About This Software

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 account. 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.

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.
