Gen-Wal
A personal-first AI daemon that generates a personalized motivational wallpaper for your desktop every morning.
"I built this as a small tool for myself. Keeping goals in my head wasn't enough. A goal is a promise that only action can keep. I needed a reminder that environment designs the mind."
* Wallpapers generated by Gen-Wal on my desktop.

Runs locally on your machine. No accounts. No dashboards.
Personal-First
Your values and intent stay on your machine. Visual beauty is generated on demand.
Adaptive

Why Gen-Wal?
Gen-Wal is not a productivity app.
It doesn’t track you, notify you, or demand attention.
It quietly changes your environment once a day —
so your goals stay visible without becoming noise.

- ✓ Spends a lot of time at computer
- ✓ Wants calm reminders, not noise
- ✓ Prefers personal, local-first tools

If that sounds like you, this will feel natural very quickly.
