Kepler Native

A black hole that actually lives on your Windows desktop.

Kepler Native is a native Windows desktop companion built around a real-time black hole.

It uses live desktop capture and gravitational lensing to distort the actual desktop behind the black hole, rather than displaying a static background effect.

This Restricted Alpha currently focuses on the black hole form and its core desktop interactions.

Current features

- Real-time desktop gravitational lensing

- Native Windows rendering and transparent desktop integration

- Drag and reposition the black hole

- File staging through the Dark Core

- Archive extraction for supported archive formats

- System tray controls

- Portable distribution — extract and run KeplerNative.exe
