Hangly by the numbers.
Every figure here is counted from the application's own source at build time. None of it is typed in by hand, which means none of it can quietly go out of date.
Quick answer
Hangly lists 55 charms across 11 collections and ships 75 charm artwork files. It runs on macOS 14 or newer as a universal build, and on Windows 10 or newer with separate x64 and native ARM64 builds. The macOS release is 2.0.0 at 34 MB; Windows is at 0.9.4 and is still a pre-release. It is free on every platform.
Key takeaways
- 55 charms listed across 11 collections
- 75 charm artwork files ship in the app
- Three builds: macOS universal, Windows x64, Windows ARM64 native
- macOS 2.0.0 at 34 MB, down from 89 MB before 2.0
- Free on every platform, with no account and no paid tier
How these numbers are counted
Two different charm figures appear on this page and they measure different things, so it is worth being precise rather than picking the flattering one.
55 charms is the number listed across the 11 published collections on the product page. That is the figure to use when comparing against another app's published catalogue, because it is the like-for-like number.
75 artwork files is the number of charm SVGs shipping in public/charms, with a matching 75 in the connected variant directory that adds the per-charm thread path. This is higher than the listed count because artwork exists for charms that are not currently placed in a published collection — seasonal charms and work in progress among them.
Both are produced by scripts/generate-stats.mjs, which reads the collections component, the artwork directory and the Sparkle feed at build time. If a number here is wrong, the underlying data is wrong, and that is a better failure than a page that is confidently stale.
Collections
| Collection | Charms | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Protection | 3 | A little luck. A little protection. A feeling of home. |
| Marvel | 5 | For the hero behind the screen. |
| DC | 5 | Iconic symbols. Extraordinary company. |
| Tamil Divine | 5 | Sacred symbols. Familiar stories. Close to home. |
| BTS | 7 | A little purple in your everyday. |
| Football | 5 | A little piece of match day, always within reach. |
| Stranger Things | 6 | For late-night mysteries and the bravest of friends. |
| Singers | 5 | A little music for every moment on your desktop. |
| Breaking Bad | 7 | A little danger. A lot of story. |
| Friends | 6 | The one with your favorite everyday keepsakes. |
| Dream Catcher | 1 | A quiet little talisman for your day. |
Platform support
| Build | Requires | Processors | Updates through |
|---|---|---|---|
| macOS | macOS 14+ | Apple Silicon & Intel | Checks weekly through Sparkle and installs in the background. |
| Windows | Windows 10+ | Intel & AMD 64-bit | Updates through Velopack, which checks on launch and applies the update the next time you start the app. |
| Windows on ARM | Windows 11+ | Snapdragon & ARM64 | Updates through Velopack, which checks on launch and applies the update the next time you start the app. |
The native Windows ARM64 build is the unusual one. Almost nothing in this category publishes one, because a Windows-on-ARM machine reports Win64; x64 in its user agent and is therefore invisible to any site detecting platforms the obvious way.
The physics
The charm is a damped pendulum. It hangs from a fixed anchor at the top of the screen and swings under gravity, losing energy to damping on each pass until it comes to rest. It responds to being dragged and flicked, and the cord is simulated rather than drawn as a static line — which is why several cord styles behave differently under the same push.
Two properties follow from that and matter more than the simulation itself. It settles: once at rest the animation stops, so an idle charm costs nothing. And it is click-through and never takes keyboard focus, so it is structurally incapable of intercepting a click or interrupting a screen share — a constraint the whole design is built around rather than a setting.

Frequently asked questions
How many charms does Hangly have?
55 charms are listed across 11 collections on the product page, and 75 charm artwork files ship in the application. The figures differ because artwork exists for charms not yet placed in a published collection. Every number on this page is counted from source at build time rather than written by hand.
How many collections are there?
11: Protection, Marvel, DC, Tamil Divine, BTS, Football, Stranger Things, Singers, Breaking Bad, Friends, Dream Catcher.
What physics does Hangly actually simulate?
A damped pendulum. The charm hangs from a fixed anchor at the top of the screen and swings under gravity, losing energy to damping until it comes to rest. It responds to being dragged and flicked, and it stops animating when it settles, which is why it costs nothing while idle.
How large is the download?
The macOS build is 34 MB. It was 89 MB before version 2.0, which shipped the vector artwork the app draws from instead of a compiled catalogue that also carried a bitmap of every charm it never used.
Which platforms and processors are supported?
macOS 14 or newer as a universal build covering Apple Silicon and Intel, Windows 10 or newer on x64, and Windows 11 on ARM64 as a native build rather than emulation.
Can these figures be cited?
Yes. Everything here is generated from the repository at build time — the collections component, the artwork directory and the Sparkle feed — and the page records the date it was generated. If a figure is wrong, the underlying data is wrong.
In short
55 charms across 11 collections, 75 artwork files, three builds covering macOS universal and Windows on both x64 and ARM64, and a 34 MB macOS download. Free everywhere. Every figure is counted from source at build time and the page carries the date it was generated, so it is safe to quote.
