Lacefall
Lacefall
Lace for your Mac.
A Turkish lace doily that hangs from the top of your screen and behaves like real cloth.
Tip the lid. The lace follows.
Lacefall reads the hinge of your MacBook. The cloth swings forward as the lid closes, then settles.
Dust settles while you're away.
Leave your Mac alone and the lace slowly greys. A quick dip of the lid shakes it clean.
It even tells the time.
Stitched into the lace, written in the dust, or counted in beads along the edge.
In Turkish homes, the television wore lace.
A white crocheted cloth over the TV, the radio, the stereo. Handmade, starched, and straightened every time someone walked past. Lacefall puts it back on the screen you look at most.
Get the highlights.
Hang your grandmother's lace.
Photograph a real doily. Lacefall finds its corners, opens the holes and hangs it on your screen. The photo never leaves your Mac.
Choose what's behind it.
Pure black, the grey glass of a switched-off tube TV, or your own wallpaper, dimmed.
Cloths for their own days.
Tulips in April. Snowflakes all winter. Crescent and star on national days. They can change by themselves.
Settings you can see.
Lacefall lives in the menu bar. Pick a cloth by looking at it, set when it appears, how fast the dust builds and how windy the room is.
Easy on OLED.
The cloth drifts by a few pixels over several minutes, so no pixel stays lit in one place. The screen can go fully dark after 30, 60 or 120 minutes.
Five seconds to share.
One click records your lace shaking off its dust and saves it as a video.
Seven cloths to start with.
Each keeps its Turkish name. Four for every day, three for their seasons.
