I built a lightweight Windows app that makes your cursor scream when moved aggressively

I recently built a small desktop utility called ScreamCursor.

It runs in the background and tracks cursor movement velocity in real time. Normal movement does nothing, but aggressive shaking triggers different screaming 'entities' with unique sounds and reactions.

Features:

background tracking
invisible mode (audio only)
system tray support
lightweight runtime
multiple unlockable entities

Built using Go + Wails, with a Next.js landing page.

Originally started as a joke experiment, but I ended up polishing it into a fully working desktop app.

Would love feedback from other software/UI/tool builders here.

I built a desktop app where your cursor screams when you shake it too hard 😭

started as a dumb joke idea and somehow became a fully working windows app called ScreamCursor.

it runs in the background and tracks your cursor movement speed.

move normally = nothing happens shake aggressively = your cursor completely loses its mind and starts screaming 💀

i also added different entities like:

glitch cat
predator
toon banshee

built using go + wails, with a next.js landing page.

here’s the project: https://screamcursor.com

I wanted to experiment with a different way of interacting with personal data.

So I built a small OS-like interface inspired by Windows XP and Nokia devices where memories are stored as folders and files instead of traditional notes or apps.

The focus was more on interaction design and nostalgia rather than features.

Would love feedback from a UX/frontend perspective:
