AuraBoard

Your idle screen, turned into a dashboard.

Your machine sits idle for hours a day showing nothing. AuraBoard replaces the blank Windows screensaver with something worth glancing at — the time, the weather, your next meeting, what’s playing — set against your own wallpapers, in a deliberate Swiss-inspired visual language rather than the usual widget-soup.

AuraBoard running full-screen on a desktop monitor in a darkened room, the display’s amber glow washing the wall behind it — a large clock, weather, moon phase and now-playing laid over an illustrated wallpaper.

Why it's different

Ambient, not cluttered

Three ideas the whole product is built around.

It looks designed.

Ultra-condensed display type, one signal colour on a mono ground, hairline rules, square corners. Every widget ships in three visual variants.

It’s yours to arrange.

Drag, resize and overlap widgets on a 12×12 grid. Layouts persist across restarts.

It stays out of the way.

Lives in the tray, wakes on idle, dismisses on input.

Before you download

Windows may warn you or remove the download — the installer isn’t code-signed yet, so SmartScreen filters it on reputation. Microsoft Defender scans it clean. Choose Keep in your browser, then More info → Run anyway, or use the portable ZIP, which is rarely blocked. Every asset’s SHA-256 is published below so you can verify rather than trust.
