About Retro Desktop: Windohs XD
Remember the family computer? The glossy blue taskbar, the big green button, the rolling green hill wallpaper, the games you played instead of homework? Windohs XD brings that whole early-2000s desktop to your iPhone and iPad as a fun, pocket-sized nostalgia trip.
Visually similar, but legally distinct!
Windohs XD isn't an operating system. It's a playful retro desktop packed with games, toys and utilities that actually work, plus one extremely helpful paperclip.
GAMES
• Kaboom Acres: clear the lawn without disturbing the garden gnomes
• Solitary Confinement: classic Klondike with Vegas scoring and a bouncing win cascade
• Flipper Frenzy: Space Janitor pinball with missions, ranks and a nudge button
• Firewall Breaker: smash firewall packets across 10 layers
• Snek.exe: the green-screen snake game you remember
• Home Row Heroes: zap falling 2002 words before they crash your CRT, plus typing lessons
• Maze of Regret: the 3D maze screensaver, except now you can take control
• DeskDefender AV 2003: pixel viruses crawl over your desktop icons. Zap them!
• Puzzle Pak 98: eleven brain-bending logic puzzles
• 2048-ish, now in beige
PROGRAMS THAT ACTUALLY WORK
• Notewad: a real text editor with bold, italics, fonts and find/replace
• Doodlebox: pixel paint with fill, shapes, zoom and export to Photos
• Calcumalator: standard and scientific modes
• WinLamp: plays your own music from the Files app or your music library, with a spectrum visualizer and skins
• A pretend web browser full of made-up 2002 websites, guestbooks and hit counters (no real internet, no trackers)
• Defragulator, Setup Wizardry, SquishIt! and the dramatic Winders Downdate
• The Scary Black Box command prompt, Panic Manager and the Control-ish Panel
THE LOOK
• Five themes, including Blue, Olive Green, Silver and a classic beige look
• Rolling-hill wallpapers for every season (and a few jokes)
• Screensavers: Floppy Rain, Lava Lamp, Night Commute and more
• Boot screens, startup sounds and a Blue Screen of Mild Inconvenience
• Big touch-friendly icons on iPhone and a full windowed desktop on iPad
MEET SKIPPY
Skippy is your eager paperclip assistant. He offers tips, answers questions, opens programs for you and has opinions about your screensaver. Set him to Helpful, Occasionally Helpful, Authentic 2002 Experience, or Unbearable.
SECRETS
Hidden easter eggs are tucked all over the desktop. There may even be a pet in there somewhere.
