Flagship product
Circadia
A time-aware theme and wallpaper app that changes with the rhythm of your day.
- Time-aware themes that follow the rhythm of the day.
- Weather, daylight, and the next change in one calm view.
- A desktop experience designed to feel atmospheric, not distracting.
Interactive prototype
Move through the day.
The product’s atmosphere changes with time. This small React island demonstrates the idea while the rest of the page remains static Astro HTML.
Circadia treats the desktop as part of your environment, not a static background. It shifts wallpaper, light, and visual tone as the day moves from morning to night.
Why it exists
Most desktop customisation tools ask you to choose one look and leave it there. Circadia explores a gentler idea: your workspace can acknowledge time without demanding attention.
Product principles
- Calm by default.
- Useful without constant interaction.
- Time-aware, not notification-heavy.
- Designed to feel native on the desktop.
Current direction
The current desktop build combines a full-scene wallpaper with compact time, weather, theme, and preview controls. The interface stays out of the way until the user needs it.
Circadia is the clearest expression of how Quack and Honk works: start with an ordinary daily friction, then refine the experience until the software mostly disappears.
