Display Tools
Solid white/black/gray/color fullscreen screens to clean your monitor or spot dead pixels, hot pixels, burn-in and backlight bleeding.
Prank Screens
Fake fullscreen update screens — Windows 95 and Windows 98 setups that never finish — to prank a colleague who forgot to lock their computer.
Jumbo Keyboard
A giant on-screen keyboard that fills the whole display, in QWERTY or QWERTZ, with keys big enough to hit without aiming and every letter read out loud.
About this project
display.tools is three unrelated things that share one idea: an ordinary web page that takes over the entire screen and becomes the thing you needed for a minute. Six solid colours for cleaning a monitor and hunting dead pixels, hot pixels, burn-in and backlight bleeding. Three fake installers that never finish, two disk defragmenters optimizing a drive that is not there and a ransom note that never encrypted anything, for the colleague who walked away without locking up. And a keyboard with keys the size of a palm, in QWERTY or QWERTZ, that reads every letter out loud as it is pressed.
All of it is free and there is nothing to install: no account to make, no app to download, and none of these pages read or write a single file on the machine they run on — close the tab and it is gone. Every screen is built to fill whatever it is opened on, so a 4K monitor, an old office laptop, a tablet and a phone all behave the same way.
The keyboard is the unexpected one. It started as a toy for a toddler learning letters and turned out to help people relearning to read and write: after a stroke, where aphasia can make speaking or writing difficult and pointing at a letter is easier than forming a whole sentence, or with dementia, another cognitive condition, low vision or limited fine motor control. It is not a medical device or a certified communication aid, just a very big and very plain keyboard. More about the jumbo keyboard and who it is for →
