Description
Bring your desktop to life. Flovio creates interactive fluid motion that responds to your mouse: gentle wisps, sweeping bursts of colour, and flows that curl at the screen’s edges. Choose from 11 built-in styles that blend beautifully behind translucent macOS glass. Native to Apple silicon and powered by Metal, effects run entirely on your Mac. Try every feature for one day, then pay once to unlock for life. Requires macOS 26 or later.

Could you build this?
Partial While the desktop container and preference UI are simple to create, building an interactive, power-efficient Navier-Stokes fluid dynamics simulation requires specialized graphics shader programming.
What it would actually take: The core simulation requires implementing a 2D Eulerian fluid dynamics solver (Navier-Stokes advection, diffusion, and Jacobi-based pressure projection) entirely in custom Apple Metal compute shaders. The pipeline must interactively track mouse velocity inputs and composite the simulation into a low-overhead desktop-level window (using CoreGraphics window levels) while carefully throttling GPU frame pacing to prevent battery drain on Apple Silicon.
