# Widget windows

> Open the Assistant, dialer, calendar, and tasks as floating windows over your work.

Some tools in Custral open as **floating windows** over your workspace instead of taking you to a separate page: the [Assistant](/ai/overview), the [dialer](/comms/voice/dialer), the [calendar](/comms/calendar/overview), and your [tasks](/team/tasks/overview). Each window is draggable and resizable, and the page underneath stays fully usable, so you can keep working with a tool open beside you.

<Note>
  These are the floating **windows**, the app chrome that hosts a tool. They're different from the embedded [widget blocks](/blocks/widgets/overview) (like the dialer or agent block) you place *inside* a page.
</Note>

## What you can do

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Float it anywhere" icon="up-down-left-right">
    Drag a window by its header to position it, and drag an edge to resize.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Pin it to the side" icon="table-columns">
    Pin a window to the right edge and the page content splits beside it, so nothing overlaps.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Dock it to the bar" icon="window-minimize">
    Tuck a window down onto the widget bar to get it out of the way without closing it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Combine into tabs" icon="folder">
    Drag one window's header onto another to group them as tabs, and drag a tab off to split it back out.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## The widget bar

The **widget bar** is the launcher for these tools. It shows the widgets you have open, in the order you opened them; the **+** at the end reveals everything that isn't open yet. Click an icon to open or hide that widget.

A window for a tool that also has a full page (like the Assistant) carries an **Open full page** button in its header that takes you to the full screen and closes the window.

## What sticks

* **Open windows** come back after a page reload, for the current session, so a refresh doesn't lose your place.
* **Size and position** are remembered per widget on your device, so each tool reopens where you last left it.

## Troubleshooting

**A widget is covering my content.**
Pin it to the right edge (the page splits beside it) or dock it to the widget bar. Floating windows sit on top by design; pinning and docking give them their own space.

**My open windows didn't come back after I closed the app.**
Open windows are remembered for the **session**. A reload restores them, but fully closing the app doesn't re-open them next launch. Each widget still reopens at its last size and position when you open it again.

**I closed a widget and its icon disappeared from the bar.**
That's expected. The bar shows only what's **open**. Reopen it from the **+** menu, which lists every widget that isn't currently open.
