AUDIO-REACTIVE VISUALIZER FOR WINDOWS
See yourmusic
IKANDY listens to whatever your PC is playing and paints it across your screen, live. A deep library of MilkDrop presets and hand-built scenes, an AI that writes new ones, and outputs that run from your desktop wallpaper to a full VJ rig. This page is running the engine's little cousin right now. Grab a knob.
It really grabs you by the iBALLS.
Built to disappear into the show.
These are current captures from IKANDY itself: the full-screen visualizer, the visual library, and the Stage performance console. No concept art and no simulated interface.
Captured from the July 2026 desktop build.
An instrument, not a screensaver.
IKANDY is built like the gear it sits next to: an audio engine that can focus on the source you choose — one app, the whole mix, or a line-in — a render pipeline with an HDR post chain, and outputs that connect to the rest of your rig. Core visual playback runs locally on your GPU. Optional online features, including provider-based AI and metadata services, require an internet connection.
And when you do want wallpaper, it's a music-reactive wallpaper mode built into the same visual pipeline. Supported presets can run as your Windows desktop, moving with your music behind your icons while you work. One library of presets, wherever you point it: your desktop, a second monitor, an OBS overlay, a projector wall, or a stage.
One app. Three rooms.
Listeners
Open it on a second monitor, start a supported audio source such as Spotify, MusicBee, YouTube, foobar2000, or VLC, and walk away. IKANDY auto-cycles through hundreds of scenes, scrolls synced lyrics, and reacts to your music, not your Discord pings.
DJs & VJs
A node in the rig, not a walled garden. Send Spout output to compatible receivers such as Resolume or OBS, or bring a Spout feed in for live effects. Per-app audio capture can focus on a booth signal, and line-in, audio interfaces, and virtual cables can use the same engine. MIDI, OSC, and a console built to be performed.
Shader artists
Import compatible GLSL or WGSL fragments with audio uniforms and mouse input, then shape the result with the HDR post chain. Your work can run fullscreen with the credit you choose.

The useful answers.
Does it require Spotify?
No. IKANDY can react to system audio, a chosen app, line-in, an audio interface, or a virtual cable. Spotify is one optional metadata and playback source.
Will Discord trigger the visuals?
Only if you choose the whole system mix. Per-app capture can listen to one selected music app while ignoring Discord, notification sounds, and everything else.
Is the AI a subscription?
No. AI scene generation is optional and bring-your-own-key. You pay the supported provider directly at its published rates; IKANDY sells no AI credits.
What is the difference between Pro and Studio?
Pro adds creation, wallpaper, Workshop, multi-display output, and OBS output. Studio adds live capture, higher-performance Spout output, MIDI and OSC, and the performance console.
Can it run as wallpaper?
Yes. Supported visuals can run behind your Windows desktop icons using the same visual pipeline as the full-screen app.
Does it upload my music?
No. Core playback and audio analysis run locally. Optional metadata, AI, updates, and enabled diagnostics use online services as described in the privacy policy.
