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

SECRETS
Hidden easter eggs are tucked all over the desktop. There may even be a pet in there somewhere.
