does appear over full-screen browser video and full-screen Remote Desktop.

The hotkey doesn't work in a Remote Desktop session.

Remote Desktop may be sending the hotkey to the remote PC. Open the pad from the launcher instead.

A Keystroke tile doesn't work in some apps.

Windows doesn't allow sending keys to apps running as administrator.

Does it collect what I copy?

No. Only what you paste, drag in, or create with + becomes a tile.

How do I move to a new PC?

Export your tiles from Settings › Data, then import them on the new PC. Uninstalling removes your tiles, so export first.

What happens if my Pro purchase is refunded?

Pages after the first become unavailable. Your tiles stay and can still be exported, and buying Pro again brings everything back.

Still stuck? Contact us.
