The Commodore Amiga computer was ahead of its time in many regards when it launched. One part of the system was the mouse controlled Amiga Workbench, a graphical user interface that provided Amiga users with an interface that is similar to modern operating system interfaces.

Download the latest version of the application from the linked Google Drive website and run the installer to add it to the system. Windows SmartScreen may display a warning prompt on execution, because it is new and not widely used. The program is only available for Windows at the time of writing.

MyWorkbench is not an Amiga emulator; you can't use the program to launch Amiga applications, for instance from ADF files. An Amiga emulator, WinUAE or others, are required to run Amiga games and apps on Windows machines.

MyWorkbench includes several tools that can be run; this includes media players among others.

Closing Words
MyWorkbench brings the Amiga Workbench experience to Windows devices. The app offers an interesting experience, but it lacks core functionality, such as the ability to run Amiga programs and games, using it. For now, users may want to resort to using Amiga emulators for that, provided that they have access to a Kickstarter ROM, which is required to use these emulators.

It feels like back in time, but as modern as possible. It's written from scratch in modern C++ and runs with highest performance and GPU acceleration. It's implementation is platform independent.
