Terse — put everything on your wallpaper

A live 3D particle wallpaper for macOS and Windows. The song you're playing and its lyrics, notifications from
every app, the window you're in, what your coding agents are doing — even a whole particle town — condense out of your
own desktop picture as particles, hold for a beat, and dissolve back.

And for people who run AI coding agents, one MIT CLI, terse, puts those agents in shared rooms and cuts the tokens
they burn. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, Windsurf, Cline and OpenClaw.

What goes on your wallpaper

① Everything that happens  ·  ② Your music, sung in particles  ·  ③ Your agents, in a town  ·  ④ The agent console  ·  ⑤ Fewer tokens

① Everything on your wallpaper

Terse lifts your own desktop picture out of the desktop and rebuilds it as a 3D field of particles that keeps its
colours. Then it writes what is happening on your computer into that field: each line is sampled into particles,
assembled into readable text, held for a beat and scattered back. Turn the camera and the flat picture turns out to have
real depth — it is not a parallax trick.

New sources are picked up on their own, each with its own switch. Nothing fakes activity: every event sends a ripple
from where its text landed, and when your machine goes quiet the field settles.

2D → 3D. The camera starts dead-on, then orbits. Nothing about the field changed — you were looking straight down it.

Drag to orbit, scroll to dolly, double-click to face it again; the camera is saved and restored at the next…
