A living wallpaper for Mac

Your Mac desktop,
as a living Japanese print.

Every file on your desktop grows into the scene: a lily pad, a lantern, a coral. Forget a file and moss creeps over it. Tidy up, and the pond clears.

Launch discount for the waitlist. One email when it's ready, nothing else.

How it works

A landscape that knows your desktop

一

Each file becomes part of the scene

Osojidesk reads where your icons sit and grows something under each one. Bigger files, bigger pads.

二

It reacts when you move things

Drag a file and its lily pad sinks, then resurfaces where you drop it. The frog follows; ripples spread.

三

It shows you what to clean up

Old files age, screenshots pile up, unopened downloads glow. A gentle nudge, never a nag.

Quietly useful

Your daily ōsōji

Each wallpaper shows the state of your desktop in its own way, and a Desktop Health panel lists it all.

Forgotten filesUntouched for 30+ days? They age, fade or grow moss.
Screenshot pilesUsually the first thing you can delete.
Unopened downloadsYou downloaded it. You never opened it.
Duplicates"copy", "(1)" and identical files, linked together.
Heavy filesSize shows up as bigger pads, taller buildings.
Disk almost fullThe whole scene lets you know.
Focus and breaksA 25-minute focus timer and gentle break reminders.
Real skyDay, night, moon phase, seasons and your city's weather.

Private by design

It looks. It never touches.

Never moves, renames or deletes a fileIt only reads where your icons are.
Runs entirely on your MacNo account, no tracking, no analytics.
Weather is optionalOnly the city you choose is sent, never your location.
Light on battery30 frames per second by default; full Retina only if you want it.

Why "Osojidesk"?

Ōsōji is the big clean before the New Year

In Japan, homes and offices are cleaned top to bottom at the end of December, to start the year fresh. Osojidesk brings that ritual to your desktop, in the style of the old woodblock prints.
