Black Screen of Death
The newer, even more confusing relative of the BSOD. Almost no text, just a blinking cursor — perfect for the briefest, most alarming silence.
Broken screen
A web of convincing cracks rendered right on the glass. Great for short videos, photo composites, or a really mean April Fool's.
White noise screen
A flickering noise field with optional audio. Channel old-TV static, kill silence at a film shoot, or do the most retro practical joke around.
Windows 10 fake update
A pixel-perfect Windows 10 update screen, complete with the slow percentage crawl. Set it up before someone's coffee break for maximum effect.
Windows 11 fake update
The cleaner, rounded-corner Windows 11 update screen. Same long percentage crawl, more modern panic.
Black screen
Pure black, all pixels off. Rest your eyes, hide a second monitor, save a bit of OLED power, or check for backlight bleed.
Custom colour
Type any HEX, sample with the eyedropper, or tweak with the colour wheel. Export at 4K, 2K or 1080p — straight to PNG.
Flip clock
A nostalgic flip-card clock for your second monitor. Quiet, full-screen, and oddly satisfying — perfect for deep work or sleep timers.
