## About

These are current captures from IKANDY itself: the full-screen visualizer, the visual library, and the Stage performance console. No concept art and no simulated interface.

Full-screen visualizer The interface gets out of the way while the HDR scene fills the display.

Visual library Browse MilkDrop, GLSL, WebGPU, Spout, images, favorites, and your own scenes in one place.

Stage console Prepare the next look, crossfade, hit cues, route outputs, and keep performing from one surface.

IKANDY is built like the gear it sits next to: an audio engine that can focus on the source you choose (one app, the whole mix, or a line-in), a render pipeline with an HDR post chain, and outputs that connect to the rest of your rig. Core visual playback runs locally on your GPU. Optional online features, including provider-based AI and metadata services, require an internet connection.

And when you do want wallpaper, it's a music-reactive wallpaper mode built into the same visual pipeline. Supported presets can run as your Windows desktop, moving with your music behind your icons while you work. One library of presets, wherever you point it: your desktop, a second monitor, an OBS overlay, a projector wall, or a stage.
