Stranded in Paradise
A living, interactive wallpaper that strands your desktop on a tropical island. The water moves, the light follows your day, and the island answers every move you make.
Your desktop has been frozen since 1995.
Stranded lets it breathe again.
Real light. Real weather. Real motion.
It knows what time it is.
The sun rises when yours does. Midday turns the lagoon a blinding turquoise, golden hour sets the sky on fire, and after dark the stars come out over the surf. Your wallpaper is never the same picture twice.
And it knows what the weather is doing.
Connect your city and paradise mirrors it. When rain sweeps past your window, it sweeps across the lagoon. Clouds gather, the surf turns restless, and the sun breaks through the moment yours does.
Move your mouse. The island moves back.
Every layer sits at its own depth, so the smallest gesture sets the whole scene rippling. The palms lean toward your cursor and the water shifts beneath it. It is a wallpaper that knows you are there.
Close your eyes and you are there.
An optional soundscape layers in lapping waves, distant gulls and rustling palms. It swells while your desktop rests and fades to a whisper the moment you start to work, so paradise never gets in your way.
Sips but never gulps.
Stranded auto-scans your device and tunes itself from Low to High, holding a smooth 60 FPS while it idles at a few percent of your system. It never takes a serious slice of your CPU, GPU or battery: a whole living island, running on the headroom your desktop was not using anyway.
The setup you've been dreaming of.
Stranded runs as your real wallpaper, gently animated behind your icons, windows and whatever you are working on. Minimise everything and the whole island is yours again.
Get stranded.
Stranded in Paradise is live for macOS and Windows. Give your desktop an island and let it breathe.
