CapsNumTray is a Windows utility published by itsnateai that provides system tray indicators for the Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock keys. The software addresses a common gap in the Windows desktop experience: many keyboards, particularly compact or laptop models, lack dedicated LED indicators for these lock keys, leaving users uncertain about their current state until they begin typing. CapsNumTray resolves this by placing an independent icon in the Windows system tray for each of the three lock keys, allowing users to see the status of Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock at a glance without needing to test the keys or look away from the screen. Each indicator can be interacted with directly, as a left-click on a tray icon toggles the corresponding lock key, turning the tray area into a simple control surface rather than a purely passive display. The utility also includes an on-screen display, giving visual feedback when the state of a lock key changes. CapsNumTray supports both light and dark themes, so its icons can remain readable and visually consistent regardless of the Windows theme in use, and it is DPI-aware, which ensures that the tray icons and on-screen elements render sharply on high-resolution displays and multi-monitor setups with varying scaling settings. As a lightweight desktop tool, it fits within the system utilities and desktop enhancement category of the catalog, and it is relevant to users who frequently switch between numeric entry and navigation on a keypad, to those working on keyboards without status lights, and to anyone who wants persistent visibility of modifier lock states. The catalog lists version 2.4.13 as the current release, with a total of fourteen versions recorded for the software, indicating an ongoing history of published updates and refinements since its initial release.
