Window Cannon

A ball physically rolls off one monitor and flies across the gap onto your second screen — because the page knows your real display layout.

About Window Cannon

Window Cannon is a browser-based toy that demonstrates dual screen physics in action. If you have a multi-monitor setup, launch the tool and watch as a ball physically rolls off one monitor and flies across the gap onto your second screen. The page automatically detects your real display layout using the Window Management API, calculating exactly where your screens meet so the ball transitions smoothly between them.

This cross screen ball demo showcases the practical capabilities of modern web APIs. It's a free window management API demo that runs entirely in your browser—no installation, no signup required. Your data never leaves your device, since all the physics calculations and screen detection happen locally. It's perfect for exploring how web technology can interact with your hardware configuration in ways that were previously impossible.

The physics engine smoothly animates the ball's journey as it leaves one display and enters another, creating an intuitive visualization of how your monitors are positioned. This toy is best experienced on a dual or multi-monitor setup, but even single-screen users can appreciate the underlying technical demonstration of the Window Management API in action.

Frequently asked questions

How does the ball know where my second monitor is?
Window Cannon uses the Window Management API to detect your actual display layout. When you launch the tool, it identifies where each monitor is positioned relative to others, then calculates the exact point where the ball should transition between screens. This real-world screen data is what makes the physics simulation accurate to your specific setup.
What do I need to use this tool?
Just a web browser and ideally a multi-monitor setup. Window Cannon runs entirely in your browser with no signup, installation, or downloads needed. If you have a single monitor, you can still view the demo, though the cross-screen ball effect is designed for dual or multi-monitor configurations.
Is my data safe? Will this collect information about my monitors?
Yes, your data is completely safe. Window Cannon runs locally in your browser, so all screen detection and calculations happen on your device. Nothing is sent to any server, and the tool doesn't store or track your monitor configuration.
Why would I want to use a multi-monitor toy?
It's a fun, interactive demonstration of how modern web APIs can understand your hardware setup. Whether you're curious about the Window Management API, want to see physics applied across physical screens, or just enjoy interactive browser-based toys, Window Cannon offers a unique experience that's only possible with multiple displays.
Is Window Cannon free to use?
Window Cannon is 100% free — no signup, no watermarks and no usage limits. It’s one of 200+ free tools we build and give away.
Do I need an account to play?
Never. Just open it and play — no signup, no installs, nothing to lose.
