questions?

the quick answers

  • what is iCharm?

    iCharm is a macOS app that lets you place animated 3D charms on your desktop. drag them anywhere, let them float, watch them react to whatever music you’re playing.

    it’s purely decorative. no widgets. no productivity features. just little objects that live on your screen.

  • how do I place a charm on my desktop?

    open iCharm from the menu bar icon and click any charm in the Charm Shelf. it’ll appear on your desktop where you can drag it anywhere you want.

    right-click a charm for resize, always-on-top, swap, or remove.

  • what's the difference between free and Pro?

    Free gets you 11 starter charms, one charm on the desktop at a time, and all the basic drag/resize/always-on-top settings.

    Pro ($14.99 one-time) unlocks the full collection — all 19 charms including Legendaries, plus multiple charms on the desktop at once, ambient awareness (charms respond to your work rhythm), and fine-grained animation controls.

    one-time payment. no subscription. no in-app ads.

  • what does iCharm need to run?

    macOS 14 Sonoma or later. works on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs. a few MB of disk, minimal battery impact when idle.

    charms render at your display’s native refresh rate via SceneKit, and idle charms use well under 1% CPU on modern machines.

  • how does music reactivity work?

    iCharm taps macOS’s audio output system to detect what’s playing. when music is active, charms pulse, glow, and shake subtly in time with the beat.

    no microphone permission needed — we only read the system audio output. nothing is recorded, nothing leaves your machine.
