Bring your desktop to life.
A calm, physics-driven companion hanging from the top edge of your Mac screen. Sways gently in the breeze, reacts to cursor momentum, and stays 100% out of the way of your clicks and scrolling.
Interactive demo — Click & flick to swing
Engineered with Precision
Quiet companion.
Zero friction.
DeskCharm was crafted to feel like a tangible physical object living quietly on your display without interrupting your workflow.
Damped Pendulum & Flexible Cord
Instead of a rigid stick, DeskCharm uses an 8-segment Verlet rope simulation with Catmull-Rom spline curves. The string sags naturally under gravity at rest, arches into realistic S-curves when dragged, and whips smoothly when flicked.
Clicks Pass Cleanly Through
The overlay window ignores mouse events across 99.9% of the screen. Trackpad scrolling, clicking, and dragging in Safari, VS Code, or Figma remain 100% responsive without any lag.
Nimbu-Mirchi & Charm Gallery
Features the traditional Indian Nimbu-Mirchi with 7 green chilies that jiggle and react to momentum individually, plus Lucky Clover, Fortune Cat, Wind Chime, and support for any custom emoji.
Effortless Controls & Notch-Aware
Hold ⌥ Option and drag to position the charm anywhere across the screen, smoothly gliding past the MacBook camera notch into the right menu bar.
Endless Personalization
Choose your aura.
From auspicious cultural charms to minimalist geometric shapes and custom emojis — switch charms anytime from your menu bar with one click.
