A Windows desktop app that suspends a draggable, interactive lucky charm above your other windows.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The application models its hanging object as seven point masses with Verlet integration, then updates the clickable region each frame so the overlay remains interactive only around the charm. Its picker contains thirteen charms, while the custom-image path removes backgrounds, crops the subject, and recolors the cord using edge colours and a 4096-bucket histogram. The page also describes tray-based controls, multi-monitor support, offline operation, and no telemetry.
