Modernizing Windows 11 the right way. Rebound is a comprehensive enhancement project designed to modernize Windows 11 by replacing legacy Win32 applications with consistent, native WinUI 3 alternatives. It delivers a unified experience without modifying system files, ensuring proper stability, compatibility, and security.
Warning
The project is still in its early stages of development and the ALPHA versions are considered unstable. A Developer Preview version will be released soon with major improvements.
🤔 General Information
Rebound is a modern enhancement layer for Windows 11, combining a suite of WinUI 3 applications into a unified modding experience. Instead of modifying system files or using intrusive patches, Rebound offers standalone, first-party apps that integrate cleanly with the operating system.
All official Rebound apps are included in this repository and can be installed individually using Rebound Hub, a dedicated app that manages the entire ecosystem. Each app is built to function independently, but together they form a consistent and future-friendly alternative to legacy Windows components.
Note
Rebound uses its own lightweight mod runtime, built on low-level hooks, Image File Execution Options (IFEO), and icon overrides to replace legacy Win32 apps in a non-invasive way. It does not patch or modify system files, ensuring maximum compatibility and safety.
