The endless cascade of glowing green characters from The Matrix — running live in your browser as a full-screen screensaver. Columns of katakana and digits fall at different speeds, each led by a bright white-green head that fades into a trailing tail.
Click for fullscreen and use it as an ambient backdrop for a desk, a stream, a coding session or a party. Switch the fall speed with Slow / Normal / Fast. Nothing downloads and nothing loops — the rain is generated in real time, so it never repeats.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the real Matrix code?
It is an original recreation of the famous falling-code effect — cascading katakana and digits in green. It is not taken from the films; it is drawn live on a canvas.
Does it use a video or download?
No. The rain is generated in real time in your browser, so there is nothing to download and it never loops.
Can I change the speed?
Yes — the Slow, Normal and Fast buttons control how quickly the columns fall.
Will it run as a screensaver on my desktop?
It runs full-screen in your browser rather than as a system screensaver. Open it, press F for fullscreen, and leave the tab running.
