Tingjian

A courtyard that follows your clock.

The wind moves hair, leaves, clouds and lamplight inside hand-drawn masks; the water ripples on its own. Five scenes from morning to late night. Triple-click the desk clock for the mood boards.

Make it your wallpaper.

The same page runs as a desktop wallpaper on macOS and Windows. About 10 MB of images over the first few minutes, nothing after that. No tracking, no sound.

macOS, with Plash

  1. Install Plash from the Mac App Store. It shows a web page as your wallpaper.
  2. In the Plash menu, choose Add Website and paste https://danielchen.app/tingjian/app/.
  3. Done. The scenes follow your clock; the desk clock stays draggable under your icons.

Windows, with Lively Wallpaper

  1. Install Lively Wallpaper from the Microsoft Store.
  2. Click +, paste https://danielchen.app/tingjian/app/ as a web page, and add it.
  3. Set it on your monitor. Lively pauses it while a full-screen app runs.
