What it is
Screenspiration keeps a quiet stream of inspiration drifting across your desktop. It lives in the menu bar — no Dock clutter, no window to manage — and gently rotates a single translucent card so a good idea is always one glance away. You choose what inspires you and how often it changes.
The collections
- Voices — quotes from thinkers, makers, and doers across history.
- Proverbs — folk wisdom from world languages, many read aloud in their native tongue.
- Words — a single word or virtue to sit with.
- Virtues — timeless qualities drawn from many traditions.
- Moves — thinking tools and problem-solving prompts to shift your perspective.
- Science & Nature — the elegance of mathematical formulae and the structures of important molecules.
Why it's different
- Ambient, not another app to open — it lives in the menu bar and drifts across the desktop.
- Depth beyond quotes — virtues, problem-solving moves, molecules & equations; curated, not scraped.
- Genuinely private — no account, no internet, no tracking. Speech is on-device; nothing leaves your Mac.
- Calm & honest by design — no dark patterns, honest pricing, premium shown by graying out, not locks.
Pricing, precisely
- Free 14-day trial — everything unlocked, no card required.
- Free forever — Voices, Words, and Proverbs (English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Latin) + the ambient overlay + the default palette.
- Sage — $20/year, or $50 once for life — unlocks Virtues, Moves, Science & Nature, the remaining proverb languages, all six palettes, Focus, custom lists, editing, and every future collection.
