About this game
A wallpaper that breathes
Behind your icons, a soft field of light rises and falls like breath. Move the cursor and it answers; hold still and it settles on its own. Four scenes, each a different kind of quiet:
Breathe · Presence — a glow that swells and fades with the breath.
Ripple · Stillness — move sharply and the water churns; slow down and it calms itself.
Bloom · Being — light blooms wherever you come to rest.
Aware · The Watcher — thoughts drift up and dissolve as you watch.
Pick a breathing rhythm — Natural, 4-7-8, Box, or Sigh — and let the light keep the pace.
Start where you are
Stillayer doesn't ask you to change how you use your PC. On day one it's just the wallpaper: your icons stay exactly where they've always been, and the light breathes behind them. Everything beyond that is yours to turn on, one step at a time.
Light Pools, for a work PC
When you're ready, open the Light Pools. Your icons gather into a few glowing pools by kind — apps, media, documents, folders — and the six apps you use most sit right in the Apps pool, arranged like a clock: the one you open most at twelve, the rest clockwise from there. One click launches it. Hover a pool and it blooms open to everything else; right-click any item to reveal the real file.
Nothing gets slower. The things you reach for all day are one click closer than they were on a cluttered grid. The order learns from how you use it, on your machine only — nothing is sent anywhere.
Light Pools, for a home PC
On the machine you come to at the end of the day, turn the icons off. The pools go quiet — a few soft circles of light with a name and a count, nothing else. Everything is still one hover away, but nothing is asking for you. This is the desktop with the least in it that still does everything: the breathing light, and the pools resting on top of it.
Stillayer never moves, renames, or deletes a single file. It only draws a calmer view over what's already there.
Sound that settles
An optional ambient bed — an oceanic drift, softly tuned to 432 Hz — with gentle tones that answer your touch. Turn it on and the room changes. Turn it off and the quiet is just as intended.
Made to disappear
Stillayer is feather-light. Windows are created only when you need them and released when you don't, so while you're working it stays nearly invisible — no churn, no fans spinning up over a wallpaper.
