Personal project desk

Aarav Workbench OS

A quieter starting desk

Open one thing at a time.

Choose a desk tool below, or use the dock when you know where you want to go. Your saved workspace still returns after you open something.

Window recipes

Set up a desk, not a mess.

A recipe opens its useful windows and minimizes the rest. Nothing is deleted; the dock can restore any app.

Your local desk trail

Return to a recent tool.

This browser only

Tip: every window can be maximized, minimized, or closed. The dock is always available.

Start Here

A small desktop, not a portfolio template

Welcome to the project desk.

This is a browser-based workbench for exploring the small tools, experiments, and build notes I am collecting while learning.

Tip: drag a title bar, or use Alt + arrow keys when a window title is focused.

Project Shelf

A few things on the bench

Projects worth opening.

Build Notes

What this desk is for

Keep the useful bits close.

  1. 01

    Start with one honest problem. Small tools become clearer when the first screen explains why they exist.

  2. 02

    Keep local things local. This desktop keeps its own layout, theme, and writing drafts in the browser.

  3. 03

    Leave room for the next iteration. Every window can close, return from the dock, and pick up where it left off.

Toolbox

Things behind the projects

Small, practical tools.

  • WebHTML · CSS · JavaScript
  • EditorVS Code
  • VersioningGit · GitHub
  • PublishingGitHub Pages

No login, server account, or hidden data is needed to explore this OS.

Notebook

Browser-local note

Leave yourself a useful note.

Saved in this browser while you type and not shared by Workbench. It is not encrypted, so do not use it for sensitive information on a shared device.

Nothing has been written yet.

Theme Lab

Saved on this device

Change the desk, not your data.

Built-in themes are saved. A chosen image lasts only for this open tab and is never uploaded.

Quieter motion affects this WebOS only; it does not optimize your computer.

Story Journal

Browser-local draft

Write a little of your story.

Typed draft text stays in this browser and is not encrypted, so avoid sensitive information on a shared device. If you choose voice input, your browser may send spoken audio to its own speech service; avoid dictating sensitive information. Workbench does not record audio, create a profile, match people, or publish anything.

Typing is always available. Voice input depends on this browser.

Game Room

Offline desk breaks

Two small games, no account needed.

Reaction game

Signal Sprint

Best: —

Start a run, wait for the signal, then press now.

Keyboard: focus “Press now” and use Space. A too-early press ends the run.

Workspace Snapshot

Guide-extra feature

Remember this desk.

Your current window layout can be saved to this browser.

Saved locally on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Workbench Console

Safe local control

Browser-only commands.

This is not a system terminal. It cannot run PowerShell, open files, or control apps on your computer.

Type help to see the small set of browser-only commands.

Output is temporary and is not saved.

Launchpad

Direct links and local activity

Leave the desk when you want.

These open their official websites in a new tab. Workbench does not sign in, embed, control them, or change their advertising.

Local check-in

A tiny desk streak.

0 days

Open a local Workbench tool to begin a local check-in streak.

Badges are local only, non-transferable, and have no monetary value.

Focus List

A small local reset

Pick one useful next step.

This list stays in this browser. Keep it light: a next task, not your whole life.

No next steps yet.
