Matricon for PC

No registration. The app is simple to use, has no ads and works completely offline.

Visionary SF writer Philip K. Dick once said: “We are living in a computer-programmed reality, and the only clue we have to it is when some variable is changed, and some alteration in our reality occurs.”… If what he was saying were true, then developers like me are just programmed to program the apps and the users like you are again just programmed to use (some of) them. Sounds weird to me. Anyway, Pythagoras supposedly said: “Everything is number”. In the case of Matricon app – everything is letter (but those are of course just zeros and ones).

Matricon will not alter your reality. But it’s surely fun! It allows you to turn any picture into an animated sequence of mysterious characters, which is inspired by famous “Matrix Rain” effect. Simply add an image and watch as the raining symbols form your selfie, a logo, a photo of your favorite movie star perhaps or some easily recognizable object. We have 3 different modes so you can make it look more abstract or more detailed. Just make sure your phone has a decent specs. Take a peek at the screenshots but they really don’t do it justice because they’re just static.

Swipe the central part of the screen to choose a photo from your gallery. Use physical volume buttons to adjust the size of the letters. If you press the upper volume button, you’ll get bigger symbols but more abstract representation of the chosen picture. The lower volume button will then get you back to the default (middle) size and another lower button press gives you small symbols but more detailed representation. Now swipe to choose some more.

If you wish to apply another exciting animated effect just double-tap the central part of the screen. That one is inspired by a thermal convection, which basically happens when some fluid boil and which causes the particles to float to the surface as bubbles…It will make your images hot, very hot! Metaphorically speaking. Little by little, as the heat increases, the images will become very abstract, unrecognizable. Of course, you can use physical volume buttons to adjust the size of the bubbles, just like you did with the previous effect. Or double-tap again to return to “matrix rain” which will cool the things down.

You might want to try our completely free Matricon Lite app first. It gives you “matrix rain” but no convection. It’s right here:

Despite occasionally using the first-person plural, I’m a solo developer. I am dedicated to creating some experimental graphical stuff. If you feel like buying me a coffee or even a donut, I won't say no. My Paypal: lordian12345@yahoo.com

After donating (donuting), as a humble thank you, I'll create (if you want me to) a unique digital piece of generative abstract art just for you (non-AI one, nothing’s wrong with AI but that would be too easy) and send it to your email address as a png picture file - with your explicit permission of course.

You could also use the email address above to send me a suggestion regarding the app.

Maybe it’s worth mentioning that we fully respect your privacy. It goes without saying that we don’t have access to your media files, they never leave your phone.

Thanks for being a part of this journey, enjoy and God bless.
