Digital Well-being Live Wallpaper: Generative Art

Immerse yourself in a unique live wallpaper experience that not only enhances your device's aesthetic but also promotes digital well-being. This innovative wallpaper creates generative art by drawing circles and squares on your screen, tracking your interaction in a visually engaging way.

How It Works

• Touch Interaction: Each time you touch the screen, a circle appears at the point of contact. Simultaneously, a square moves from the location of your last touch towards the new circle, leaving a trail behind it.

• Square Count and Screen Refresh: After every 3600 squares are drawn, the screen refreshes to start anew, but it keeps a running total of the squares created. This count is displayed in a time-like format, such as:

  1d:13h:3600
  squares

  This format cleverly compares the number of squares to hours and days, providing a visual cue of your screen interaction over time, akin to a heat map of your screen usage.

• Color Play: The wallpaper features a dynamic color scheme that evolves with each new square and circle. The colors are chosen to be soothing and calming, encouraging less screen time and more face time. Experiment with the palette to find a combination that resonates with you, fostering a more mindful interaction with your device.

Purpose and Impact

This live wallpaper is designed to promote digital well-being by making you more aware of your screen time. The visual representation of your interactions serves as a gentle reminder to balance your digital life with real-world connections. By engaging with the art you create, you're encouraged to take breaks and spend more time in the present moment.
