OddArm Makes Software for the Useful and Slightly Strange

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

OddArm is an independent studio presenting TAKO, a macOS creator tool, and Desktop Aquarium, a playful desktop companion.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

TAKO is designed around an existing-folder workflow: the page says users can explore images, videos and documents without moving them into another library, then preview, crop or trim material and save a separate version. Desktop Aquarium takes the opposite approach, adding a transparent layer of fish, bubbles and underwater greenery behind the user’s work. Both macOS products remain in development, with downloads and purchase details deferred until they are ready.
