Quick, plain answers about TrayPilot's features, requirements, and privacy.
What is TrayPilot for Windows?
TrayPilot is a Windows 11 system tray dashboard that brings supported monitor brightness controls, audio device switching and mute controls, live network adapter throughput, and selected Windows quick settings into one compact flyout.
Does TrayPilot work on Windows 10?
No. TrayPilot targets Windows 11 version 22H2 (build 22621) or later.
Does TrayPilot collect data or need an account?
No account is required, and TrayPilot has no telemetry or cloud service. It reads local system information for its controls; settings and diagnostic logs stay on your device. See the full privacy policy.
Can TrayPilot control any monitor's brightness?
External monitor brightness depends on DDC/CI support across the monitor, connection, adapter, and graphics driver. Some supported laptop panels can use a Windows brightness fallback. Hardware support varies.
Does TrayPilot inspect my internet traffic?
No. It reads local network adapter byte counters to estimate aggregate download and upload throughput. It does not inspect packet contents.
Can it route audio per app or switch HDR?
Per-application audio routing and changing HDR state are not included. TrayPilot can switch audio endpoints, control speaker and microphone mute, and show HDR capability and state as read-only information.
How do I open TrayPilot?
Launch TrayPilot and open its flyout from the system tray icon, or press its global keyboard shortcut. The default shortcut is Ctrl + Alt + Space; supported combinations can be changed in the flyout.
