Digital Well-being Live Wallpaper: Generative Art

Experience the perfect blend of digital mindfulness and artistic expression with our unique live wallpaper designed to enhance your digital well-being. This innovative app transforms your device's screen into a canvas of generative art, encouraging you to spend less time on your device and more time engaging with the world around you.

How It Works:

Each time you touch your screen, a circle appears at the point of contact. Simultaneously, a square begins its journey from the location of your previous touch, leaving a vibrant trail behind it. After every 3600 squares are drawn, the screen refreshes, providing a fresh start while keeping a tally of the total number of squares created. This design cleverly uses 3600 squares as a visual metaphor for time, drawing a parallel to 3600 seconds in an hour, and helps you visualize your screen interaction patterns.

Visualizing Screen Time:

The format displayed on your screen will be:

1d:13h:3600

squares

This format not only tracks your squares but also encourages you to reflect on your screen usage in a unique way, promoting less screen time and more face-to-face interactions.

Playing with Colors:

While the primary goal is to reduce screen time, you can still enjoy a playful aspect with color variations. The app dynamically adjusts the colors of the circles, squares, and trails based on the time of day, subtly changing the ambiance of your device and adding an artistic flair to your screen. However, the focus remains on the core concept of digital well-being.

Technical Details:

This app is developed using the Android Processing Development Environment (APDE) and packaged with Processing 3.5.3, ensuring a smooth and responsive experience on your Android device.
