make yourself at home

Nook

A cosy little room for your Windows desktop. A live wallpaper behind your icons, widgets that sit right on it, and sticky notes you can scribble on.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Nook stays light and quiet in the background. Switch any part on or off, and change the colours, fonts and size of everything.

Live wallpaper

Drifting leaves, rain, snow and fireflies play behind your desktop icons. Or use your own GIFs, videos, YouTube and TikTok links.

Widgets on your wallpaper

A clock, calendar, checklist, focus timer, countdown, little notes and a record player that spins with whatever you are playing.

Sticky notes

As many as you like, in any colour. Click one on your desktop and start writing.

Arrange mode

Widgets stay put so you never knock them by accident. When you want to move things, drag, turn, resize and group them.

The Workshop

Build your own widgets and wallpapers right inside Nook, and share them with friends. Every widget runs in a safe sandbox.

Wobbly windows

Flick a window across the screen and watch it wobble into place. Just for fun.

A scene for every season

Hand-made scenes in Nook's warm colours, with something gently moving in each one.

Your school calendar, on your desktop

Connect Canvas, Google Classroom, Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar. Due dates show up on the calendar and in the Up next widget, so you can see what is coming without opening a single tab.

Make it yours

Every widget has its own card colour, corners, font, size and rotation. Save the whole look as a setup and switch between them, like a cosy study corner for school days and a quiet one for weekends.

A short welcome tour sets everything up the first time you open Nook.

Questions

When can I get Nook?

Nook is coming to Steam in 2026. It is being tested by a small group right now.

How much will it cost?

Nook will be a paid app on Steam. The price will be shared closer to launch.

Which computers does it work on?

Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Will it slow my computer down?

Nook is built to stay light. It can also pause the wallpaper while a game or full-screen app is open.

Are Workshop widgets safe?

Yes. Workshop widgets run in a locked sandbox, so they cannot reach your files or the rest of your computer.
