An LED dot-matrix sign lights up column by column: SHIV PATEL in rose, DESKDOT in gold. Underneath: building DeskDot, a live companion for 32×32 LED panels.

DeskDot release  idotmatrix.com

Hey, I'm Shiv 👋

I build things that glow. Right now that's DeskDot, which turns a 32×32 iDotMatrix LED panel into a live desktop companion: clocks that know your calendar, weather for where you are, a flight radar, games your friends join from their phones, and a mascot that mirrors what your AI agent is doing.

I like the whole stack in one hand: the Bluetooth bytes, the async engine that paces them, the studio you drive it from, and the last pixel of polish on the panel. 1,024 pixels, no subscriptions.

🟧  Featured: DeskDot

DeskDot on a 32×32 panel: Synthwave, a live clock, London weather, a cat loop, Light Cycles, Pet World, a 3D wireframe and falling sand

The all-in-one app for your iDotMatrix. One async Python engine owns the panel's Bluetooth link, a React studio drives it from any browser or phone, and an MCP server lets agents like Claude see the panel and draw on it.

  • 🖼️ 116 apps on 70+ free live data sources: weather, flights, quakes, markets, space, sports
  • 🎮 25 games, 21 multiplayer: friends scan a QR code and their phone becomes the controller
  • 🎰 Casino night with provably-fair rounds and a luxury table on the TV
  • 🪰 A fruit-fly brain modelled on the FlyWire connectome that sees the pixels and plays
  • 🤖 21 MCP tools for AI agents · 📦 Windows, macOS and Android installers with in-app updates

🖥️  On every screen: Watch · Phone · Laptop · TV

Everything below is a real capture: recorded on my watch and my phone, or the real app running on a laptop and a TV.

⌚ Watch (Wear OS)

A workout on my watch: pick Run, a 3-2-1 countdown, then heart rate, distance and calories pages

Orbit, a launcher I built for my Wear OS watch, with a Workout app and my own watch faces, themed with the same 21 casino-table looks as DeskDot. Recorded on the watch itself.

Orbit launcher home: search, pinned apps and all apps A to Z Quick controls: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, do not disturb, theatre mode, battery saver and brightness Workout: pick Run or Walk to start The DeskDot watch face: LED-style digits The Forge watch face: an analogue dial The Pulse watch face: big digits with a seconds arc

▶️ Watch the 45-second workout video (recorded on the watch)
