hwtnb is a small, developer-focused publisher whose only public offering, SylphyHornPlus, extends the virtual-desktop capabilities built into Windows 10 and 11. The utility sits in the system tray and augments Microsoft’s Task View with extra keyboard shortcuts, per-desktop wallpaper support, on-screen notifications, and rules that automatically move specified windows to designated desktops when they open. Typical users are power-users and multi-monitor professionals who run several concurrent workflows—coding in one desktop, communication tools in another, creative suites in a third—and want to switch contexts without reaching for the mouse. Because SylphyHornPlus consumes minimal memory and exposes its settings through a plain-text JSON file, it is also popular among enthusiasts who run scripted or portable Windows installations and prefer lightweight, open-source alternatives to heavier desktop managers. The codebase is maintained on GitHub, accepts pull requests, and releases signed builds whenever Windows updates change the underlying virtual-desktop APIs. hwtnb’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always install the latest version, and can be queued alongside other applications for unattended batch installation.
