Winter

Leave a video playing for your Discord friends while you use your PC. Winter gives it a separate screen and can keep its sound out of your headphones with VB-CABLE.

Windows 10 & 11 ยท 64-bit

Before you download

Winter is currently an unsigned Windows installer. Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may show a warning saying that Windows protected your PC because the app does not yet have an established signing reputation.

The installer is hosted in the Winter GitHub release. You can review the source code and VirusTotal report before continuing.

About Winter

I made Winter because sharing a video with a Discord community meant giving up one of my own monitors. The browser stayed in the way, the audio stayed with me, and I could not properly use my PC at the same time.

Winter gives that browser its own screen. You can share it, leave it running, and keep doing what you were doing. You can also choose more than one Winter display if your computer and settings allow it.

I am learning to code. Winter was made with AI assistance and is open source so people can inspect it, use it, or improve it.

Privacy

Privacy by design. Privacy by default.

Winter does not have servers. It does not upload your screen, browser activity, accounts, or personal files. Its display and audio controls run locally on your PC.

Windows may ask for permission when Winter adds, removes, or repairs a display component. Optional VB-CABLE audio setup also asks before it changes anything.

Discord sends the video and audio you choose to share to viewers. Your browser and Discord have their own privacy policies.

Credits

Optional audio routing uses VB-CABLE by VB-Audio. It is a separate third-party component and is installed only with your approval.

Virtual display component: Virtual Display Driver project.

Winter is not affiliated with Discord or any browser you choose.
