A layer, not a barrier.
A transparent window floats over each display, even the menu bar. Every click, drag, and keystroke passes straight through to your work.

Texture.
Not just a tint.
Night Shift warms your colors. Deckle changes the way the surface feels: a faint, matte grain that breaks up the perfectly uniform glow. Same screen. A little more paper.

Simple on purpose
A small footprint.
A considered experience.
One tile, one window per screen, zero fuss.
Built in Swift, without dependencies.
A little grain goes a long way.
Seamlessly tileable value noise becomes one 256-pixel texture. Core Graphics repeats it across your screen. No giant images. No video loops.
Set it. Forget about it.
The texture renders once and is cached. Intensity only changes opacity, so Deckle stays at roughly 0% CPU while you get on with your day.
Little things. Thought through.
THE EVERYDAY DETAILS- One shortcut, anywhere
- ⌥⌘P lifts or lays the grain from inside any app. No interruptions, no hunting through menus.
- Take a little break
- Snooze for 15, 30, or 60 minutes of clean glass. Your texture resumes on its own.
- Every display, considered
- Cover every monitor, with an independent on/off switch for each one.
- Find your sweet spot
- Adjust intensity from 5–45%, from a whisper of grain to the feel of heavy stock.
- Ready when you are
- Launch quietly when your Mac does, if you ask it to. Updates arrive in the app.
- Out of your way
- No Dock icon. No extra windows to manage. Just a small, familiar place in your menu bar.
