A desktop widget concept on a 1920 × 1080 stage that scales to the window and loops every 11 seconds. A dark wallpaper of jagged peaks over a still lake under red sunset clouds carries a menu bar, a frosted-glass dock and, at the top centre, a small glass pill: Today, 3 new. A scripted cursor clicks it and the pill morphs into a 1160 × 420 glass panel while the wallpaper blurs, scales and darkens and the dock sinks. Four widgets rise in with a stagger: Headlines (three stories with unread dots), Next up (Design review, 11:30 – 12:15, Room 4, in 24 min, with a small day line), Lisbon (18°, Clear by noon, a sun on its arc) and Focus (25:00 and a ring). The cursor opens the first headline, which expands into a summary with Read full story and Save, then folds back read (2 new); it starts the focus timer (pause icon, Deep work, the ring starts filling), then clicks away: the panel shrinks back into the pill and a new story pulses its dot. Every moment comes from one pure render(t) function that writes inline styles and SVG attributes (window.__render(t), window.__MANUAL, ?rec), so any frame can be drawn on its own. Geist and JetBrains Mono, a reduced-motion still.
