Preview

Vorticity Smoke

Continuous divergence-free curl-noise velocity field with Kelvin-Helmholtz roll-up vortices and incandescent core blowout. 100% shader-driven, sub-1.5% CPU load, 4K/60fps engineered.

£4.99
Preview

Voronoi Drift

Cells of soft colour drift and jostle across the screen, their glowing edges stretching and snapping as a living Voronoi mosaic reshapes itself. Organic, cellular, quietly alive — like light through frosted glass.

£1.99
Preview

Isometric Cube Field

A hypnotic 3D geometric grid. Isometric cubes undulate in smooth, math-driven waves. It satisfies the craving for structured motion. Gain total control over the cube color, wave speed, height, and camera zoom. A sci-fi aesthetic guaranteed.

£1.99

Wind Turbine

Colossal Nordic wind energy simulated in pure real-time 2D Canvas vector math. Features 4 atmospheric presets, aviation warning beacon with rotor occlusion, fluid streamlines, and <0.5% CPU idle.

£1.99
Preview

Quantum Probability Cloud

Hydrogen orbital wavefunctions (4f, 5d) with continuous harmonic orbital morphing, nodal voids, and Hermite Gaussian points. 100% shader-driven, sub-1.5% CPU load, 4K/60fps engineered.

£4.99
Preview

Faraday Resonator

Bioluminescent quantum superfluid with multi-spectral thin-film rainbow iridescence shimmering across 12-fold quasi-crystal standing waves. 100% shader-driven, sub-1.5% CPU load, 4K/60fps engineered.

£4.99
Preview

Boids Murmuration

Autonomous flocking simulation implementing Craig Reynolds' Boids algorithm with O(1) spatial partitioning. Over three thousand individual agents calculate separation, alignment, and cohesion vectors every frame, creating fluid murmuration patterns against a procedural dusk gradient. Features depth-based atmospheric haze and dynamic velocity-matched wing kinematics. Tuned for near-zero idle resource utilization, the simulation caps GPU draw cycles and halts execution whenever work windows take focus or external power is disconnected.

£4.99
Preview

DNA Helix

Real-time molecular visualization rendering a continuous double-helix structure with raymarched volumetric shading and depth-of-field perspective. Each nucleotide base pair rotates along the helical axis with smooth 60 FPS interpolation. Optimized for Retina and high-DPI ultrawide displays with zero artifacting. Built specifically for the Novaframe Engine, the shader executes directly on your GPU and automatically drops to 0% CPU consumption whenever full-screen applications or desktop windows cover the workspace.

£4.99
Preview

Gravitational Lensing Field

A physically inspired general relativity simulation depicting gravitational lensing around a compact mass. Distorts a dense background starfield according to Schwarzschild light-deflection equations, producing authentic Einstein rings and relativistic optical shears. Renders crisp star points at native 4K and 5K resolutions without shimmering. Runs efficiently via Novaframe Engine hardware acceleration, maintaining low thermal overhead and automatically freezing frame calculations whenever your display sleeps or active windows obscure the desktop.

£2.99
Preview

Lorenz Attractor

Interactive chaotic attractor visualization calculating differential equations in real time using 4th-Order Runge-Kutta numerical integration. Traces the iconic butterfly trajectory through three-dimensional phase space with decaying phosphor luminance trails. Built with native WebGL shaders to ensure minimal battery draw on macOS and Windows laptops. The engine pauses rendering instantly during battery saver mode or when windows overlap your desktop, delivering smooth mathematical motion without background power drain.

£4.99
Preview

Pendulum Wave

Twelve luminous pendulums drift in and out of phase, tracing a slow travelling wave across a deep-black field. Soft neon bobs, faint metallic strings and gentle wakes — hypnotic, never busy.
