Description

Deskwake waits quietly in your tray. When you step away from your PC, it fades a living scene across your whole desktop, on every monitor. An aurora ripples over your work. A black hole bends the starlight. Rain gathers on the glass. The moment you touch the mouse or keyboard, it's gone and your desktop is exactly as you left it.

No wallpaper replaced. No internet. Just your desk, coming alive while you're not looking.

Every scene is drawn live, frame by frame, with soft light, depth and motion. Nothing is a looping video. Each one is composed around the edges of your screen, so your windows stay readable underneath, and each recolours itself to the palette you choose.

Water & Rain: Rain on Glass, Reef, Electric Jellyfish, Bioluminescent Shore, Manta Drift, Monsoon Puddles

Sky & Weather: Aurora Curtain, Lighthouse, Thunderhead, Mountain Milky Way, Fireworks, Frost Creep

Cosmos: Black Hole, Ringed Planet, Total Eclipse, Galaxy Spiral, Supernova, Star Trails

Sci-Fi: Warp Gate, Holo Globe, Orbital Station, UFO Scene, Tesla Coil, Plasma Tendrils

Nature: Cherry Blossom Tree, Koi Pond, Bamboo Grove, Butterfly Migration, Murmuration, Mushroom Grotto

Cozy & Sweet: Fairy Lights, Candlelight, Snow Globe, Fireplace, Lantern River, Ferris Wheel

Retro: Retro Horizon, Neon Skyline, Digital Rain, Disco Ball, Arcade Attract Mode, Pixel Aquarium

Abstract: Reaction Bloom, Maze Weave, Ferrofluid, Ink in Water, Kaleidoscope, Stained Glass

Stays out of your way

● Smart AFK Deskwake knows the difference between "away" and "busy". It stays hidden while you're in a call, watching a video, playing with a controller or running a full-screen game, and it pauses while your PC is locked.

● Instant return Any key or mouse movement and the scene is gone.

● Click-through and always on top on every monitor, with no window to manage.

● Light on your PC A new GPU renderer draws scenes using a fraction of a percent of your CPU. No graphics card? It switches to a CPU mode and tunes itself to fit.

● Game-friendly While it waits it uses almost nothing, never steals focus and never covers a full-screen game unless you ask it to.

● Multi-monitor aware Scenes built around one subject, like a ringed planet or a lighthouse, stay on your main screen, while your other monitors get a matching ambient layer.

Make it yours

● The Dial one round control for everything, with 9 themes to match your setup.

● 60 palettes or build your own with a screen eyedropper. Every scene recolours to match.

● Speed, Density and Motion for every scene, and Left / Centre / Right placement for hero scenes.

● Auto-Cycle through scenes on a timer, or [b]Randomize[/b] the whole look in one click.

● Preview any scene for 30 seconds without waiting.

● AFK Audio play your own track when the scene fades in, with fade-in, clip range and looping.

● Calm mode softens bright accents and fast motion.

● Quality tiers and a battery saver for laptops.

Photosensitivity notice: some scenes contain lightning, sparks, fireworks or moving light. Calm mode softens them, and Deskwake avoids strobe-like flashes, but please take care if you are sensitive to flashing light.
