A generative art live wallpaper that promotes digital well-being.

This live wallpaper generates a circle at each touch point, while a square moves toward it from the previous touch location, leaving a visual trail. Every 3600 squares, the screen refreshes and displays the total count of squares drawn.

I've drawn a parallel between 3600 squares and 3600 seconds — not in terms of literal finger movement speed (since a swipe takes less than a second) — but as a visual metaphor for how we perceive time and screen interaction heatmaps. The format displayed is:

1d:13h:3600

squares

Feel free to experiment with different colors and patterns, but remember the core purpose: to encourage less screen time and more real-world connection.
